Start spreading the news: Erica Sara Designs (that’s me!) will be designing and creating the official jewelry collection of the @nycmarathon again this year!

And that’s not all... I am super proud and excited to announce that I’ve signed a multiyear contract with @NYRR for both the marathon jewelry and jewelry for several other of their most popular races. I’ll be designing engraved necklaces, bracelets, key rings, cufflinks, and more — all available with custom personalization, of course. I have so many ideas and I cannot wait to develop them all!

Thank you to New York Road Runners for your faith in me and for being the most epic and amazing partner. And thank you to all of you in our beautiful running community who have supported my work and big dreams through the years. I am so grateful! Soooo…see you in November?!

“It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.

You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining. You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.

I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know.”

SPOT ON. Thank you @barbiethemovie 💗

To celebrate 10 years as a brand, we partnered with the incredibly talented @ericasara of Erica Sara Designs, a woman-owned small business, to create limited-edition rabbit jewelry for on the run and everyday wear.

Every single piece is cut, filed, soldered, polished, and finished by hand in her North Carolina studio. The care and craftsmanship she pours into her work mirrors everything we’ve tried to build as a brand over the last ten years. We are so honored to celebrate this milestone alongside a fellow woman-owned business, and a friend who has been along for the journey with us. Thank you, Erica, for helping us mark ten years in the most beautiful way.

You can check out Erica’s limited edition rabbit jewelry and our full Decade Collection at the link in bio.

When you own a small business, you look at milestones a little differently. Ten years isn’t just ten years. It’s thousands of decisions, countless pivots, moments when things worked and moments when they absolutely didn’t. It’s believing in an idea long enough to keep showing up for it, even when nobody else can see where it’s headed.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve always admired @runinrabbit

Over the last decade, they’ve built something really special. Not just a successful running brand, but a community. They’ve grown tremendously while somehow holding onto the things that made people fall in love with them in the first place. As a woman-owned business myself, I know how much work goes into that.

So when the opportunity came up to create a jewelry collection celebrating Rabbit’s 10th anniversary, it felt like more than a collaboration. It felt like a chance to honor a milestone that deserves celebrating.

Because ten years is rare but ten years of staying true to your vision while continuing to evolve is even rarer.

Congratulations to @devremon @jillmariedeeringand the entire Rabbit team on ten incredible years. I’m honored to be a small part of the celebration!

“I feel like I’m always fangirling over your posts but I love how you post race pieces of all distances and times… as a slower runner that doesn’t see many finish times like mine on socials, I feel so seen!”

A DM I received a couple of weeks ago. It came in after I posted one of my Custom PR with Diamond Necklaces. I don’t remember the exact time on it. What I remember is that it mattered to the person who ran it. That’s the whole point.

Here’s something I’ve noticed after 15 years deep in the running community: social media running culture has a visibility problem. Some brands belittle walk breaks. Others keep the space elite and exclusive. But that’s not the community I fell in love with.

The whole story of running includes the woman who ran her first 5K at 45 and cried at the finish line. The dad who walked the last three miles and still showed up the next year. The runner who chased the same PR for four years and finally got it on a Sunday morning in a race with 200 people. Their times might not go viral but stories are just as meaningful.

When I engrave a time onto a piece, I’m not ranking it. I’m preserving it. A__ hour marathon is a marathon. A__ half is a half. A__ minute 5K is a 5K (Time is relative. It’s not up to me to judge or fill in the blanks.). Someone rearranged their whole life to train for that. Someone crossed that finish line.

If you’ve ever scrolled past a sea of times that didn’t look like yours: you belong here. Your PR is personal. It belongs to you. And it’s worth celebrating.

Qualifying for Boston has never been on my list.
I know. Controversial thing to say this week.

But I’ve always been a slower runner. The kind who shows up anyway, who knows what it costs to get to a start line, any start line, and chooses to do it regardless of the clock. To be honest, I love to take it easy on my runs.

What I do know is this: the energy in Boston right now is something you can’t manufacture. It builds for months. It lives in the training runs before dawn, in the long runs that broke you a little and made you something more. It peaks on Monday in a way that makes the whole city feel like it belongs to runners. It’s rare and it’s real.

