this week #46
Life continues to be busy and I am trying to use any extra time I can to get my life together so that I can sleep as much as possible each night! I do not want to fall off of writing here while I’m managing my time and energy, so I am going to stick… Continue reading

this week #45
Good morning and happy Monday! Last week was a busy week. I started my new job, and I got back to running after being sick. Between the two, I was mentally and physically exhausted by the time Friday rolled around. Fortunately, this weekend was extremely fun and restorative (+ we’re getting massages tonight), so I… Continue reading

Summer Running Reflections
This has been a whacky summer of running. I’ve been pretty consistent, but also rolling with the punches and adapting when life takes a turn. It has also been the hottest and most humid summer I can remember since moving to Virginia, which sucks and has made running really hard at times. The first half… 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

Half Formed Thoughts
I’ve had a topic that I’ve wanted to write about all week. It’s been a half formed idea that’s been floating around in my brain since last weekend but, every time I sit down to write, my brain fizzles out and can’t muster up quite enough power to make it happen. Maybe because this week… Continue reading

A Year of Running
It’s not even November and I already can’t believe all the running I’ve done this year. 2024 really has been the year of races and big running and seeing what my body can do. In the past I’ve stuck with maybe doing one or two races a year and I was never really racing. I… 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

Breaking the rules…
Yo! I am mere minutes away from leaving for a two hour drive for my triathlon tomorrow! I don’t know if I’ll have time to write tonight, so I’ll fill you in now: This is NOT the half Ironman I’ve been training for. This is a quarter distance Ironman, so the distances are 1000m swim,… Continue reading

September Sunday //
Happy Sunday 🙂 Mine has been fairly low-key, yet so so productive. I woke up, had breakfast, went on a kickbutt 30 mile ride, showered and had lunch, and now I’m at Coffee Bean doing homework until my shift starts. I’m outside on the patio because the weather is still so unbelievably amazing. I can’t… Continue reading

Summer Recap
Hey hey! Here I am, drinking my first pumpkin latte of the season and I’m feeling festive. 🙂 Today I thought back to how phenomenal my summer was; surely the best one yet. So, to celebrate the unofficial beginning of autumn, I’ve decided to make a list of my summer adventures! In chronological order (mostly):… Continue reading
