I had the opportunity to chat with Salomon athlete Jen Segger about her new trail running camp in Canada. It looks like a ton of fun & she's offering 10% off registration to UCU readers. Check it out:) http://www.ultrachicksunite.com/2012/03/want-to-go-to-trail-running-camp.html?m=1
Double Top 100: LOST
..ahh, and somehow LOST makes its way to my blogosphere again today. Yes, in a word, the inaugural Double Top 100 can be summed up for me as "lost". I was lost physically, mentally, emotionally, and every other-ally I can think of. I want to retrace my steps for you, and take you along on …
The 100 That Wasn’t & The Ashley That Isn’t
I was so pumped to do this race. Anyways... here's the "recap": I was out in the mountains for over 11 hours, ran a good 40-45 miles of mostly climb, and mainly off course. I spent the rest of that time trying to figure out where the heck I was and how myself and others …

Starting to Wonder if its Over
Today I spent the day in deep thought. Why? Because I had absolutely nothing else to do! The past month has been a little strange.. Okay.. Really strange. I have had absolutely ZERO motivation or interest to do ANYTHING- including running, training, talking to my friends, cleaning, looking cute, going anywhere. Basically I feel dead. …

So the last few weeks brought me a bout with mild over training, and an injury brought on by running in Pure Connects for a few intense speed sessions. Unfortunately, all though I run in paper thin shoes, these shoes set my heel awkwardly, and caused me to over use my quad muscle. It was …

Waiting For What’s Next
I don't know exactly where I'm going, but I know exactly what I'm searching for. Every single night I lay in my bed and think about it, every day I'm distracted with the thoughts: I want to push my body to the ultimate brink. I want to feel it again- the moment that I realize …
Comfortable? (brain chatter)
Couldn't sleep- up at 3am. Not abnormal. My brain wouldn't shut off, so I decided to write out everything I was stuck thinking about! Kind of like a journal, I guess (one that thousands of people read every month??) Doesn't matter to me. It won't make sense to ANYBODY, it doesn't flow or necessarily fit …
Training Week 1/15
This week I'm ready to crank it back up. I won't be doing mega mileage again yet, probably under 100, but lots of speed, mountains, and quality- the rest will just be junk miles - which are only in there to keep my distance strength & fitness up for competing in 100s. <--That's my sched. …
