This year is already shaping up to be pretty awesome!

2015 is going to be a great year, I can already tell.

Ever since I graduated from college in 2012 I’m struggled to find my running focus, but over the past few months I feel like I slowly but surely started to figure things out. I have a solid goal, an amazing coach that I trust to get me there, and now the support of some of my favorite companies!

On Friday night Henri and I were leaving the gym when I got one of the most exciting e-mails ever. I was accepted as a 2015 Altra Ambassador!

I put on my first pair of Altras in September this year and it was love at first step!

Meeting the Altra team in Bethlehem, PA during the RW Half and Festival solidified my passion for the company and the people that make these amazing shoes. I am so looking forward to representing Altra throughout the year and engaging with the awesome running community they are forming!

I also recently joined the ambassador team for Cocogo and Honey Stinger

I have been using Honey Stinger products ever since I started running marathons. Most traditional energy gels and chew upset my stomach in a MAJOR way and are just made with such unnatural ingredients. What I love about Honey Stinger fuel is that it is effective and tasty while also being natural and easy on the stomach.

Cocogo is a product that is newer to me but again it is an amazing, natural product that tastes great and it has quickly become my favorite way to re-hydrate after all the hard workouts I’ve been doing recently! The Lemon-Lime is my absolute fave but the other two flavors are also pretty darn amazing!

I can’t wait to share my love of these three companies with you over the next 12 months and hopefully beyond!

First up: keep your eyes peeled for my new favorite cocktail featuring Cocogo on the blog next week! 😉

What was your run today? I had an easy 8 miler and actually managed to make it outside, even though my face was pretty solidly frozen by the end. ha

When is your next race?
