When I found myself temporarily living in my childhood bedroom my mom pointed out a large box of things I left behind. She told me to go through the box, however my thinking was that if I had left it behind it wasn't important to me. I didn't feel compelled to open this box immediately but a few… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: overcoming obstacles

Throwback Thursday: College Photos
I haven't done a #throwbackthursday post in a long time although I always have lots of stories to tell. This week I have decided to share some photos of my college days and briefly caption them for you. This photo was taken before an XC banquet my freshman year of college (2005). Because I… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: College Photos
Throwback Thursday–My first XC practice
July is coming to an end and most high schools have started to have cross country practice, at least my former high school has so I think this post is appropriate. I ran track in middle school but at the time our middle school did not have cross country. I planned to run cross country… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–My first XC practice
Throwback Thursday–The time I fell in love with Colorado <3
Last June (2014) Phil and I took a vacation to Frisco, Colorado and I fell in love with the mountains. Right now we are in Frisco again because I LOVE it here so much. If I could pick up my life and drop it in the Colorado mountains I would do it immediately. Before I start… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–The time I fell in love with Colorado ❤
Throwback Thursday: The time I won a race and ended up on front page of the local newspaper dressed like this
In 2012 Phil's job was hosting a 5k so I signed up and raced. It was the very end of August and it was dreadfully hot outside. For the most part, I would be considered a conservative dresser aside from when I'm running in the summer. I have been known to wear short shorts, runderwear,… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The time I won a race and ended up on front page of the local newspaper dressed like this
Throwback Thursday–how I fell in love with coffee
I always liked the smell of coffee as a child because it reminded me of Christmas morning or dessert time at my grandparents house, but I never drank coffee because I was a kid and kids usually think that coffee tastes bitter and gross--I did anyway. I went all of my life smelling coffee and… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–how I fell in love with coffee
Throwback Thursday– the time I ran across an island
In November of 2012 I ran across ocracoke island in the outterbanks of North Carolina. Phil and I decided to go on vacation after cross country season ended and he found this cute little cabin on ocracoke island, home of the ocracats. Yes, they have cat colonies all over the island and they call these… Continue reading Throwback Thursday– the time I ran across an island
Throwback Thursday–the time I met a comedian during a 10k
In 2007 I was running a 10k on the track at njcaa nationals. It was HOT, it was humid, and they were handing out water during the race. I felt like stopping because the race felt so horribly long and it was so hot and humid but I kept running. At some point it ended,… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–the time I met a comedian during a 10k
Throwback Thursday–The time I ran a 5k using a pseudonym
One time during my senior year of college my XC team had a race on a Friday. Like almost every race I ran in college, I was unsatisfied with how I ran. Since I was unsatisfied and I knew of a 5k road race the next day I decided to run that race too. I wanted… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–The time I ran a 5k using a pseudonym
