Running Diary: A Rainy Week
Oops! Somehow a whole week went by and I didn’t even realize. We had a lot of rain this week, which thwarted some of the scheduling for running. Despite some workweek exhaustion and the crappy weather, it turned into a pretty great week of training and I am looking forward to kicking off our training… Continue reading

Running Diary: PTO, baby!
Hello and happy Monday! I am slowly catching up on work today as I took Thursday and Friday off last week. It was so nice to leisurely do things around the house, run errands, and be a little bit of a tourist. My brain needed the reset. Our beautiful cooler temperatures are gone here in… Continue reading

Running Diary: A Long One!

Hello, I’m back! I totally neglected this last week and so I have two weeks worth of training to share. Training has been challenging lately, but I am grateful for the opportunity to do it.

Hello there
Well, hot dang, it has been a MINUTE. I’ve been wanting to write here for quite some time, but I think WordPress is no longer compatible with Google Chrome or something. I haven’t had the brain power to jump over to Safari to write, so instead I just went MIA for 7 months. Those 7… Continue reading

pleasant observations
I don’t know about you, but I’m having one of those “oh my god get me out of quarantine” kinds of days. These days normally creep up on me when I feel overwhelmed with all of the non-quarantine related stressors in my life. Although, between working and my internship and the wedding and job hunting… Continue reading
