Running, cats & coffee.
Last weekend I ran the Grand River Gallop, the 2nd race in the local race series I'm participating in. For those of you who remember, I ran the Grand River Gallop last year too.

After I ran the Sequoia Glen 5k I came home and finished packing for an 8 hour road trip to Las Vegas. My trip to Las Vegas was somewhat serendipitous and I love serendipitous events! Next month my friend Jessica and I are running a REVEL half marathon at Mt. Charleston in Las Vegas. We haven't… Continue reading A Las Vegas Running Adventure
After being injured for the latter part of 2017 I've been slowly increasing my mileage. Things have been going well and I've been scoping out races to run as a baseline while knowing that my fitness isn't where I'd like it to be.

I've been coming back from an injury with a steady increase in weekly mileage for the last month. I started counting weekly mileage again at the end of December and logged just over 10 miles for the week! I was thrilled! Now, 4 weeks later I've run a 20 mile week. Once again I'm thrilled!… Continue reading Progress is admitting you aren’t invincible
I've been running consistently for a few weeks now and my achilles is feeling almost normal. To clarify, my current definition of consistent running is slow and steady. Once my achilles stopped hurting 24/7 and I was able to walk without pain I did a few 1 mile runs. In mid December I began with… Continue reading Never Quit

In the past I've written about setting goals rather than resolutions because I think setting a properly structured goal is much more effective than just resolving to do something, or not do something.
