Last year, the end of 2017, I felt a heavy weight thinking about the upcoming year. 2017 was a huge year for me personally and 2018 looked so dull in comparison. It was going to be a year of grinding work, knowing that the goals I set out to accomplish wouldn't be achieved in the … Continue reading 2018
Onward Shay Half Marathon Recap (2018)
Hello beautiful humans. Last week I ran the Onward Shay Half Marathon for the second year in a row. Here's how it went. Temperature: Overcast, in the low 50s, a bit a chilly breeze in the last few miles. So, in other words, absolutely perfect. Course: They changed the course up from last year so that … Continue reading Onward Shay Half Marathon Recap (2018)
A different goal
Hello. I'm currently procrastinating the 12 pages of reading I have to do for my Intellectual Property class for tomorrow by writing this. But it's something that my writer soul needs to say for my runner soul. I think I mentioned that I'm running a half marathon at the end of October. On Instagram (you … Continue reading A different goal

Introducing Malakai
Matt and I added to our fur family again. This is Malakai. He is a Siberian husky. Currently, he is 8 weeks old and roughly the same size as our cats. Well, to be honest, he's a little smaller than Minnie the Monstrous (who clocked in at 15 pounds at the vet.) Baby pictures: Left: … Continue reading Introducing Malakai
What I’ve Been Up To
Hello, beautiful humans. It's been a while! I didn't mean to take such a long break from blogging. I think it did me good to focus on other areas of my life besides running, talking/thinking about running, and planning around running. I've been reading (for fun!) and writing (fiction! Not briefs!) and enjoying life. Here … Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To
Utah Valley Marathon Recap
What a race. What a day. But let's start at the beginning. I went to bed at 9:00, alarm set for 3:00 a.m. But I kept waking up afraid I had missed it. I woke up at 12:30, again at 1:30 and at 2:15 I never really fell back asleep again. My alarm finally went … Continue reading Utah Valley Marathon Recap
Sunday Recap: Week 18
Psst....I'm actually writing this on Friday before the marathon but I am not about to ruin my lovely history with a 'Friday' recap. Anyway. Last week of training. Lots of nerves.

Sunday Recap: Week 17
How am I about to start the last week of training? How is it that next weekend I'll be running a marathon? The time disappeared. I remember, on my very first run of this training cycle (3 miles) I wondered how I would ever manage 26.2. Now, I'm confident I will. Monday: Memorial Day meant … Continue reading Sunday Recap: Week 17
