I don't have a specific thanksgiving story to tell. Most thanksgivings usually go the same in my family....We spend time together and eat. 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

Throwback Thursday–The breakthrough race
It is not a secret that I struggled to run decently during college and that I never reached my athletic potential. When I transferred from community college to a four year school I had a hard time adjusting to a new team, a new coach, and a whole new school. My first xc season after transferring was… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–The breakthrough race
Throwback Thursday–The time my xc team won nationals
8 years ago my cross country team won the NJCAA DIII National Championship. We were also the first women's team in the history of the college to win a national championship. I decided it was a good idea to "throwback" to November 11th, 2006 because thinking about this day always makes me happy but also… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–The time my xc team won nationals

This is a continuation from the journal I kept my freshman year of high school. See part 1 HERE! Well, I had my first race on Saturday, September 15, 2001.

Throwback Thursday–journaling at age 14(part 1)
At age 14 I was a freshman in high school running varsity cross country and apparently I journaled about it. Last year my mom discovered this notebook in my bedroom and gave it to me.

Throwback Thursday–falling
Yesterday I saw this picture on one of my teammate Lauren's social media pages. Seeing this reminded me of another Throwback Thursday story. If you have ever been a high school runner in NJ I'm sure you are familiar with running at Holmdel. You may even remember that when you get up the bowl(for non-NJ… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–falling
Throwback Thursday–accidental fate
Since I am starting grad school on Monday I decided that this is the perfect opportunity to explain why I am going back to school. It will make sense at the end--I promise. On July 21st of 2003 my mom took me to the doctor to get a sports physical. On the way home we… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–accidental fate
Throwback Thursday–the first time I quit running
Running has always been a big part of my life but there have been a few times I quit running. The first time I quit running was after my senior year of high school. By the end of my senior year I couldn't take it anymore. I was certain I would never compete again and if I… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–the first time I quit running
Throwback Thursday–the time I hated running
There was once a time when I was petrified to race--super scared. I mentioned this last week but there is more to it. I use to cry before every race and I also use to count how many more races I had left before I would graduate from high school. I hated racing. HATED it.… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–the time I hated running
