Progress is never linear. But it's so easy to forget that when you're in the middle of it; and forgetting that in any moment along that route usually means you end up frustrated. Frustrated leads to questioning, questioning leads to excuses, and suddenly you remember why progress is never linear. Whether it's running, your career, …
On Running Solo
It feels like at least once a week, someone on social media comments about how the beauty of running is meeting people and running with others. For me, these comments always make me take a deep breath, and step away from my phone. There's a lot wrapped up in how and why people run, and …
What I’m Loving: January 2019
This monthly post always one of my favorites to write, because it gave me an opportunity to share the things I've been obsessed with all month. It's a random assortment of things that may not be all that new, but I love them, and want to share them in case you're looking for something new! …
Secrets of Meal Planning for One
If you've followed me on social media for a while, you know that I am a consistent meal planner. You also probably know that I am single, and live alone, which means when I meal plan, and cook, it's usually just for me. I think meal planning for one is actually probably easier, because I …
Bringing in the Experts

Don’t Call it a Comeback
I'm reviving the blog. With new goals, the evolution will focus on my messy journey through life.

Hopes & Expectations
In less than a week I go back to my Orthopedic doc, my awesome pink cast comes off, and if everything has gone right, I will be back in the boot, and walking. I'm scared to say that out loud. Really scared. Every 4 weeks since April, I've gone into clinic and every time I've …
Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’… And being a little scared
Almost 2 weeks ago I got my ridiculously pink cast put on, and while I've learned nothing in this recovery is a given, I'm in the home stretch of being non-weight bearing. I've been impressed, actually, by how I've handled this piece of my journey. Other than it making life just a bit more difficult, …
