Nine years ago today I ran my first half marathon. I remember the nerves, the anxiety, the imposter syndrome, and the sheer joy of crossing that first finish line.

Even after that race (and many races to follow) It was difficult for me to truly consider myself a runner. Looking back, that’s such BS. I AM a runner. I love running and feel so empowered and strong to have been part of this sport consistently for most of my adult life.

For all the miles on my own, with my running community, at home and around the world, I thank my body for everything it has achieved. This 5ft nothing girl has run 2 marathons and that’s amazing! So jog on, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Madre Spring Performance Project 2026 🌸✨

We started with a 5 HOUR WORKSHOP 🔥

We used this as an opportunity to dive deeper into our community and ensemble, as well as welcome new bodies into the space 🤍 After years of dancing together, we finally got to share weight, explore eye contact, choreographic tools, and ensemble building… plus some fun clown exercises to bring in the laughter 🤡💫

There’s something powerful about slowing down long enough to really see one another. This process was so much more than about creating steps. It’s was about building a shared language, strengthening our sensitivity, and expanding what’s performatively possible 🌿

So grateful for the curiosity, generosity, and courage in the room.

Last week I spent 5 days moving my body with the most incredible group of human beings at the @pilobolus adult summer intensive. I could not have been met with a more supportive, welcoming and open community.

Thank you to my fellow dancers and our fabulous instructors @quincy.m.ellis & @jordankristondance for teaching us with such patience and care.

This was a dream and a lesson that it’s never too late to try something new and challenge your body. See you next year I hope!
