Nothing to lose or everything to gain
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. However, I do not love the perpetual rejection I've faced since… Continue reading Nothing to lose or everything to gain

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
On Wednesday, April 12th the Boston adventure began. I woke up before 4 am to go to the airport so I could fly to New Jersey to run the Boston Marathon. This made very little sense to all of the strangers I felt obliged to make awkward small talk with in the airport. I just let… Continue reading 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

Life post marathon
Since I ran the Philadelphia Marathon, 12 days ago, I have run 1 time. I ran 4 miles last Saturday night at a group trail run.

Back on the “right” side of the country
I am finally back home in New Jersey, on the right side of the country! 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. I've been home since around 2:00AM Saturday morning. The… Continue reading Back on the “right” side of the country
Home is on the horizon
My time in California is rapidly coming to an end. I will be flying back home on Friday.
