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

The weather has taken a turn, y’all! The last few days have been sunny, breezy, with highs in the 50s and clear blue skies. I’m in love. It feels like a breath of air after the gray, snowy month we’ve had. I can’t help but get excited for spring and summer and all the good… Continue reading

Good morning and happy Monday! I don’t know why, but I felt inspired to show up here today. I had a wonderful, running-filled, outdoorsy weekend and now I am feeling tired but very happy. It took a while for me to get out of bed (I was just so comfy), but a couple of cups… Continue reading
