Hi! My proud weekly posting has fallen to the wayside over the last few months, but I am back and better than ever. Between running and Italian class and work and PATC volunteering I have been busy busy busy. And my big race is in 10 days! Crazy how time flies when you’re having fun.… Continue reading

miles on miles on miles
You guys! I am tapering!!! Wahoo! I can’t believe Rim to River is a few short weeks away. I’ve spent this training cycle trying to be as low key as possible about this race to ensure I didn’t freak myself out. I had such success this spring being so low maintenance about all my races,… Continue reading

a very great weekend of running
I am happy to report that I had a much needed, confidence boosting weekend of training! If it hasn’t been obvious enough on the blog, I have been whine whine whining about training throughout the summer. The conditions have been horrible, I’m constantly dehydrated, my skin is chafing in new and cruel ways, and I… Continue reading

Happy September! I know it’s not technically fall, but I’d love for Virginia to start reading the room and cool down. I don’t even need drastically lower temps – just cut us some slack with the humidity! Sheesh. Life has been nice for the last few weeks. I’ll do a light sprinkling of some random… Continue reading

As previously mentioned, this summer has been chockful of travel and adventures and fun (and bouts of illness), so it has sped by in all the best ways. Fortunately, I still don’t feel myself urging fall to… Continue reading

this week #67
Hello from a very smokey Arlington! Wildfire smoke from Canada has descended onto our area and it is horrific outside. Last time I checked, the AQI was over 230. I could tell it’d be bad from the moment I opened our shutters this morning and the light wasn’t quite right. Nonetheless, I’ve had a pretty… Continue reading

West Virginia Weekend
Another summer weekend away from home! I am loving it. This season has been jam-packed with all kinds of travel and activities. I’m not complaining! This weekend’s edition was a slightly spontaneous trip to (my favorite place) West Virginia. A few weeks back, Derek texted us asking if we all wanted to go to West… Continue reading

I arrived in Bentonville on Thursday night and each day basically went like this: Leisurely morning Ride bikes Have post-ride coffee Go out to lunch Find a body of water to… Continue reading

this week #66
Hi! It’s been a minute. I finally started feeling better after two weeks of illness, and then I hit the ground running. At the same time, Patrick started feeling sick a solid 10 days after I would’ve initially infected him. Sleep was not pretty last week. Patrick was coughing up a storm and Alaska was… Continue reading
