One of the first old blog posts that a few of you read after I relaunched was On Running Solo. Gosh, how things have changed since then. I laugh when I say that running with The Exchange Running Collective has made me less strong but a better runner and happier person, I’m actually pretty serious. …
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back: The Blog is Back
A million years and miles ago, run blogging was all the rage. Seriously, it felt like if you ran in the early to mid-2010s you had a blog. Or maybe that was just my crowd? Either way, I was on the bandwagon. For a few years, it was my whole personality. Run bloggers were runfluencers …

Quarantine Diaries: Day 31
I feel a bit guilty. Over the last few days, I've felt guiltier than I have for much of the last 30 days. I feel guilty because while I miss a lot of things, I'm mostly grateful. I'm not hating this version of life; I'm not loving it, but I've found a way to focus …
Quarantine Diaries: Day 22
I had stopped blogging a while ago. I was uninspired, and just didn't feel like putting the time in. All day today, however, I found myself musing a lot, and thought "I feel like I should be tracking this experience more than just on Insta." My journal is my journal, but this felt share-able. So …
Traveling while Training: Staying Motivated
When you're on the road a lot, it can go one of two ways: you get excited about switching up your views and love getting your workouts in, or you're just exhausted and want some down time. For me, it's not 100% one or the other. My usual view: Kindle, work iPad to catch up …

When you're training for something, giving up control is pretty much the last thing you want to do, but stick with me here, it's the only way to make it through and stay healthy, mentally and physically. But …

What I’m Loving: March 2019
Sticking to the travel theme, this month is all about travel-related stuff. When you travel almost weekly, having things that make life feel as normal and comfortable as possible. That Curfew love. I'm always cold, but being on a plane for several hours while cold is the worst, so I've come to invest in lots …
Training While Traveling – How I Pack
AZ perfection As I write this, I’m at the end of a full week of traveling for work (with a day and a half of AZ sunshine by myself on the back end), and this week is in the early part of 9 weeks of travel. To say that it puts my training at risk …
Women are Worth More than a Day
Friday was International Women's Day. To be honest, while I love that the world is taking on the inequality and atrocities committed against women and girls around the world, I hate that we have A DAY dedicated to it. A single day. Roughly 50% of the world is made up of women. The future of …
Mental Trickery – My Accidental Learning
Over the last 14 months or so I've been returning from a long bout of injury, and working with a coach for the first time. One of the things that has helped me improve my speed (one of my big goals) while also not pushing my body into a dangerous zone, has been intervals. With …
