A Few Fav Books of 2025

You guys, I really like to read. The world is so dark and heavy and reading – bear with me through this cliche – is such an escape! Sorry, not sorry. Also, I love when adults read. Period. As I’ve gotten older, I feel like people sometimes have this weird badge of pride about how Continue reading

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. It rained all day Saturday and then we lost power! And running water! Since we had no service or Internet, and the power didn’t come Continue reading

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

Hello, and happy Monday! I am so tired. I ran a 50k yesterday and then was up early today and daylight savings happened so it’s dark already and whine whine whine. I’m planning to go to the gym this evening to do an easy spin, but I truly think I could fall asleep on the Continue reading

I’m going rogue this week. Instead of following my normal format, I’m going to just go with my gut and update you on random things that I’ve found interesting or new or comforting in my life! Why not?! It’s been a great week so far, even if I have been sleepier than usual. Normally I Continue reading

Happy Tuesday! My goal this week is to tune into summer, enjoy each day, and to fully appreciate each moment of my life. I’ve complained ad nauseum about how this summer has been kicking my ass emotionally, mentally, and physically, and now I am ready to turn things around! We’re going to see the new 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

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
