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–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.

Throwback Thursday– the time I ran across an island
In November of 2012 I ran across ocracoke island in the outterbanks of North Carolina.

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.

Throwback Thursday–Stupid things I once did, specifically related to running
*From the ages of 14-19 I refused to wear pants or tights when running outside in the winter. My legs would turn beat red and I would be very sore--I probably almost experienced frost bite. I now wear pants and tights when running outside in the winter. I also wear gloves, a headband or hat,… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–Stupid things I once did, specifically related to running
Throwback Thursday–The time I got spiked in the achilles
Once upon a time, when I was a senior in college, I was running a 5k at the New York City Armory.

I was in a weird place with training since I had… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–The time I got spiked in the achilles

Instead I'm going to tell a story about something that happened that I am thankful for.....meeting Phil. This story isn't that exciting. Most people seem to think we have this fantastic love… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–Thanksgiving edition or how I met Phil
