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

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

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

Last Long Run!
This is going to basically be a photo series because, my god, the trails were gorgeous this weekend. This past weekend was my last long run before MMT in 12 days. I am officially tapering! YAY! I had 30 miles Saturday and 15 on Sunday (though I cut that short to 10), and I am… Continue reading

IT IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR! May! I’m biased because it is my birthday month, but also the weather is fab, the pool opens, it’s almost summer, and it used to be the last month of school (when I was a kid). What’s not to love?! I hope you’re having a great… Continue reading

A Really Good, Truly Fantastic Weekend
Happy Tuesday! I have to say right off the bat: I had a really fun weekend. It was full and busy and I was tired by the end of it, but it was just a blast. Let’s get into it. Friday afternoon I finally tried my hand at arranging a bouquet of flowers! I bought… Continue reading

It is a beautiful week here in Virginia! The sun is shining, the temps are just right, and everything’s so green. I love it. Is there anything better than opening up the blinds to a gloriously bright day in the morning?! I think not. It’s been a very fun week and this weekend should be… Continue reading

Running… at night!
Kerns and Bird Knob… This weekend’s run was a big one because I had my first true night run! I DNFd the Greenbrier 50 Miler in 2022, a race that started at midnight, after 15 miles, so I have run at night and in the dark but this was my first time really making an… Continue reading

ALLERGIES. That is my word of the week! The pollen count has been slowly growing, and this week it is really real. I thought I had escaped the worst of it, but now I have stuffy ears and a sore throat and generally feel tired in my face – you know what I mean?! Aside… Continue reading
