What I learned from a 100 day running streak
I start dreading winter in July. I hate being cold, I hate being outside in cold weather, and I HATE running in the cold winter months more than anything. This past fall I didn't do a ton of running when the temperature began to drop because we were moving and renovating our house, but I… Continue reading What I learned from a 100 day running streak
40 seconds faster, but never good enough
Two weeks ago I ran the Sequoia Glen 5k for the second time and it has taken me two weeks to find the courage to share what I want to share about this race. This isn't a race recap, this isn't even necessarily about the race I ran two weeks ago. This is about me as… Continue reading 40 seconds faster, but never good enough
Time is everything
Time is everything Waiting patiently--waiting, waiting, waiting for things that only passing time can deliver Time delivers but never when it is desired Timing is an alias for fate Waiting, waiting, waiting time is ticking by Time taunts emotions as it slowly passes by Time creates a feeling of dissatisfaction and a longing for the… Continue reading Time is everything

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
The morning it was 13 degrees
I fell while running yesterday and I bruised my knees and my right big toe. I fell hard and the ground was frozen. It hurt and it stung. It was 13 degrees outside and somewhere around 6:30 AM when I found myself on the frozen ground. I will probably loose my toenail, but at least… Continue reading The morning it was 13 degrees
When you create your own reality: running in the morning
Approximately a year ago I had a vision, but it wasn't crystal clear. It was blurry. I was recovering from an injury and still bogged down with graduate school and internship hours and my thesis. A year ago time was not plentiful. I knew what I wanted to accomplish but I had no idea how… Continue reading When you create your own reality: running in the morning
