Over the last few years, I've had the misfortune of traveling a lot for work. I've gotten to see a number of cities, or at least their airports, a few amazing restaurants, and some of the most average conference rooms in there world. In my current job, my travel, while still happening weekly, involves a …
This post could go one of two ways: 1) I could confess that the only reason I run is that I have actually stolen something. Image from signspecialist.com 2) I admit that my Catholic upbringing did not disappear when I stopped going to church, and I have runner's guilt. Thankfully, it's the latter. So, if …
A few weeks ago, I decided to take my "get stronger" goal seriously, and joined Bobbi McCormick's Summer Shred Fall Edition. I think everyone in my social media life knew about it, but I didn't tell anyone until after it was too late to sign up. I've been excited about the changes I've seen in …

Just a few short months ago this person I only knew as @karenlovestorun and I had cheered each other on through the Runner's World Summer Run Streak and met up for a group run on a whim. Since then we've run together most weekends, signed up for our first marathon, …

I'm back with another Three on Thursday! This week my focus is "Insipiring". A single word that holds so much promise and power, and something I've been thinking a lot about recently. Three Things that make Me Happy 1) A longtime friend from college posted a pic of her healthy lunch today, and tagged me …
If you remember from my posts over the last week, or follow me on any social media, you know I started Bobbi McCormick's Summer Shred Fall Edition on Monday. The last 5 days have been crazy, and awesome. I have been sore in parts of my body I forgot existed, I'm looking at you obliques. …
