Abby raced her first ever 10k at the Run Stillwater Log Run!

Rachel set a new Half Marathon PR at the Run Stillwater Log Run!

After months of preparing and one of his best training builds yet, Phil stepped up to the start line of the Superior Fall 50 Mile in Northern Minnesota!

If you've ever been on the Superior Hiking Trail, you know how tough this race is and the courage it takes to stare down 50 miles of it.

Phil made it an impressive 27 miles!

Although the day didn't end up like he (or I) had hoped, Phil learned invaluable lessons, met amazing people, and had an overall positive experience out on the trails.

A DNF is hard to swallow, but I know it'll only add flame to the fire of Phil's next attempt. 🔥

Congrats on all you accomplished this season, Phil!

Running hasn't felt the same lately - but today was a good day. My first race as a 40yo...a masters runner. 😯

🐚 The Lake Run 9 Miler in Shell Lake. My goal was to race smart, and I accomplished that. I'm not the fastest I've been, but it was enough to take 1st place female and 6th overall in this sweet, small-town race.

Icing on the cake: I saw some familiar faces and met some really nice runners with big goals on their race calendars. 💛

(I usually get a song stuck in my head during races - today was "Breathe" by Fabolous.)

Tara is new to running and has set some pretty awesome goals! She ran her FIRST EVER Half Marathon last Saturday - the Heatwave Half Marathon (very aptly named given the temps/humidity that day) - and crushed it! She not only made her time goal, but she also finished 2nd in her age group! Congratulations, Tara!! 🥈🔥
