This Week: It’s Hot Out

I am back again with another newsletter-style blog post! I’ll be honest: these are pretty easy to write and force me to reflect on what I’ve been up to and thinking about. I joke that my short term memory is trash so I like forcing myself to think about the past week or so. I’ve… Continue reading

This Week: As a Newsletter

I’ve been reading a lot of newsletters lately. It’s sort of comical to me how casual newsletters and Substack are basically just… blogs. Don’t get me wrong – I love it! I am a big fan of reading relatively short-form blog-style posts. Somehow it is more interesting (and often inspirational) to me than watching a… Continue reading

Values-Based (Time) Spending
The other morning Patrick and I went to the climbing gym before work. I actually woke up just before my 5:30 am alarm and was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t immediately fall back asleep. I can’t tell you how many times Patrick and I have discussed going to the climbing gym in the AM, only… Continue reading

Turkey Burger Attempt #2 – To the Griddle

Howdy! How’s the weather where you are? Here in NoVA it is hot hot hot and I love it. I am coming to you (late) with another turkey burger attempt! Two weekends ago I decided to give it another shot. The weather was sort of cool and gray, so I decided to forgo the grill… Continue reading

Tailgating: A Photo Series

There is nothing I love more on earth than a beautiful trail run followed by tailgating like bums at the trailhead. The best days for tailgating are when it’s sunny and warm, but not too hot. Although, tailgating is appropriate year round. You’ve just got to change up what kind of snacks you’re packing! For… Continue reading

Five Things – 4/12/24

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic week. I spent the beginning of this week on PTO in Florida, lounging beachside. Patrick was there for a work conference so I tagged along for vacation. The weather was not the best, but I still managed to read an entire book while I was there… Continue reading

Short Mountain Shenanigans

We are only six weeks out from MMT 100, people! SIX WEEKS. I signed up for this race in October and have been training since then. I can’t believe it’s practically around the corner. I did some big training runs on the course this winter which was a huge help in feeling prepared for what’s… Continue reading

Turkey Burger Attempt #1

Hello and happy April! This weekend was full of fun errands and time outside and I am exhausted – in a very good way. The weather was variable with some sunshine but mostly gray, overcast days. On Saturday, Patrick and I went to the farmer’s market and a new Parisian bakery. The sun was out… Continue reading

My 5-9 Before My 9-5
The ‘My 5-9 Before My 9-5’ trend has been a relatively viral video concept on Instagram lately and I enjoy it. Obviously, much of what we see online is curated to make people’s lives seem perfect, but I do love to peek into people’s lives regardless. I do not have the patience to record myself,… Continue reading
