“Oh, the weather outside is frightful…” Fortunately, we’re not there yet in the DC Metro Area (or the DMV as we call it to confuse everyone else), but I believe it’s coming soon! We mostly skipped over fall this year, with just a few fall days sprinkled into this early winter. So, with colder temperatures…
Today, I’m recapping my last week! I’ve been trying to join the Weekly Run Down linkup regularly, but this week is a bit hectic with my organization’s last major event of the calendar year taking place this week. Even though I missed the linkup cutoff time, I still wanted to share this info with all…
I don’t know what it is about running, but I swear the peer pressure is so aggressive! I’ve played team sports my whole life, and these individual sports like running are pretty new to me. Sure, I’ve had volleyball teammates peer pressure me into all kinds of stuff over the years, but nothing even comes…
Can you believe it’s already November?? I know I can’t!! 2019 has just flown on by! But, alas. Here we are. And here are my goals for November 2019 (with the huge caveat being that some of these will require my sprained ankle to be healed first!): Attend All of My Swim Classes – I…

As you guys know, I love building goals in checklist form! This month, I’ve expanded my list to 10 things I would like to complete before the end of September. Make sure you’re following along with me on social media to see if I can check everything off the list before October 1! Go on…
I couldn’t believe it myself: I went for a long run last night, and I actually enjoyed it! I’m currently in training for the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run, which I still can’t believe is in less than two weeks! It’s funny because, while I haven’t been running a ton, I actually have done a decent…
With all of the cycling and running and volleyball and general running around I’ve been doing, I have started feeling little aches and pains that I know are the result of not being strong enough, and still being much heavier than I prefer. And so, I have set two goals for myself: increase my strength…
Getting back into running has been a real struggle for me. I struggle every late fall to early spring, but it’s been especially rough this year. I just haven’t felt like running. In fact, I’ve felt like doing everything except for running! I just haven’t had the desire, you guys. I have been doing so many…
