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 …

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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
Why is it that February is always the longest month of the year, when it's always the shortest month of the year? No matter where I've lived, the weather is always miserable, and it's the start of a long period of time when there's no long weekend in sight (my company does not have President's …
