Last week I wrote a blog post about how I felt like I could finally call myself a runner…and subsequently also jinxed myself, because the very next day I hurt my ankle/foot. It’s been almost a full 5 days since my injury (6 hours in the ER, bandage, icing, crutches and lots of rest prescribed) […]

I can barely believe I’m typing these words, but I do dare say I have become a … *gulp* runner? Waaaaay back, which feels forever ago but it’s really not been, in February 2020, I set out to sign up and train for my first ever half-marathon. I documented the journey (read here and follow […]
As of this week I have officially become a morning person. Not by choice entirely, but more due to circumstance. I was selected recently to take part in a temporary detail for my organization’s head office, which happens to be located in Washington DC. Luckily for me this opportunity is VIRTUAL; however, I still have […]
Read about my Dry January 2020 here. Side note, I find it annoying to keep reading/typing “Dry January” so henceforth it is abbreviated to DJ. Week 1 Recap can be found here, week 2 here, and week 3 here! Alright! So January is one of those months with 31 days, and to be honest, I’m […]

…signed up for ANOTHER half marathon that is! January 2020, I decided I wanted to try and tackle a half marathon, because I’ve never really been a runner (or any sort of endurance athlete for that matter), and I wanted to see if I could do it. Well, fast forward a bit through good old […]
Peloton made a name for itself with their bike (read my review of the bike here); however, their treadmill experience is equally as awesome. Check them out here if you are interested! Background:I have historically never categorized myself as one to enjoy cardio, and certainly never a “runner” by any stretch of the imagination; however, […]
Read about my Dry January 2020 here. Side note, I find it annoying to keep reading/typing “Dry January” so henceforth it is abbreviated to DJ. Week 1 Recap can be found here. Having rounded the halfway point (almost) and it’s honestly a little hard for me to believe that I have made it a full […]
#newyearnewme…amiright? No, but in all seriousness, I do truly want to make a serious go of “Dry January” for 2021. I did well in 2020, but didn’t finish my month completely free of alcohol (read about it here). I wanted to chronicle the 2021 efforts a bit more, so here we are. Side note, I […]
Blossoming Blog
I decided early in 2020 that I wanted to be better about maintaining my blog and writing more. I set out to be more diligent and consistent in my practices, and ended up posting 224 times in 2020!? Even I am surprised by that number! Here are some of my takeaways thus far:1. It’s as […]
