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–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
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. Yes, it was an indoor track meet and yes I don't like indoor track but the armory is a really cool place. I was in a weird place with training since I had… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–The time I got spiked in the achilles
Throwback Thursday–Christmas ADVENTures
In 2007, for Christmas, Phil gave me an advent calendar. The advent calendar had 25 clues inside of it. Each clue led me to a gift, yes he gave me 25 gifts that year! This was an exciting Christmas ADVENTure!! I would open a door, read the clue, find a gift, then repeat until I… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–Christmas ADVENTures
