Anything can happen on any given day. Moving to Colorado has been a dream come true while simultaneously presenting me with new obstacles each day. I love the mountains, the fresh air, the beautiful places to run, and the small town where we live.

The Boston Marathon Part 1: traveling to New Jersey, The Real World apartment, selling Sparkly Soul Headbands, and everything else that has nothing to do with actually running the marathon

People often refer to the west coast as the left coast but I've never heard people refer to the east coast as the right coast, so I am trying it out here.
