One of those crazy weeks that you just have to navigate to get through training. But I did. Training is going well. The workouts may not have happened on the days they were slated, but they all did and the week’s long run felt strong despite some fueling issues. It’s nuts to realize the NYC… Read More »
One of my unwritten 2023 goals was more self care. Sometimes the tool to accomplish that is a screen break. I was grateful too to be able to spend some time outdoors, which is always medicinal. While I worked from Mom & Bob’s one day, it was also wonderful to take a true vacation. Linking… Read More »

Grateful to spend it with mom & Bob in Florida. Linking up with Deborah and Kim for a look at Thanksbirthday Week. Sunday: there I… Read More »
Not that there was anything wrong with the rest of my week, but Saturday’s Governor’s Island mischief was definitely the highlight. Not going to do a full race recap since it’s substantively the same as last year’s Haunted Island and every other Governors Island 10K, but I’ll get into it more below. There were some… Read More »
