Thankful Thursdays

This week I am thankful for: 1. Getting to have dinner with Brian and Rachel and catch up 2. Rachel’s delicious cooking 3. Running on my trail again after months of treadmill running 4. Not dying while running in 36 degree weather with 30 mph gusts in a t-shirt 5. Seeing a big coyote on […]

I Never…

I spent some time during my run last night thinking about how funny life is. Here I was, passing mile four, thinking about the fact that I never thought I would or could be a runner. I never thought I could run an entire mile. In high school P.E., on mile day, my best friend […]

Time for Some R&R (&R&R)

This blog brought to you by the letter R! Running:I’m back to having a routine with my running. I know, I know, in the course of this blog I’ve stopped and started 2-3 times, but I’m back in action and getting my butt kicked by my treadmill every other day (which comes to 3-4 times […]

Flirting with the OR/WA border…

Just a little map to show my progress in the “Run Across America” challenge. I’m not 100% sure it’s the exact route used originally, but close enough? I’ve gone 224.6 miles and am now in/around Roosevelt, WA (which there are apparently two of, by the way, this is the one in Klickitat County). I’m just […]

Happy New Year to my few devoted readers 🙂 New Year’s is particularly special to me as it is the day that Stephen and I had our first kiss and started the relationship I have with my future husband. You can see in the above picture the recreations of our midnight kisses from 2007 and […]

Green at last, green at last, thank God Almighty, I am green at last :)

In case the title didn’t give it away, I finally reached Nike Level Green!! The last 15 miles seemed to drag out forever (and having to take 3-day breaks because of the rain didn’t help) but I have finally reached 155 miles on my NikePlus shoes/sensor. I was so excited and love the new Mini […]
