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

A Few Days in the Life
Happy Monday! We had the most gorgeous day today and I could not be happier. I’m a little embarrassed to share this because I should’ve worn sunscreen, but I have a minor sunburn! That’s how you know spring is on its way. I simply could not stay indoors today. Anyway, I’ve been slacking at sitting… Continue reading

snaps from life
I opened the curtains before I sat down to have lunch on Friday. It was a beautiful and sunny day, I had made a delicious lunch, and I was looking forward to enjoying a break from work. I ended up snapping a photo of my lunch because the light was just right and it was… Continue reading

A Photo Essay from a Whirlwind Week
Howdy! Last week I spent almost the entire week in Orlando, FL. I flew in on a Saturday for a Sunday-Tuesday work meeting and then Patrick joined me Tuesday night for shenanigans and fun before we flew home early Friday morning. I took a work call Friday afternoon and I felt so unglued from time.… Continue reading

Whatever it may be, I’m excited for the weekend. I’m not having a bad week whatsoever, but… Continue reading

Things I’m Considering
I have had all sorts of ideas and thoughts circulating in my head lately, but no real umph to make decisions or execute on any of them. This is unusual for me as I normally pride myself on being a very decisive, action-oriented person. The current list in my head isn’t all that important though!… Continue reading

Once a Week Bike Ride
A few weeks ago, we visited Elkins, WV. A town… without much going on, BUT surrounded by a ton of sweet, rustic rail trails. Perfect for a beautiful, fall bike ride or bikecamping trip. We rode a few miles on the West Fork Rail Trail and I loved it. Also, it was hard and my… Continue reading

Wild and Wonderful West Virginia Weekend
It might already be Thursday but I am still thinking about this weekend. We drove out to West Virginia on Friday for the long weekend and I took Tuesday off to extend things. We changed it up this year and went to Elkins, WV, a significantly less touristy town than Davis or Thomas. Our Airbnb… Continue reading

Hello and happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I had a wonderful weekend. It was fun and active and adventurous, and now I am having one of those Mondays where sitting at a desk with a big cup of coffee doesn’t feel half bad. Can you believe it’s going to be October this… Continue reading
