Oh my are we ever here now… First of all I think we need to collectively apologize to all the prefectly lovely Karens out there, it really could have been any name. But… if you are a Karen who is a Karen it’s probably at least partially your fault. But some of this behavior is... Continue Reading →
This one is straight up about training and accomplishment. Training is a lot of great things it's me time, self-care and it can be fun. At least when it starts it is usually something you love to do anyway like running, lifting, riding your bike or swimming. But... as time goes on it can get... Continue Reading →
This week was unlike any I’ve every had before but not due to running or really any dramatic reason. If anything it was because of a really good thing! This was the first week in my life I’ve ever had a full time employee which might not sound like a big deal but it had... Continue Reading →
It might be a little early in training to say this but so far some of the stuff I’ve worried about hasn’t come true! And… they don’t seem to be. One simple thing is water. Our summers have been getting drier over the past 5-10 years. Around here you can either have a dug well... Continue Reading →

It can sometimes come out of hard or difficult times but that's not always the case. In a couple of ways that's happening for me now. Hell that's the reason... Continue Reading →
This week was one where a few things popped up to make running a little harder. We had a couple of rain days and for no good reason at all that always seems to make it a little harder to make it out the door. There was a lot of work stuff that had to... Continue Reading →
This week may be the point I look back on later in training that led me to thinking this would be easy. I worked 58 hours for myself, about 5 for honey and 5 more tutoring. I also got all my runs in pretty effortlessly. Well mostly effortlessly but pretty easily at least. I’m loving... Continue Reading →
My favorite gardening projects are taking spaces that have been forgotten and neglected and bringing them back to life. More often than not with a bit of work I'm able to take something that looks a mess and tame it into something beautiful. I especially love when I can do this without bringing in new...
