this week #16
Happy Hump Day! How’s the week treating you? Today I decided to do my easy run during lunch and it felt amazing to get out of the office. 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

this week #14
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

products that rock!
Hey! So I’m on my way to school at the moment and I decided to write this! First off, I’m not really a materialistic person. I don’t like to spend big money unless it’s for adventures (plane tickets, bungee jumping, etc) or tri stuff (running shoes, bike, tri suit). However, I’ve been reading a few… Continue reading

Greenbelt Adventure Run
Holy guacamole guys. I just had so much fun! Yesterday I headed to the Greenbelt here in ATX for a trail run, but I was getting eaten up by mosquitoes so I called it quits after only 1.8 miles. So today I headed there again covered head to toe in sunscreen and bug spray (welcome… Continue reading

Endorphin High!
Yo wazzup! Remember that time I was freaking out about my running? 😉 Well, I mentioned that I should pay more attention to my mile splits and blah blah blah. Today I went on a run and did exactly the opposite. I didn’t track it whatsoever. I just listened to the music on my phone.… Continue reading

Running Woes
I’m getting confused. My running has been all over the place lately. During running class I can crank out 8:15 min/miles. I ran with my dad last weekend and I felt chatty , using little effort, and completely nonwinded during a 5K at 9:40 min/miles. And yet, when I go out to run by myself… Continue reading
