Life Update

I thought I should pop on over to my blog and share a bit of a life update. Nothing too crazy is going on, but a lot of my posts have been related to trips/travel lately, and haven't been as personal. I briefly mentioned some things I wanted to accomplish over the summer in my…

Things I Want To Invest More In

Hello everyone! I am back with a new post. I feel like I am really starting to get the hang of my new schedule. It is so nice knowing exactly when I am going to post. I feel super happy when I keep on schedule, but love that I am also writing things I feel…

Current Favorites

I usually do these at the beginning or end of the month, but here we are in the middle of February with a favorites post. I got a few gifts for my birthday and Christmas that I have been loving. There are also some other random things thrown in here. I linked most of the…

I Feel Like I Haven’t Posted In Forever

Hi everyone! This is going to be a shorter post and the title of this post says it all. It's weird because I posted a few days ago, but it feels like forever. I am usually dreaming up new posts ideas, writing my ideas down on the train, or just posting more consistently. Even my…

My Breaks From Running

Here with a running post. I mentioned doing a bunch of running posts a couple of months ago, so I am trying to incorporate them throughout. My running post for today is about breaks from running that I have taken, willingly and not so willingly, as well as getting back into running after breaks. My…

My Goals For 2019

I have always done a post like this at the end of the year. I will have a highlights post as well, just because that is fun. But for now I have a list of realistic goals for this year. They are all things I actually want to do. I have realized that there is…

High School Running

I could write a novel on my experience running in high school, but I will try to keep it fairly short. This post might be a little all over the place, but hopefully it is semi interesting. I also tried to find a photo from high school running, but I guess those are all on…

Scared To Sign Up For a Half Marathon

Here with another running-related post. I have quite a few drafts related to running in the works, but today I want to talk about why I'm scared to sign up for a half marathon. I have run a couple half marathons in my life and plenty of shorter races. I'm not scared to actually run…

How I Got Into Running

I wish the cover photo was my first ever pair of running shoes. I remember doing little races in 4th and 5th grade and being decent at running. I remember meeting the high school and middle school girls who volunteered at the races and thinking they were pretty cool and seemed good at running. Next…

7 Things I Did This Weekend

1. Went for a relaxing run around my neighborhood. The weather was perfect and I felt so energized. 2. Tried a new coffee shop. Connor and I went to First Sip. My friend Emi recommended it. We got "falling pumpkin" and "orange blossom" coffees. 3. Tried Strings Ramen. I got a veggie option and Connor…

Running Experiences

Last night on my run I was reflecting on running and my experiences with it, positive and negative. I thought it might be a good series to start on my blog. When I first started my blog, running was a huge topic for me as it was a really big part of my life. I…
