This little insignia came into focus as i was doing chest presses on my mat which I hadn’t noticed before. I was in a positive mood after listening to Anita Moorjani’s book “What if this is Heaven?” It’s been hard to see my atrophied leg (and body) since my first achilles reattachment surgery back in July. After 2 more surgeries and many weeks being laid up, I’m starting over again with mat exercises on my 3rd week 5.

Anita talks about knowing true unconditional love after her near death experience which she sometimes even has to remind herself after years have passed. Loving yourself unconditionally means loving yourself exactly as you are right now. Not having to be or do anything at all to be worthy. Hearing her words made me change my attitude today.

As I do abs exercises I see that there is muscle tone left in my belly just under the surface and my leg muscles will begin to come back when I can walk again. Small mental adjustments can make big differences in my mental health, which is why I’m constantly in search of books with positive messages and/or inspiring stories on audible that truly resonate with me.

Just finished “Broken Open” after I was!! Thanks .bethannekw for the suggestion! ❤️🙏

Exploring trails with Ellie has been a part of my daily life since I adopted her at 9 weeks old. Hearing that she might have cancer hit me hard.😢

Ellie has been at my side through countless seasons in the mountains, endless training miles, and my move to Kauai. She’s been there for me every time I was lost on a trail, using her nose to show me the way. I never felt alone or lonely or scared in the wilderness or exploring new remote island spots with her at my side. She put up with me taking countless photos and I tried to find her trails with water so we could both enjoy the effort.

Ellie has been at my side through this achilles tear/surgery/recovery nightmare 3 times! Since I’ve been on my back, she’s been down and it’s been hot too so maybe it took a while for me to notice her pain.❤️

I’m praying it’s not the worst case scenario and hoping for a miracle outcome. Our journey continues together.💕🐶🙏❤️

Last weekend I had the opportunity to “run” with Darrin who pushes those who can’t run in races. He ran with Team Triumph in the Kauai 1/2 marathon and was looking for someone to push in training. I was happy to have the opportunity to be part of the group and fully enjoyed the experience knowing that I would again be open to a different perspective from a chair.

When he sent me this picture I immediately teared up seeing myself in this light. This devastating injury experience has humbled me in so many ways! I have much deeper compassion for how difficult it is for disabled people to go anywhere with steps and no ramp, or on chewed up sidewalks or steep inclines. I witnessed a tough wheelchair athlete trying to go into a local joint where the ramp had chunks of grass between the concrete and she fought her way through. I’m blessed to know that I have a choice to come back strong. I will never take my abilities or my opportunities for granted!

Incredible Kauai Marathon 2022 finally back!! Great photo of Gilles, Bethanne, & Eric after one of the toughest marathon courses I’ve seen! Nonstop steep, long, uphills mixed with heat and humidity. Tracy is my stunt double (2nd pic)

I manned an impromptu rest stop at mile 19 which ran right through our neighborhood. Thanks to my boys who helped me with a very serious dehydration 911 for a young male runner who was taken off by paramedics. He literally fell into our laps, then went into seizure, followed by vomiting, and severe cramps. I’m going to step up my aid station for next year!!

Today I go back to surgery to reattach part of my achilles - again. On this 6th week of my recovery I have to go back to the start. 😞

In the of grand scheme of life, death, and serious illness, this is merely a speedbump. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to start again and do it right.

I’m grateful for my physical therapist who said my achilles felt too thin and told me to see the doctor before any more treatment. At least now I know my achilles will be ironclad.

Visualizing my younger, stronger self doing what I want to be doing motivates me to believe in the possibilities of my future self. Of course I can’t turn back time but I can start working on what I’m able to do today to begin growing stronger each day.

Beautiful morning in Poipu with the Kauai Divas & Dudes at the Koloa 10 mile race! Even though I can’t run it’s so fun to cheer everyone on and be part of the celebration, plus could be my stunt double on the course.

Reminiscing back to when Ellie🐶was just a pup who fell in love with snow and trailrunning and when Zoe😻was still prancing around aloof and in charge, but always near. Colorado days!❤️

Happy to my favorite running buddy!🥰🐶🏃🏻‍♀️

I’m continually in awe of Ellie’s athletic agility on technical trail and eternally grateful for her companionship and unconditional love.❤️😍🌈

Shared birthday hike adventure for me and . Thanks to James for slowing it down (even though he’s a super speedy runner) and experiencing every lookout!

Since I’m not in racing shape I was able to enjoy the 22 miles at a speed hike pace and then able to go faster in the end without exhaustion through the rain!

Always say yes to opportunities that pop up! You’ll never regret it!

Our Story

As a youth growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, I was never much of an athlete. In fact I didn’t become a “real” runner until I was almost 30 years old when my husband introduced me to the marathon. I was immediately hooked on running and enjoyed training for and competing in races.

We moved to the mountains of Colorado and after the birth of my second son, I had a renewed competitive fire and began to work toward my ultimate running goal of qualifying for the U.S. Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials. I qualified for and ran in the trials in both 2004 and 2008.

I am still a competitive runner finishing over 35 marathons, over 50 ½ marathons and numerous road and trail races of every distance including my first 50 miler last year. Along the way I have dreamed of creating my own running shorts with the perfect fit including pockets that would be able to carry all my necessities without weighing me down. And of course with a great look!
