New Jersey Half Marathon Recap
I ran the New Jersey Half Marathon this weekend and it was great. At least, that’s how I feel about it 10 hours later.

Stevens Cooperative School 5K Recap
Man, just as soon as I say I feel like a “lazy runner” and that I’m kind of meh about running and am just enjoying it and don’t feel a fire, I go and run a teeny tiny 5K and take it all back. To recap! I have exactly two friends in New Jersey. One is my […]
There Were Moments of Gold & There Were Flashes of Light
This title pertains to nothing. Well, that’s not true. It pertains to Celiné Dion, goddess of life and everything that is magical. (June 3! June 3! I’m seeing her in Las Vegas on June 3!)

Hello From Utah!
Alternate title: What Are Utah-kin About? And that’s the only Utah pun I could come up with. Hello from the other side…of the country…slightly inland! I’m in Utah! I flew out last Tuesday and don’t return home until this Wednesday, so it’s been a long trip. And yes, I am really missing Ellie. And Brian. […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Is Valentine’s Day a totally cheesy Hallmark holiday? Yes. But am I totally feeling it this year? ALSO YES. I’ve been in a nonstop good mood for like five days straight, and that’s the longest streak I’ve had since roughly November 9. I’m going to keep riding this high, and in the spirit of the […]
