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

My Half Marathon PR!
I did it! I broke my half marathon PR yesterday! I am still so excited and so ridiculously sore. I set my original PR in February 2014 at the Austin Half Marathon. I was expecting to run 10:30 min/miles and just had the time of my life and ran 9:33 min/miles instead! The exact time… Continue reading

This Week: Fall?!
I cannot even believe I am writing this but WOW the weather has been beautiful in Arlington this week. I know that it’s False Fall and warmer temps will be back next week, but for now I am enjoying evenings on the front porch in a sweatshirt. Yeah, it has been that good. I know… Continue reading

This Week: Gotcha Day!
Folks, I am tired. My body has been achy and sore, I’ve been sleeping in far more this week, and I generally feel a little run down and worn out. I think it may have something to do with the increased pollen counts this week because I otherwise don’t feel sick or bad. Just totally… Continue reading

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

A Few Words
Y’all. In the recent months I’ve noticed that my vocabulary has improved. I credit it to reading, listening to more podcasts, and generally paying more attention to the words I hear throughout daily life. Sometimes I’ll be speaking and will stun myself with a word choice! I had no clue I could even use that… Continue reading

This Week: Slow Summer Vibes

Hi! I cannot believe it’s almost August. This summer has been so sweet. As a matter of fact, I have some oat crumble strawberry bars in the oven right now and I might make some banana muffins too. I’ll let you know how they taste! While July is nearly over, time hasn’t felt rushed and… Continue reading

Self Check Ins

Hi! I’m not sure what’s got me feeling so inspired to write this week but I’m enjoying it. I’ve been reading some older blogs and I guess it just reminded me of how fun it is to read someone else’s thoughts and glimpse into their lives without Instagram. Today’s stream of consciousness is somewhat of… Continue reading