And then there are the charity runners who don’t just train for 26.2 but spend months asking, following up, fundraising, putting their name and their cause out into the world so that someone else’s life can be a little better. They earn that start line twice. Once with their legs, once with their heart.

My role in all of this? I get to sit at my bench and make something that holds the weight of what you earned.

This is the unicorn charm. A bestseller. Available in sterling silver and 14k gold, with the choice of a diamond or a blue sapphire. The gold and blue combination is a quiet nod to the colors of Boston, for all the runners who earned the right to wear them.

Every charm starts as raw metal. I cut it, shape it, set the stone by hand. There’s no shortcut in the process, which feels right, because there was no shortcut in your training either. The cold miles. The early alarms. The moments you wanted to stop and didn’t. I think about all of that while I work. I make these pieces slowly and carefully because the story behind them deserves that kind of attention.

This is what I love. The chance to hold a small piece of this race in my hands and send it home to you.

These last few days are yours. Sit with what you’ve built. Monday is almost here.

And then there are the charity runners who don’t just train for 26.2 but spend months asking, following up, fundraising, putting their name and their cause out into the world so that someone else’s life can be a little better. They earn that start line twice. Once with their legs, once with their heart.

My role in all of this? I get to sit at my bench and make something that holds the weight of what you earned.

This is the unicorn charm. A bestseller. Available in sterling silver and 14k gold, with the choice of a diamond or a blue sapphire. The gold and blue combination is a quiet nod to the colors of Boston, for all the runners who earned the right to wear them.

Every charm starts as raw metal. I cut it, shape it, set the stone by hand. There’s no shortcut in the process, which feels right, because there was no shortcut in your training either. The cold miles. The early alarms. The moments you wanted to stop and didn’t. I think about all of that while I work. I make these pieces slowly and carefully because the story behind them deserves that kind of attention.

This is what I love. The chance to hold a small piece of this race in my hands and send it home to you.

These last few days are yours. Sit with what you’ve built. Monday is almost here.

Qualifying for Boston has never been on my list.
I know. Controversial thing to say this week.

But I’ve always been a slower runner. The kind who shows up anyway, who knows what it costs to get to a start line, any start line, and chooses to do it regardless of the clock. To be honest, I love to take it easy on my runs.

What I do know is this: the energy in Boston right now is something you can’t manufacture. It builds for months. It lives in the training runs before dawn, in the long runs that broke you a little and made you something more. It peaks on Monday in a way that makes the whole city feel like it belongs to runners. It’s rare and it’s real.

Is 48 too old for a comeback?

Three years ago, running got really hard.

At the same time, I found out I had a cancerous lump in my breast. At the same time, perimenopause symptoms took over my life. And everywhere I turned, the advice was the same: running is no longer good for your body. Running will spike your cortisol. Running will make everything worse.

I believed it. I let running become a second thought. I focused on strength training instead, and honestly? It made a huge difference.

But I missed running. I still miss it. That feeling it gives me. The way it’s always been mine.

So I’m giving it another shot.

I’m still lifting two to three times a week. But on cardio days and leg days, I’m choosing to run. This week I got in three runs. They were hard. They were exhausting. They were humbling. But none of them were discouraging.

Because here’s what I’ve always known about running: it gets easier. Every step you put in, you get more out. That’s not just motivation. That’s just how it works.
I’m not back yet. But I’m back.

Have you ever had to come back to something you loved after a long time away? A injury, an illness, a season of life that just took over? I’d love to hear your story and any advice you have. What did your comeback look like? What helped? What do you wish you’d known?

Five minutes. Hot coffee. Nobody asking for anything. Quiet time and fresh air. This is peak motherhood.

I made this one for me first. My kids’ names, engraved over and over on one little disc. I wanted something that felt like them without being loud about it. Just mine, and close.

The Say It Again bracelet carries your kids’ names on repeat, because that’s exactly how they live in your head. Always there. Even in the stillness.

Mother’s Day is May 10th
