Wow! What a whirlwind few weeks it has been!
I thought it would be fun to catch you up on all the things that are happening around here!
Let’s start with Sunrise Fitness!
Welcome to my new space & my new business!
An opportunity to move into this amazing space was presented to me a few weeks ago. It was one of those things that I didn’t know I needed until that moment. Within 4 days I made the decision to start training in my own space and had signed a lease on this beautiful location.
I have been training my individual personal training clients out of the Tiger Activity Center & while that has been great, this is even better! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to grow my business in this way. Sometimes things line up in such a way you simply know it’s the right next step. This was one of those times.
I’m thrilled to open the space up to more folks starting in July with some group fitness classes and a seniors fitness class. Stay tuned for more details!!
Next, let me tell you about Western States!!!
The Western States Endurance Run is coming up in 12 short days!! Western States is the “Super Bowl” of ultra running or the “Boston Marathon” of ultras. It is an incredibly competitive 100 mile race that starts in Olympic Valley, CA (near Lake Tahoe) and finishes 100.2 miles later in Auburn, CA. It is the oldest 100 mile race in the country & follows the Western States trail which was originally used for the Tevis Cup, an endurance horse race, that still happens today.
To get into Western States, you have to finish a qualifying 100 mile race & then apply to the lottery. I had been applying to the lottery for the last 5 years when my name was drawn for the 2020 event.
And then 2020 happened…. Western States was postponed another year. So…. here we are 12 days away from a race that I have literally been training for for 2 full years.
And while I am finishing up peak training for this event, figuring out pacing schedules, packing lists and all the other pre race details for this huge event, I am starting a new business!
Life is so awesome!!
Thank you for coming along with me on this wild journey! I can’t wait to share more details about the race & the business in the coming weeks.

I’ll post race links & ways to track my progress on race day as we get closer!
