I run really long distances, and I build things that I wish already existed.
I've run across the Atacama, the Mojave, and the Gobi, usually a few hundred miles at a time and always with a crew. In between races I run a summer camp for young people in New Orleans, and I'm building Watch Women's Sports (IRL). Most of what I write ends up on Substack.

An hour on why I keep choosing hard things: The Speed Project, 100-milers and the Gobi, following the opportunities that give me butterflies, the people who carry me when my confidence doesn't, and starting Watch Women's Sports IRL after struggling to find games to take my daughter to.
A New Orleans feature on why I built Watch Women's Sports IRL: writing the plan in a rocking chair with my newborn, the frustration of checking Tulane's, Loyola's and UNO's sites one by one to find a game five minutes from my house, and taking my daughter to the ones I find.
Watch Women's Sports (IRL) took the grand prize at Idea Village's Pitch Night at the House of Blues in New Orleans, against four other finalists.
I'll miss the community, shared suffering (and shared triumph), the silliness, absurdity, and challenge of the entire endeavor. Mostly, I'll miss the people. It's always about the people.
I was an athlete as a kid. I loved the feeling of running hard, of competing, of seeing what I was capable of. I remember, as a young athlete, how meaningful it was to me when people showed up to my games.
Running
I ran my first marathon as a college freshman in 2008 and my first ultra in 2017. In 2023 I entered The Speed Project Solo, 293 miles from Santa Monica to Las Vegas, as my first attempt at anything past 100 miles. I won it outright.
Since then I've run across the Atacama, finished the Moab 240 with a ten week old at home, and spent four days crossing the Gobi desert at Ultra Gobi. Most of these races have also been fundraisers for the camp I run.

Find a game. Put it on your calendar. Bring a friend. Bring a kid.
Supporting women's sports in real life shouldn't be hard, but it often is. Schedules live on dozens of different websites, and a lot of them are incomplete or out of date. Watch Women's Sports (IRL) puts it in one place, across every league and every level, filtered by where you are and what's actually on.
I remember asking my mom why 'women couldn't be professional athletes' when I was young, which was an assumption I made because I only saw men playing sports professionally. Every little girl who plays sports deserves to dream.

A Quick Hits mention rather than a full feature — but The GIST’s newsletters go out to a million subscribers. Watch Women’s Sports (IRL) picked up for letting fans filter women’s sports events by location to find games happening nearby: “We love a problem solver.”
