InTheLongRun

I wanted to share a few things that have helped me mentally and physically as we all figure out how to deal with COVID-19.

I'm a people person and I can feel lonely very easily so I've been working really hard at making sure I don't allow myself to get in a bad place me...

As this weekend approached, I honestly didn't know if I would run the races I had signed up for by myself, or virtually, or if I would just say forget about the missed races and run whatever. To be honest, I had a lot of anxiety about what I would do. Considering the r...

If you know anything about me or have ever spoken to me for even 10 minutes, you probably know that I live all year for the 3rd weekend in March. I take Friday and Monday off work, I train hard all winter, and I look forward to a long weekend in Virginia Beach celebrat...

I always like to review stats and my favorite running memories from the year on New Year's Eve. For the last few years, my yearly mileage goal has been to run more miles than the year before. It took be a bit to figure out my stats from last year compared to this year...

I love new beginnings, Fresh starts. It's why I love New Years Eve, its the night every year that I spend mentally cataloging and closing out the ending year and preparing for a fresh new year. I used to love the innocent newness of a new school year.(Note: I DO NOT mi...

We're at the halfway point of the 8 week transformation challenge at Orange Theory. The last 4 weeks since I weighed in for the starting weight included Easter, where I ate all the things but tried to contain it to just one day and a week of federal jury duty in Philad...

I've been dying to get back to blogging for quite awhile, but I don't even know where to start. Since I've been blogging regularly, I've gotten engaged, changed jobs, bought a house which we put a lot of work into before moving, and then to top that crazy 2017 off, we...
