Last weekend I ran the Cheatin' Woodchuck Chase, the last race in the Grand River Valley Charity Race Series. After the race I drove back home to attend the trail conference we were having here in town. It doesn't come up much on the blog, but I do my best to stay active in our… Continue reading The uphill challenge

30 things it took me 10,958 days to learn
Today is my 30th birthday. Some people think turning 30 makes you old and other people think 30 is the new 20. I have no real opinion about whether turning 30 means you are young or old, but I can say I've learned a lot of things in the last 10,958 days [30 years]. Things… Continue reading 30 things it took me 10,958 days to learn
I no longer struggle with dry, knotty runner hair: Herbal Essences Biorenew Products
The longer my hair gets the knottier it gets. It seems like the more I run the more tangled it becomes. I once ran a track race and my hair got attached to the number sticker on my shirt. It wasn't a fun post race experience. Not only did I have to carefully remove the… Continue reading I no longer struggle with dry, knotty runner hair: Herbal Essences Biorenew Products

Over the summer I received a copy of Becky Wade's new running book RUN THE WORLD. I received my copy right before I left for California in July.

Random things: September 2016 edition
I've been very obsessed with the colors teal & what most people know as sea foam green lately, although sea foam green has been referred to as ocean (osielle), forget-me-not blue (SparklySoul), and breakfast at tiffanys (wet & wild nail polish). To me all of these things look like the same color. My recent love of… Continue reading Random things: September 2016 edition

An letter to my former athletes
Seeing your smiling faces every day brought me joy. You made me nervous because I got sick to my stomach before you raced. You worried me by being college students and doing the things that college students do. You made me angry because sometimes you didn't get along, sometimes you skipped practice, and sometimes you made poor… Continue reading An letter to my former athletes
Things I do when I don’t blog
I took a break from blogging for 10+ days (until earlier this week) and I did regular things. I bought a few new cardigans (shocking, I know). I love cardigans and this one was only $10. I love this color although Phil picked it out. At least one of us has good taste in… Continue reading Things I do when I don’t blog
The 2015 goals I met & the 2015 goals I did not meet

Although I had every intention to keep these goals in mind and work diligently everyday to meet them, some of them fell by the wayside as the year progressed. _____________GOALS I MET IN 2015_____________________ The first goal I had… Continue reading The 2015 goals I met & the 2015 goals I did not meet
When you fail at blogging….
I failed at blogging. I don't even remember the last time I posted something. I think I've been really interesting lately so this is unfortunate. I forgot most of the interesting things I've done. I have failed at blogging. I jumped in the air. Not for fun, for a sparkly soul ambassador challenge. I… Continue reading When you fail at blogging….
