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: …

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. Lots of forgetting I was running a marathon on Saturday. Lots of worrying about forgetting something. (Update: I forgot Body Glide. Not good.) Monday: …

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 …

Sunday Recap: Week 16

Monday: Five miles easy at 10:19/mile pace. Tuesday: MBB Home Week 4 Leg workout in the morning, using our home gym. It hurt so good. We also did yard work in the evening. It's funny. When I was a kid, weeding was one of my most hated chores but now, it's not that bad. It's …

Sunday Recap: Week 12

Happy Sunday, beautiful humans. I hope your morning (or afternoon) is going well. I'm writing this with a cat on my lap and a cup of coffee, so I'm pretty content. Monday: 4 easy miles. Not gonna lie, I don't really remember what else happened on Monday since during finals, I lose the ability to …

Sunday Recap: Week 8

What a week. Outside of running, it was consumed with writing and rewriting my appellate brief. That's the big paper all first year law students write and it is (thankfully) due tomorrow. Monday: 3 easy miles. It was sunny but still windy enough for me to be glad I had long sleeves. Tuesday: Up at …

Sunday Recap: Week 5

Hello and happy Sunday, beautiful humans. I had quite a stressful week at school (one midterm, a quiz, and we got our trial briefs back) but now I'm on spring break. I hope you're all not too thrown by the time-change. Here's how my week went: Monday: 3 easy miles after class, plus an extra …

Sunday Recap: Week 2

Two weeks down, sixteen to go! Monday: 3 easy miles after class. It was so warm I almost considered shorts but decided the wind would make me regret that decision. But the sun was out the whole time, which felt amazing. Tuesday: Leg workout from MBB Home Week 2. Downside of the big gym is …

The Plan

Hello beautiful humans and happy Valentine's Day! Or, as my mom calls it, happy Love-of-Chocolate Day! I have already had one Reese's heart and I might have another because I am nothing if not a lover of chocolate, especially if it's filled with peanut butter. Today, I thought I'd give you a quick explanation of …

2018

Last year, I had so many big goals. I had signed up for my first marathon. I was starting my last semester of college. I had turned in my law school application. I knew 2017 was going to be a big year, a year filled with hard work and finally, finally, finally the rewards. So much …
