Sooo, it’s really been a week (plus some), hasn’t it?! Wow. How’s everyone doing? I woke up at 1:30 am on Wednesday, November 6, checked the news, and then couldn’t fall asleep for an hour because history was repeating itself and I felt sick. When I woke up again at 6:30, the race had officially… Continue reading

Hello and happy Monday! It’s going to be quite the week, isn’t it? I never got around to writing one of these last week, so I figured I’d get a head start this week. Is anyone else on the verge of an absolute meltdown? DC is sort of a ghost town right now. Driving into… Continue reading

There are a lot of articles out there on how to make habits. Like, a lot. There’s scientific research on habit formation, there’s expansion on habits versus routines, there’s step by step guides on making micro-changes in your life, and so on and so forth. It all seems pretty interesting and useful and slightly intense.… Continue reading

Good morning and happy Friday! How’s your week been? It’s nearly Halloween and I have no idea what I am going to wear. I need to make a trip to Spirit Halloween to peruse their options. I’ve not really dressed up for Halloween in the past (too much work), so I am looking forward to… Continue reading

A Year of Running

It’s not even November and I already can’t believe all the running I’ve done this year. 2024 really has been the year of races and big running and seeing what my body can do. In the past I’ve stuck with maybe doing one or two races a year and I was never really racing. I… Continue reading

Happy Hump Day! How’s the week treating you? Today I decided to do my easy run during lunch and it felt amazing to get out of the office. It’s another beautiful day (aka long sleeve and shorts running weather), my route was new and fascinating, and I felt like I was on a vacation run-exploring… Continue reading

It’s a beautiful week here in Arlington and I am overjoyed. It gets downright chilly overnight, people are putting up more Halloween decorations, and I put pumpkin whipped cream in my coffee this morning. Can’t really complain over here. Now that it properly feels like fall, I am feeling myself get more excited about all… Continue reading

Happy Friday! I hope you had a good week. This feels like the perfect weekend to do a Halloween craft or bake a fall-themed snack or dessert. I don’t think I’ve shared this here, but I hired a coach to get me through the Richmond Marathon and then to train me for MMT again next… Continue reading

focusing can be hard
Happy October, everyone! It’s officially spooky season and I am loving it. Lots of gray and rain here (I think from Hurricane Helene) but nothing major at all. On Monday I worked from home and sat at my desk with the windows open. It was cool out, the light wasn’t too harsh, and I steadily… Continue reading

Hi everybody! What a week. I feel inspired and sleepy and chill all at once. This week has felt unusually long! We got home from Richmond after midnight on Monday and then it has been go go go since then. I’m really looking forward to some downtime this weekend to run, clean the house, and… Continue reading
