fall
I am feeling inspired to write right now. It's fall, it's cross-country season and it is the third cross-country season that I am spending far away from home and far away from a job I loved. This year is different though. It's full of hope and possibility and more fulfilling coaching opportunities than I've had… Continue reading fall
The Road Less Run Turns 5!
5 years later...... I am about a week late celebrating my blog's birthday. I've been so focused and consumed with marathon training the last two months that nothing else has been a high priority. Training has been going really well, but it took a nagging pain in my hamstring/groin the last two days to force… Continue reading The Road Less Run Turns 5!
Feeling Disconnected
Lately I have been feeling disconnected from myself. I haven't been making time to write and as a result my brain feels like a hurricane blew through it and then someone picked up the wreckage as quickly as possible, shoved it in a shed, forced the door shut, and then ran away without looking back.… Continue reading Feeling Disconnected

Lost and exploring
The last few weeks I've been having an ongoing, complex, internal conversation with myself that just won't end. I have no idea what I want to do with my life. The ideas I had and the goals I set just don't seem right anymore. Ever since I graduated in June I've been feeling a bit… Continue reading Lost and exploring
The 10 year challenge
I'm a few weeks behind on internet trends. A few weeks ago I was seeing posts all over the internet talking about the 10 year challenge (#tenyearchallenge or #10yearchallenge). If you are behind on internet trends like I sometimes am, the 10 year challenge is basically a side by side comparison of a photo of… Continue reading The 10 year challenge

Moving, again & running when I can
I haven't blogged the last 2 months because I have been extremely busy moving. If you remember, two years ago around this time Phil and I were packing up our house in New Jersey to move across the country to Colorado.
