I’m here today to break down what goes into a summer trail run. Notice I’ve left out the word ‘successful’. … Continue reading

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

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

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

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

this week #34
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

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
