goodbye, July!
You guys, it’s August. Can you even believe it?! I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. As previously mentioned, this summer has been chockful of travel and adventures and fun (and bouts of illness), so it has sped by in all the best ways. Fortunately, I still don’t feel myself urging fall to… Continue reading

West Virginia Weekend
Another summer weekend away from home! I am loving it. This season has been jam-packed with all kinds of travel and activities. I’m not complaining! This weekend’s edition was a slightly spontaneous trip to (my favorite place) West Virginia. A few weeks back, Derek texted us asking if we all wanted to go to West… Continue reading

this week #66
Hi! It’s been a minute. I finally started feeling better after two weeks of illness, and then I hit the ground running.

Patrick was coughing up a storm and Alaska was… Continue reading

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful day. It was a weird week over here at Casa Nicolini Mannon. Our sweet dog Alaska had a series of really hard days and we were very concerned. We took her to the vet on Wednesday and she seems to be doing better, but is generally… Continue reading

Happy Monday! Spirits are high, the sun is shining today, and I’m coming off a really fun and beautiful weekend. As I type this, the redbud tree outside our house is blooming with such gorgeously pink flowers, there is a near cloudless sky, and I am going to go on an easy little run later… Continue reading

Hone Quarry 40 Miler Race Recap (2026 Edition)
Another great race weekend in the books! Patrick and I headed out to Harrisonburg on Friday afternoon to gear up for Hone Quarry 40 Miler on Saturday. I did this race last year as a tune up for MMT, so I thought it would work perfectly for the same purpose as I enter my last… Continue reading

Cabin Fever 50k Recap!
Good evening from a very snowy Arlington! I am freshly showered and lounging in bed, very much intending on falling asleep early tonight. We’re closing out a very fun, whirlwind week of travel and big running, and I am pooped. In a good way! Yesterday was the Cabin Fever 50k in New River Gorge National… Continue reading
