this week #22
Happy snow day! The winter storm sweeping parts of America finally reached us last night and so far we’ve gotten about 7 inches of snow! It is so cozy and pleasant. This morning I peeked outside to check on the snowfall and the Christmas lights made everything look extra beautiful. This weekend was freezing too, Continue reading

Merry almost Christmas! Wow wow wow, how this month has flown by! I was basically traveling for two weeks (for work and then for fun) and it sure did eat up much of December. I am excited for Christmas and the new year, though. How are you hanging in? I was just telling Patrick that Continue reading

Hello and happy Wednesday! I missed doing this last week, but can you blame me? It’s been busy! I ran the Richmond Marathon this weekend with Erica and it was a blast. The weather was truly 10/10. Patrick ran the half marathon in a blazing time of 1:33. I can’t even fathom it! All in Continue reading

It’s another beautiful day (aka long sleeve and shorts running weather), my route was new and fascinating, and I felt like I was on a vacation run-exploring Continue reading

Happy Friday! I hope you had a good week. This feels like the perfect weekend to do a Halloween craft or bake a fall-themed snack or dessert. I don’t think I’ve shared this here, but I hired a coach to get me through the Richmond Marathon and then to train me for MMT again next Continue reading

A Running Diary
You know what’s funny? When I first started this blog I wrote about my running a lot. It wasn’t intentional and this wasn’t a running blog, but I did so much of it and it was such an escape to me that I ended up thinking and writing about it a lot. Over the years Continue reading

thoughts for the week

Good morning and happy Monday! I don’t know why, but I felt inspired to show up here today. I had a wonderful, running-filled, outdoorsy weekend and now I am feeling tired but very happy. It took a while for me to get out of bed (I was just so comfy), but a couple of cups Continue reading
