Running: Cheaper Than Therapy, Hotter Than Crying

Every Damn Mile, Life & Running

If you’re here, welcome — you’ve officially stumbled upon a small part of my world. A place where chaos lives, sweat is welcome, and the slightly delusional are more like family.

Here is where I plan to unlock the next chapter of my life and document it along the way; the miles, the meltdowns, and the triumphs that follow.

Let’s get one thing out of the way upfront:

I’m not the fastest. I’m not the fanciest. I’m not the girl gliding effortlessly through a sunrise run with a perfect ponytail and a matching set that never rides up.

I’m the girl who:

  • Has argued with her Garmin like it’s a toxic ex
  • Has eaten a gel that tasted like regret
  • Has cried at every milestone
  • Has laughed at her numerous blunders
  • Has failed more times than she can count
  • And still wakes up every day ready for the next big adventure.

Because running?
Running is my therapy.
Running is my chaos.
Running is my comeback story — every damn time.

My story isn’t the only one that matters here. I want to hear from you — the reader, the runner, the wanderer, the comeback artist, or the curious soul who somehow landed on this page. How did you find me? Did something here resonate with you? Share a piece of your journey, big or small. I’d love to know more about who’s out there running their own damn miles alongside me.

I’m Tammy — a Louisville runner chasing every damn mile with grit, humor, and a whole lot of heart. I’m not the fastest, but I’m relentless. This space is where I share the miles, the mess, the wins, and the wild ride of becoming the strongest version of myself.

  1. I love this post! Thanks for sharing! Definitely resonates with me! I finally ran my first marathon! I wasn’t the first and I wasn’t the last, and I was closer to the last than the first! Ha ha! But it was a blast! And I want to do it again!

    1. Thank you, Jared! And WOW — congrats on your first marathon! That’s an incredible accomplishment. Pace doesn’t matter one bit… crossing that finish line is what counts. You showed up, you pushed through, and you finished. That’s the whole spirit of Every Damn Mile. I love that you’re already thinking about the next one!

      2. Dang! A waitlist — that’s how you know it’s going to be one of those races everyone raves about. The kind runners whisper about like it’s a secret PR portal. I definitely need to check this one out. I’m excited for you, and keeping my fingers crossed that you get that golden email.
