Summer has not yet begun, but hydration is important any time of the year. Besides, if you live in the kind of climate I do, it’s going to be summer from now until October! No matter what the weather is like, if you’re like me, you sweat a lot when you run. I see and • Read More »
It seems like a lot of people are on a planner kick right now. Pretty planners, colored pens, and stickers are really popular. Maybe I’m just late to the bandwagon, but I’ve only recently noticed it! I’ve always been terrible about writing things down, but it has really been helping me organize my thoughts lately. • Read More »
So…as you can see from my lack of updates, there hasn’t been much to report. My allergies have been kicking my butt this year, to the point where strenuous exercise is hard.

Today was my long run! I still have days that I struggle (or sometimes even moments of struggle wrapped up in the good days), but I am getting better all the time. Today I ran 4.69 miles, with a 12.1 min/mile pace. I am up to a 3 min run/1 min walk ratio. This is • Read More »
Today was my long run day (5.97 miles, 12.1 min/mile). 10K training is progressing a lot more quickly than I expected. I am feeling confident (most of the time) that I will be prepared for my first 10K in a few months! Now it’s time to share the next five songs from my running playlist! • Read More »
A couple of months ago, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Heather for her website, HalfSizeMe.com. For those of you who know my story, you can imagine what a huge step this was for me. I can’t begin to tell you how honored I was to be asked and how excited I am • Read More »
