Biological clock vs bucket list

And a lot of complicated feelings in between.

I’ve always wanted to be a mom, but no one warned me about how hard it would be to decide when, especially with so many things I still want to accomplish.

I wish people talked about this more.

Have you ever felt this too?

I was terrified to tell my boyfriend I had MS

After 10 years together, I couldn’t stop thinking: What if he leaves because he’s scared of what this diagnosis could mean for the rest of our lives?

And the hardest part was, I understood why he might.

I’ll never forget how he reacted.

Raw emotions reflecting on 4 years with MS

The biggest silver lining to having multiple sclerosis has been experiencing true love from the people who care about you.

I gave a toast to my family and their support is a big part of what keeps me going every day. It truly takes a village when you’re chronically ill, and I’ll always be grateful for mine

This is your reminder to tell the people you care about that you are thankful for them too 🫶🏼

Always listen to your body!!

I did not predict experiencing knee pain this close to the Chicago Marathon. I was supposed to run 22 miles with ten at race pace, and I had to call it after 9 miles. My knee was feeling funky and rather than pushing through, I knew it was a sign to stop and not get further injured so I can get to the start line healthy.

It’s so important to know the difference between discomfort and pain so you can treat your body properly. My peak run wasn’t what I anticipated, but I know it was the right decision.

I’m going to trust the rest of my training and know that I will still show up on race day!

Can you relate to your training not going according to plan? Let me know

Officially submitted my BQ!!

What do you think the cut off time will be for 2027?

Maybe we should say it out loud

Introducing HER Side. A new series about womanhood, the things we carry, and the conversations I wish we had more often.

Some of these stories I’ve never shared before. And I have a feeling I’m not the only one who’s lived them.

What’s one part of being a woman you wish we talked about more? Let me know below

Dancing with the Stars draft picks are in!

I’ve always loved DWTS, but it hit even more so when Selma Blair was on it in 2022 representing all of us with multiple sclerosis.

It’s such an amazing show that truly inspires, and I cannot wait to see the stacked cast show us what’s in store during the Dancing With The Stars premiere tonight!

Whose fantasy team turned out better?

If you ran a BQ this year, it’s your time to shine!!

Make sure to submit it before Sept 18! And there’s a few changes this year…

While typically you have to run minutes under the qualifier time to get accepted into the Boston Marathon, you now have a chance to be selected even if you ran the qualifier on the dot with the new Boston Qualifier Selection Program, where 1,000 spots of the field will be given to athletes at random who ran a qualifier but didn’t meet the cutoff.

This is also the first year the net-downhill elevation rule will be in effect, where courses with over 1,499 ft will count, but anything greater changes the time you need to run it in. I’m personally really curious to see how this impacts the cut off time.

Who’s submitting a BQ this year and what do you think of these changes? Let me know below!
