This is Water: Life after University

This is Water: Life after University

Good morning! Congratulations on making it through yet another week of your life! Was it worthwhile? Was it full of adventures or did it feel on the mundane, 9-5, grocery shopping and bills, sleep-eat-work-repeat side of things? I am not about to launch into a public service announcement, but I do want to think about… Read More…

June Goal Check-in and 5 More for July

June Goal Check-in and 5 More for July

Happy Holiday Monday, everyone! It is crazy to believe that we are already into the summer, but I am determined to soak up every bit of it! Right now, I am most likely on a beach or running the trails; soaking up, indeed! The beginning of every month is also a time to check in… Read More…

And frankly, with the amount of blood I lost, I really don’t want to know…

This past week, I had some pretty invasive dental surgery that I flippantly cancelled to go on the 100 Mile Trek in April. It was under the florescent lights, scalpel on the tray and syringe full of chemicals to freeze my gums that I admitted to the doctor why I bailed on the first surgery… Read More…

Where do old shoes go when they die?

Where do old shoes go when they die?

Being a runner translates into a lot of running shoes. I need my minimalist shoes for short distances, my track spikes for XC races, my supportive training shoes, my trail shoes, etc. And considering I try to swap them out approximately every 400-600 miles, it can feel as if I am buying shoes constantly. The… Read More…

The Worst Job Interview…ever

The Worst Job Interview…ever

I like to view Fridays as an opportunity to go a bit off topic. I want to talk about something that everyone need to go through at some point in their life, especially the newly graduated. The Job Interview.  Instead of compiling a list of DOs and DON’Ts, I thought I would sum everything up… Read More…

There has to be a reason

There has to be a reason

One of the best things about running is the people you meet along the way. I find that long distance running collects a certain breed of human – one who is able to hang tight with pain over a long period of time, slightly addicted to endorphins and in general, optimistic. One of the most incredible… Read More…

I hope this doesn’t sound as sad, nerdy and Type A as it is.

I hope this doesn’t sound as sad, nerdy and Type A as it is.

So, I fell off the goal making wagon. I really can explain. For those of you who have just started following my blog, I make new goals for each month to try and be intentional about my yearly goals. The only thing missing is a spreadsheet. I hope this doesn’t sound as sad, nerdy and… Read More…

The Marrow of Life

The Marrow of Life

Today, I am turning 24. And I am ready for it. Even though the year of being 23 was the fastest year so far of my life. I blinked and I am at another birthday. But yesterday was a beautiful day, I had the afternoon off and I did something I never have done before:… Read More…

What is unique about this sponsorship is that it carries a message – everyone with a fitness goal can join this and I want to… Read More…

100 Miles of Wild Recap

A big thank you to all of you were so patient as I pressed a giant reset button and took a few weeks off of blogging to go on the Trek and get organized when I returned. This past Friday night, I spent that majority of the evening unpacking, organizing and going over the financial… Read More…
