goodbye, July!
You guys, it’s August. Can you even believe it?! I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. As previously mentioned, this summer has been chockful of travel and adventures and fun (and bouts of illness), so it has sped by in all the best ways. Fortunately, I still don’t feel myself urging fall to… Continue reading

West Virginia Weekend
Another summer weekend away from home! I am loving it. This season has been jam-packed with all kinds of travel and activities. I’m not complaining! This weekend’s edition was a slightly spontaneous trip to (my favorite place) West Virginia. A few weeks back, Derek texted us asking if we all wanted to go to West… Continue reading

this week #66
Hi! It’s been a minute. I finally started feeling better after two weeks of illness, and then I hit the ground running. At the same time, Patrick started feeling sick a solid 10 days after I would’ve initially infected him. Sleep was not pretty last week. Patrick was coughing up a storm and Alaska was… Continue reading

In my cycling era…
Remember when I said I was going to start riding more and maybe even bike commute to work? Well, I’m doing it! Way, way earlier this year (or maybe even in December), I registered for a gravel grinder at the end of June. I chose the short course, which is only 23.8 miles, but it… Continue reading

Falling Water 100k Race Recap!
You guys, I did it! I rounded out my spring racing season with Falling Water 100k in the beautiful New River Gorge of West Virginia! Long story short, it was super fun and also hard. I had set a random goal of 16 hours and ended up finishing just under 17. I am so good… Continue reading

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

this week #58
Whew, life has been busy lately! I’ve been meaning to sit down and write for a while, but haven’t had the time or energy with so much else going on. Have you heard that we might get a proper winter storm this weekend? I’m hoping so! I wouldn’t mind skipping a long run and sitting… Continue reading
