My ultimate goal is still ahead of me- going further to break a men’s World Record. Believing it is step 1 to achieving it 👊!
Whether it happens in 6 days or if I have to go even further- the magic lies in me 🦄✨.
END/🧵
I hope being openly AuDHD encourages other disabled and neurodivergent humans to embrace their human diversity 🦄.
📷 In 2023 @scmtny , I became the first woman to set an outright American Record when I ran my 48-hour World Record 🔝.
8/🧵
I can keep competing at the highest level in ultrarunning, while being openly known as a disabled athlete. I’m inspired by this 🕊️, while knowing I can inspire others and beyond sports as well 💫.
7/🧵
Now I understand that my human differences, the way I experience the world, are also my gifts 🚀🌖.
Today I can embrace every part of myself and be visibly AuDHD 🌈🧠.
6/🧵
I never saw the limits most of the world perceives- because my brain & nervous system are different.
I flash back a lot during races being a girl practicing 🏀 in the driveway & heat until I’d black out. This mindset is hardwired in me- push to a “near death” experience.
5/🧵
My disabilities didn’t just shape my work ethic. They shaped my values and character- to be kind, caring, and stand up for myself and others 🦸♀️.
I’ve struggled extraordinarily hard in life, but I’ve also always had a mindset without barriers 🌈☁️.
4/🧵
Whether it was school, my job, training, or racing- I worked painstakingly hard 🔨🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️.
This work ethic helped carry me through 116,000+ lifetime running miles so far, rain or shine 👊.
3/🧵
I thought I had overcome my childhood disability and speech difficulties. I didn’t realize that all this time I was actually Autistic/ADHD 🌈🧠.
I didn’t understand why things felt harder. I just thought I had to work extra hard and be extra persistent 😤.
2/🧵
I’ve broken barriers in time, distance, and wins from 50 miles to 6 days.
However breaking sports barriers isn’t what I’m most proud of.
It’s that I did it all, and everything in my life, as a disabled human 🥹.
1/🧵
My recent podcast with Josh Rosenthal on Borderland Trailrunning is also on Youtube! He asked so many great questions and reflecting on races during my career. I felt re-inspired remembering 💫. I love our sport ⛰️🏃♀️!

I did an in-depth Q&A with Neurotribe about my lived experiences and finding out I’m late-diagnosed as Autistic/ADHD 🌈🧠.
I’m grateful to Emilia at Neurotribe for asking such thoughtful questions so I could explain my human differences 🦄.

Thank you so much Nora Bird for the lovely card and welcoming me back to the Mad City 100km 🙌💯! I ran my first 100km there in 2015 in 7:26 and got down to 7:08 to win the World Championship 🥇🇺🇸.
I think it’s a great project & see if I can crack sub 7 hrs 🔨👷♀️!
Been hooked on Bad Bunny lately as my warmup music- good stuff 💃!
Thank you so much to the Sport and Rights Alliance for funding support and solidarity ⚖️✊.
Their work connects people impacted by harm in sport with critical legal, wellbeing, and safety resources.
I’ll keep doing my best to advocate for safety & integrity in Ultrarunning.

Be an ally ✊.
Five-time U.S. Olympian Katie Uhlaender says a point-manipulation scheme blocked her bid to compete in Milan Cortina. U.S. sports officials are backing her bid for a special berth at the Winter Games. n.pr/3LMzXNR
A throwback to the 2022 Jackpot 100/US Championship, which I won overall in 12:41:10 🦸♀️🙌🎉!
I caught Arlen Glick around 88 miles. Kept grinding & broke my 12 Hr World Record (151.11 km).
With 5km to go, I thought of Keira D’Amato & dug deep 💥👟. This is a satisfying win & memory!
Autistic Barbie 🫶! This is so flippin cool I’m thinking about getting another one so I can preserve this one in the box 🥹💕.
Thank you for listening Christine- it’s a good one! We had some technical difficulties with the sound cause of spotty internet, but we got it done with 5 tries haha! Great conversation- enjoy 🙌🎤!
I joined the Running Scared podcast for a great conversation about my path from the marathon to Ultrarunning, the 2015 100K that changed everything, how the sport has evolved, injuries, resilience, & how being Autistic/ADHD shapes how I train/compete!

My training log from Aug 2004- we didn’t have external validation from social media yet, but we had goals and dreams, stories, and quotes to motivate and inspire us to shoot for the moon 🔥🚀🌖!
Last night I ran my 2nd run- 1 hr easy.
I started running doubles in 2004 and always felt best on those days. Then in grad school studying bone & exercise taught me that moving frequently is most anabolic. It instilled the purpose behind my training & the magic came out 🏃♀️✨✨.
Feeling the good vibes this morning and going into the week 😎☀️🙌!
Got in an easy 90 min this morning and will run 1 hr this evening. I’m working on building my volume back up 🧱🏠, after taking a bit of a break in December. My energy and sleep is doing better, so yeah- let’s rocket to the moon 🤘🚀🌖!
Hi there, I filed a defamation lawsuit in September against Gripped Publishing:

Ahh so glad you figured yourself out too 🙌🌈🧠! Totally understand- thank the world for sports and routine! Running and walking multiple times a day and before bed helps calm my brain too. I had to reframe my training in 2025 cause I recognized I was in Autistic burnout, but I’m better now 🔋🕊️.
🎥 600km World Record- Day 3+ when it feels like Groundhog Day 😂🫠.
After yrs of chasing World/American Records, 2025 became a year to recharge 🔋.
Learning I’m Autistic/ADHD has helped me better understand & support myself ✌️.
I’m ready to chase World Records again in 2026 🚀!
Thank you so much 💕! Yasss I see it more with time! I’m a carbon copy of her in sooo many ways. I have a bit of our Dad’s spitfire 😂🔥, but our Mom is calm, quiet tenacity, and glows 💖. She’s wonderful. I’m grateful for our parents and soaking in all their wisdom 🤗.
Our sweet Momma ❤️! She went into labor on Christmas Eve and had me just after midnight- the first baby born in Norman on Christmas Day in 1981 🎉. Mom says I was happy baby, and our great-grandma nicknamed me Smiley 😄.
Thank you for the birthday wishes 💕. Bless you all 🙏!
I had the opportunity to share my full truth, uninterrupted, on the HPRS Podcast with John Lacroix. We covered the past two years, my whistleblowing, justice sensitivity, neurodivergence, & mission to make our sport safer and more inclusive.

Spot the Autistic person on the plane 😂💃.
Learning I’m AuDHD last yr helped me understand why stimming/fidgeting a lot helps keeps me regulated when traveling. Music, water, snacks, and space to move help calm my nervous system.
If you see someone stimming, let them be 🌈🧠.
