I am a perpetual over-sharer, not much in my life is sacred or safe from the world wide web. Complete strangers probably know me just as well as my own mother does, because I document everything in 21st century fashion: online . Lately, though, there have been some things going on in my world that I've kept in the shadows of this blog or my social media feeds, simply because it's not really my Continue reading →
Sobriety: an Experiment of One.
Another forward and disclaimer, that might sound mighty familiar: I’ve shared – and overshared – a lot of personal information on this blog over the last decade. This might be one of the most personal posts I’ve decided to publish to date. It’s hard to open and admit to the world, friends, coworkers, and complete strangers alike, that you are flawed. But in the spirit of sharing so that others Continue reading →
Sea Level Solidarity
On January first, I wrote out the obligatory list of things I hoped to do in 2018. Some of the goals on this list are easily obtainable with a little bit of focus; some of them are a significant stretch. Reach for the stars, right? Sandwiched in the middle of the list between the easy and outlandish to-do items, there are a number of goals that I know deep down I can achieve, if I truly bust Continue reading →
‘Till Lactate Threshold Levels Do Us Part
When I decided a few weeks ago that I was ready to start running again, I simultaneously decided to hand over full control of my training (and all of the planning and stressing that goes with it) to someone else. But not just anyone. I've trained as an athlete under running coaches in the past, and both times, it didn't quite work out for me. Not at any fault of the coach mind you ("It's Continue reading →
6 Useless Tips for Running with Seasonal Allergies
In order to talk about running with seasonal allergies, we've got to talk about what causes the allergies in the first place. In my case, and in the case of this written-out-of-total-frustration-and-lack-of-oxygen blog post, it's the trees. Trees truly are one of the most important things on this green planet. Simply put: without their life giving oxygen, we wouldn't exist. And I'm convinced Continue reading →
Three Dozen
I always wondered at one point in my life I would hike up the proverbial big girl panties (my goodness, I loathe that saying, yet perpetually use it) and decide it was time to finally start taking care of myself. Come to find out, it's age thirty six. It's Myrtle Beach marathon weekend here in town, something I've participated in more times than I can count (because I run out of fingers Continue reading →
Whispers
You may have noticed that there hasn't been a lot of running going on around here. What's more, you might have noticed I haven't incessantly brought this fact up three thousand times, like I typically do when not running. But now that I've brought it up, let us discuss this anomaly further. A slew of perhaps not so random events occured in my running life, including some heavy distance races Continue reading →
Practice Positive Thinking- Four Daily Habits that Helped Me Have a More Positive Outlook on Life
The other night I was having a conversation with a very important person in my life, who is struggling through a tough spot right now. At one point she said to me "I wish I could have a positive outlook on life like you do." The truth is, I haven't always been a positive, outgoing person. (My goodness, this is a long and rambly post. I have a point - and disclaimers - at the end. Bear with Continue reading →
Forty Days
Forward and disclaimer: I've shared - and overshared - a lot of personal information on this blog over the last decade. This might be one of the most personal posts I've decided to publish to date. It's hard to open and admit to the world, friends, coworkers, and complete strangers alike, that you are flawed. But in the spirit of sharing so that others may find comfort and solace knowing that Continue reading →
Total Body Enhancement at Planet Fitness – A Review
I swear I have a story for everything. And this time, it's about the Total Body Enhancement machine at Planet Fitness. SO IT ALL BEGAN LAST WEEK. I was scrolling through Instagram stories, because that's been my favorite distraction lately, despite the fact that I'm somewhat angry with Instagram for shortening users attention spans and therefore ruining the blogging industry. LONG LIVE Continue reading →
Rat Jaw
For a solid decade I have suffered from FOMO. Fear. Of. Missing. Out. A term commonly thrown around the endurance world, FOMO is essentially what happens to runners when they see other people participating in really cool races and want to join in too...nevermind the fact that their own race schedule might be overbooked. FOMO doesn't care. FOMO also doesn't care if there is no time to Continue reading →
