November Coffee Date

I am just so sneaking this feature in on the last day of November. It is the rise of the holiday rush right now so things are picking up with work, with training and socially. Everything all at once. This time of year can get a little crazy so let’s catch up and I’ll chatter… Read More…

September Coffee Date

September Coffee Date

It was JUST summer but I am finally acknowledging that as September is closing out that fall is here and it is here to stay. I have some really exciting things planned for fall so I am not mad about it, I just am annoyed with the cold. So let’s get a hot cup of… Read More…

Half Marathon Series: Post Race

Aug16

Half Marathon Series: Post Race

So you have just crossed the finish line to your half marathon. Now what? At the race: For me, the first thing I do is grab some water or gatorade. No matter how much hydration you are syphoning down during the race, there is a high likelihood that you are dehydrated. I need to watch… 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…

Weekend Recap: An Ode to Sunday

Nov19

This weekend, I was thinking a lot about downtime. As Jesse dropped me off after a friend’s birthday party on Saturday night, I asked him (with a day of work, tutoring and writing behind me) “Guess what we are doing tomorrow?” “What?” he asked, with exhaustion and a clear tinge of irritation in his voice… Read More…

Aka My Happy Place

May17

Aka My Happy Place

Last night was a revolutionary one for Jesse. We were finishing up his birthday dinner and he mentioned he had gotten a few texts re: his birthday post. I hauled out my laptop and let him read what I wrote. At first, he was touched. He quickly moved on to…”Wait…how much do you write about me… Read More…

Do I have a sign on my forehead?

Mar9

Do I have a sign on my forehead?

I have made a triumphant return back to the snow, multiple jobs and neglected essays. And I can tell you, it was hardly a graceful one. The day of my return, I strode to the airline baggage department, picked up my luggage that never had left the airport and had an uneventful flight home in… Read More…

My Lifestyle

May4

I have always been slightly envious of my sister. She is beautiful, strong, smart and healthy- and she has never, ever mistreated her body and only treated it with care. She has always eaten exactly what she wants, but remains active and healthy. I, on the other hand, have not always treated my body with… Read More…
