For anyone who has been following my story for the past few years on Twitter and Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve been seriously bitten by the running bug. Every weekend I’m out on the trails and going for a long run. In 2016, I completed my first three marathons and in June 2017, I completed […]
I frequently receive questions about how (of if) beef can be part of a healthy diet. Often times, beef is acquainted with cuts of yesteryear which carried more saturated fat. Thanks to advances in meat cutting to trim excess fat, cattle breeding and feeding, we see more lean beef today than we have in previous […]
Today we’ll continue with a series on the Montana Running Ranchers relay team. The team will be participating in the Ragnar 200-mile relay event in Hawaii, October 14-15, 2016. The team uses this event as an advocacy opportunity to share the message of beef in a healthy diet and Montana ranching with runners and athletes from across […]

This race was a few minutes slower than the June marathon, but considering the short recovery time between the two, I am […]

I’ve made it no secret that I’d really like to complete 50k and 50 mile runs next year. There’s just something about the challenge that intrigues me. So when I was traveling on Memorial Day weekend and stopped in Saint Regis, Montana for the night, I stumbled upon a new prospect when searching for local […]
I did it! 26.2 miles completed. After months of training and working toward my goal, I started and finished my first marathon at the 2016 Montana Governor’s Cup on June 11. I went in with a goal of finishing in under 4 hours and crossed the finish line with six minutes to spare, finishing in […]
As I began sharing in my previous post, it has been an active and fun Spring competing in races. Now, I’m in the final month of training prior to my first marathon (June 11). The weight of covering 26.2 miles in under four hours is beginning to weigh on me. But I’ve been aiming for […]
It’s been a busy Spring putting in the miles, both on the trails and pavement. I’m right at a month from my first marathon and so far so good. The events surround a race day (of any distance) and camaraderie at the start/finish line are a great opportunity to meet new folks and often start […]
No one eats a perfect diet. No food is perfect. However, food is fuel and we could all pay a little closer attention to what (and how much) we eat. This is especially true as I train and prepare for a busy 2016 race schedule that concludes as part of Team Beef at the Marine […]
