Happy 4th birthday, my sweet boy!
When we were preparing for your birth a little over four years ago, your dad and I developed a very detailed plan for getting to the hospital in time. You see, when your sister was born two years prior, she arrived very quickly – I woke up at 3:15 […]
After surpassing my mileage goal in January (I was aiming for 50 miles and finished with 56), I felt excited, strong, and ready to take on more. I have my eye on two half marathons in May – one of which I’m already registered for – and I want to keep my build going. So, […]
I have a big goal this year: to run 1,000 miles over the course of 2019. I’ve set this goal before, in fact, that’s how this blog first started. But, I’ve never actually done it. In fact, I wasn’t even that close when I tried it in 2011 – I was 200 miles short.

Hello there! I haven’t written here in a while, and I’m not sure you can really call it a blog if your last post is almost nine months old, but here we are. It’s my space, so I guess I can call it what I want!
So, speaking of blogs – a few nights ago, […]
So, I haven’t written here in a while. Truth be told, I’ve been in a rut. It typically happens this time of year. My body, brain, and heart are ready for spring but it’s still gloomy, chilly, and windy outside. Work has been, well, work. The kids have been challenging lately, especially the three-year-old – […]
10 years ago this month, I was newly separated. My husband had moved out in January, and while I was very sad that my marriage was ending, I was relieved too. The previous year had been a constant struggle, like I was carrying one end of a heavy piece of furniture up a flight of […]
I like the idea of setting a word for the year. I first heard of this concept on podcasts I listen to regularly, including the Sarah R. Bagley podcast, and the #amwriting podcast. But lots of people do this now (if you Google “setting a word for the year,” you’ll find many blog […]
It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of running in the cold. But, seeing as I did very little running this fall and that I’ve registered to run a half marathon in May, I need to start to build my base back up and I can’t wait until spring to do […]
I ran a race this weekend, a 5k.
I was about to write “just a 5k” and stopped myself.
I first started running almost 10 years ago, when I was going through my divorce. I had met a girl named Kim through another friend of mine, and Kim was part of a running group in […]
I got a pair of trail shoes for my birthday. They’re pretty tough looking – black with a few purple accents and rugged soles that look like they can take on anything. I wanted them because I do a lot of my running on the C&O canal path, which is flat but covered in stones […]
