February 16th marks one month that my dad has been in a hospital and I can’t even begin to express the difficulties these days have brought, but I’m sure there are people out there who can relate. However, I can sum up how my life has been for the past month: My world has stopped and…

Starting From Somewhere
January 1st was to be my first run since Christmas. As I started to move, my legs felt like they had 20-pound cinder blocks attached to them, my breathing felt labored, and it seemed like I was going against 40 mph headwinds. The funny thing was, I was inside on a treadmill, and able to…
I Can Only Hope
It never fails. As usual, I suffered a mixture of excitement and a tinge of anxiety surrounding New Year’s. This happens to me towards the end of every single year. On the one hand, I’m excited about the clean slate and newness, but on the other hand, I dive into this small pool of anxiety…

Short and Sweet September Goals
If there are was anything greatly lacking from my running repertoire the last several months, it was goals. And now that a new month is here, it’s time to set some! Because I decided to take the rest of the year off from races, I’ve pretty much free floated from day-to-day and didn’t really set…
