this week #59
Hi from my bed! I’ve been trying to spend more time sitting still and chilling out this week. So far, so good. I keep myself entertained with reading and YouTube, but today I figured I’d pop in for a life update! It’s been a minute since I’ve written one of these anyway. Here’s what I’ve… Continue reading

Long Run Dispatch
We are less than one week out from Cabin Fever 5ok, you guys. I am in disbelief. How are we halfway through February?! How am I going to run through snow and mud and slush?! It should be… interesting. Make no mistake, I am excited! I love the area of West Virginia that we’ll be… Continue reading

A Photo Essay from a Whirlwind Week
Howdy! Last week I spent almost the entire week in Orlando, FL. I flew in on a Saturday for a Sunday-Tuesday work meeting and then Patrick joined me Tuesday night for shenanigans and fun before we flew home early Friday morning.

Happy Monday! We are coming off a really fun, though unexpected, weekend celebrating Erica’s birthday. We rented an Airbnb that was pretty off the grid in central Virginia for Friday-Sunday.

Good morning, and happy Saturday! I slept in and am chilling on the couch before I eventually get around to doing my run for the day. After a few nights of staying up late, I needed it. Not to mention, it’s freezing outside. I am in no rush to get out there! It’s been a… Continue reading

an honest self-reflection
Heads up: this is going to be a stream of consciousness, but I need to work something out. Over the last few months, I have felt pulled in a million different directions by a million different things and people. Most of these people/commitments/events/things are good (very good!) but have added stress into my life in… Continue reading
