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 know I’ve complained a lot about the weather this summer – and I do feel… Continue reading

Things I’ve Been Meaning to Do

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

Summer Bucket List – 2025 Edition

I’ve written many bucket/general aspiration/goal lists on this blog over the years. [Running bucket list, Spring 2025, Fall 2024, Summer 2024, 2023 Aspirations, 2022 Aspirations – to name a few!] I absolutely love writing them and reflecting on what is exciting or inspiring to me… even if I rarely end up actually marking things off… 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

30 Truths on my 30th Birthday

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

this week #36
Hi, I’m back! I took the week off before MMT and am now trudging through the late-onset exhaustion hitting me many days post-race. Long story short, I still didn’t get to the finish, but I did make it 76 miles! I am incredibly proud. Once my brain fog is actually gone I want to write… Continue reading

this week #35
Happy Friday! What a weird week. It was a good week all around, and it felt very long, but I also felt like I didn’t have much free time in my days. Especially shocking considering I only ran twice this week! Yesterday felt so much like a Friday that I think that confused me further… Continue reading
