2025 Richmond Marathon Recap
What a weekend! Another successful Richmond Marathon in the books: I PR’d by 14 minutes! With my recent 50k, that makes two PRs in two weeks. I’m stoked.

I Deleted Instagram!
…Just the app. For now. If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you are aware of the fact that I have attempted to reduce my screen time many, many times. I’ve used app limits with varying levels of success. I’ve even considered buying a Brick or an Opal subscription to cut off my Instagram Continue reading

Five Running Tips
Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a relaxing day with glorious fall weather. I sure am. We slept in a bit, and then headed to our local park to get some trail miles in. I was a bit fatigued from my tempo run yesterday so I took it easy, enjoyed the changing leaves, and Continue reading
