Summer Running Reflections
This has been a whacky summer of running. I’ve been pretty consistent, but also rolling with the punches and adapting when life takes a turn. It has also been the hottest and most humid summer I can remember since moving to Virginia, which sucks and has made running really hard at times. The first half… Continue reading

A Superb Weekend
My niece Clara came to town this weekend and it was a lovely time. Her trip was timed just right to experience an unusually cool and pleasant August weekend here in Virginia.

I’m reminded of being in high school, counting down the days until the weekend, psyched about the prospect of a Friday afternoon and few days off school. Next week is a busy work week so I really focused to get stuff done… Continue reading

Well, life continues on, doesn’t it? It’s a weird thing to have felt such loss last week and then you just… continue. I miss Bear and always will, and I don’t think I am done crying yet, but for now I am so grateful he’s at peace and that we still have Alaska to love… Continue reading

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
