For Bear
We lost our sweet dog Bear this week unexpectedly, and I’ve never felt grief like this. He was 13.5 years old, and we got to spend the most amazing 8 years with him. His sister Alaska is still with us, and we’re loving on her harder than ever. I want to wax poetic about Bear.… Continue reading

Q2 Check In
Happy summer, officially! Are you in a heat dome? We certainly are. Let me tell you, my new parsley plant does NOT like it. I am going to sound like a broken record for a moment, so bear with me, but how in the world are we already halfway through 2025?! Time is moving differently… Continue reading

this week #38
Let me describe the atmosphere I’m in as I type this: it’s raining (a lot!), my favorite Spotify summer jazz playlist is on softly in the background, and freshly baked chocolate chip zucchini bread is sitting on the stove.

I have a long list of things I’ve been meaning to do. Don’t we all?! Some are small, quick tasks and others are a bit more involved. Some are silly or just for fun and others are actually important and possibly even time sensitive! It’s not that I’ve been intentionally procrastinating, but I keep telling… Continue reading

food and running, what’s new?!
I haven’t taken the time to sit down to write in a bit, but I did capture a few random photos from various happenings over the last week! We got back from Grand Cayman late on Monday, so I had a short week at work but it still felt oddly long. Last night I was… Continue reading

this week #37
Oops, I missed a week! I would apologize but I was busy celebrating my 30th and then flying down to the Cayman Islands for a long weekend with Patrick. Rough life, right?! I’m honestly in disbelief that it’s June already. Not in a “where has the time gone?!” kind of way, but in a “I… Continue reading

It’s my birthday today! Yay! I’ve always loved my birthday. It’s normally a lovely day weather-wise and May 28 just sounds like a great day. Today it’s cool and gray and rainy, but I don’t mind. I start a new decade today, too. I can’t believe I’m 30! I’m stoked. I’m just getting started. For… Continue reading

MMT 100 Recap – Best DNF Yet
Well, I didn’t run the whole 100 miles of MMT – yet again! Dang flabbit! However, I am extremely proud of the progress I made, both mentally and physically, from my 2024 to 2025 attempts. I DNF’d at mile 76, 28 hours into the race as I missed the cutoff into the next aid station!… Continue reading
