This Week: Busy Again

Hi! How’s it going? Life is fun over here. Things are getting busier, but in a good way. Running, lifting, seeing friends, decorating for fall, reading books – all of the good stuff. The weather here has been beautiful lately, so most of my free moments are spent sitting on our front steps just reveling… Continue reading

This Week: Hello, September!

I cannot believe it’s already September! August felt long and short all at once, but don’t all months feel that way? Here in Arlington we’ve had a brief break in the humid, summery weather and I think we’re all holding our breaths in hopes that the cooler temps will stick around. Regardless, it’s exciting that… Continue reading

This was the first summer that I ever consistently wore a bikini. I wore it to the pool, I wore it to the beach, and I did my best to do so confidently and without hesitation. Sometimes, when deciding between my nice one piece and the bikini, I could feel myself begin a small spiral. … Continue reading

This Week: Just Chilling

After a successful weekend, I am happy to announce that I am just chilling out this week. No running. No lifting. Just very gentle yoga and lounging around. I worried that I would get antsy, but I guess I put in enough of an effort that my body and brain both feel pleased to just… Continue reading

This Week: Gotcha Day!

An Ode to Sunscreen
We have a lot of sunscreen in our house. And in our car. And in various running/cycling gear bags. I wear face sunscreen every single day and absolutely do not get my day started without ensuring I have some sort of SPF on! The older I get the more I’ve realized that protecting your skin… Continue reading

This Week: Olympics Olympics Olympics

I can’t explain it but this has been the longest week ever. The weather has been a mixture of rainy and hot and humid, I had plans on a few weeknights, and I shifted my running around a bit so my routine was a little out of whack. Nonetheless, it’s been a good week! Time… Continue reading
