Summer Bucket List – 2025 Edition
I’ve written many bucket/general aspiration/goal lists on this blog over the years. [Running bucket list, Spring 2025, Fall 2024, Summer 2024, 2023 Aspirations, 2022 Aspirations – to name a few!] I absolutely love writing them and reflecting on what is exciting or inspiring to me… even if I rarely end up actually marking things off… Continue reading

food and running, what’s new?!
I haven’t taken the time to sit down to write in a bit, but I did capture a few random photos from various happenings over the last week! We got back from Grand Cayman late on Monday, so I had a short week at work but it still felt oddly long. Last night I was… Continue reading

this week #37
Oops, I missed a week! I would apologize but I was busy celebrating my 30th and then flying down to the Cayman Islands for a long weekend with Patrick. Rough life, right?! I’m honestly in disbelief that it’s June already. Not in a “where has the time gone?!” kind of way, but in a “I… Continue reading

30 Truths on my 30th Birthday
It’s my birthday today! Yay! I’ve always loved my birthday. It’s normally a lovely day weather-wise and May 28 just sounds like a great day. Today it’s cool and gray and rainy, but I don’t mind. I start a new decade today, too. I can’t believe I’m 30! I’m stoked. I’m just getting started. For… Continue reading

MMT 100 Recap – Best DNF Yet
Well, I didn’t run the whole 100 miles of MMT – yet again! Dang flabbit! However, I am extremely proud of the progress I made, both mentally and physically, from my 2024 to 2025 attempts. I DNF’d at mile 76, 28 hours into the race as I missed the cutoff into the next aid station!… Continue reading

Hi, I’m back! I took the week off before MMT and am now trudging through the late-onset exhaustion hitting me many days post-race. Long story short, I still didn’t get to the finish, but I did make it 76 miles! I am incredibly proud. Once my brain fog is actually gone I want to write… Continue reading

this week #35
Happy Friday! What a weird week. It was a good week all around, and it felt very long, but I also felt like I didn’t have much free time in my days. Especially shocking considering I only ran twice this week! Yesterday felt so much like a Friday that I think that confused me further… Continue reading

Last Long Run!
This is going to basically be a photo series because, my god, the trails were gorgeous this weekend. This past weekend was my last long run before MMT in 12 days. I am officially tapering! YAY! I had 30 miles Saturday and 15 on Sunday (though I cut that short to 10), and I am… Continue reading

A Really Good, Truly Fantastic Weekend
Happy Tuesday! I have to say right off the bat: I had a really fun weekend. It was full and busy and I was tired by the end of it, but it was just a blast. Let’s get into it. Friday afternoon I finally tried my hand at arranging a bouquet of flowers! I bought… Continue reading

this week #33
It is a beautiful week here in Virginia! The sun is shining, the temps are just right, and everything’s so green. I love it. Is there anything better than opening up the blinds to a gloriously bright day in the morning?! I think not. It’s been a very fun week and this weekend should be… Continue reading
