You can take the girl out of Wisconsin.... but the You can take the girl out of Wisconsin.... but there will always be a magnetic pull that brings her back for Summerfest 👌I had THE BEST week visiting all my favorite places and people in Milwaukee this June - there's truly no better time to be in my favorite city. ❤️(and of course, I bagged as many @lakefrontbrewery Hazy Rabbits as possible. 🍻)Wisconsin Summer pt. 1 of 2
July will be a tough month to beat... we spent all July will be a tough month to beat... we spent all our free time backpacking to alpine lakes, exploring new sections of national forest, paddle boarding and swimming, cycling around Hayden Lake, learning how to flyboard, and taking a weekend trip to Missoula to see @tbtduluth (for the 3rd time) at one of the coolest venues we've ever been 👌🐢🍻🌲🏕🎣🥔🚲
Caribbean Blues ⛵️🌊🐠Last month I atte Caribbean Blues ⛵️🌊🐠Last month I attended WITS by @sheswanderful and kicked off my trip with a long overdue reunion with my Midwestern kindred spirit - @onetrekatatime - and a catamaran trip on the turquoise blue Caribbean waters to the island of Icacos. 🏝We had a wonderful day swimming, snorkeling, socializing with other likeminded women in travel and enjoying and a few too many rum punches 🥂A huge thank you to @castillotoursdmc for hosting us!

I ran my first marathon today 🤯😭🤩I'm s I ran my first marathon today 🤯😭🤩I'm still processing this huge and emotional accomplishment.. but my only goals were to finish and have fun and I'm happy to report I did both 👌This was the hardest physical and mental challenge I've ever taken on in my life. Although I regularly run, I never thought I'd complete a marathon and often told anyone who asked that it wasnt something I was interested in mostly because of my own fear and self doubt. 👟Every single one of the 26.2 miles I completed was earned in the months of train up, excessive stretching and foam rolling, nutriton experimentation, and endless injury management (shin splints, PTTD, bruised toenails, blisters on top of blisters) along with the neverending support from my friends, family, and running community. 💕Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way - especially @tpeter27 who was always more excited about my training accomplishments than me, @FleetFeetCDA for giving me a killer advice and a new running community in CDA, @cda.marathon for hosting a gorgeous race, and @novemberprojectmilwaukee for motivating me to get back into running 5 years ago. 🎉
