A Sunday recap, one day late but worth every word I was so exhausted after Saturday’s hike that opening my laptop was simply not happening. I showered, checked into my hotel, and took a nap. No apologies. That’s exactly what my body needed. But let’s back up to where it all started. I hit theContinue reading “She Conquered Enchanted Rock — And Left a Few Things Behind Up There”

Rest, Recovery & All Hail HOKA
A late Friday recap from the couch. Yesterday’s hike came with a price. By the time I got home my right heel was screaming and I spent the rest of the day on the couch icing it, stretching it, and having a very honest conversation with my body. Ice, stretch, foot and calf exercises, rest,Continue reading “Rest, Recovery & All Hail HOKA”
Sometimes the Map Just Hasn’t Been Written Yet
This post is a day late and that’s okay. Yesterday my body made the decision for me — rest first, write later. Turns out that’s exactly what this post is about. I was up early again this morning — back to my regular walks before school drop offs. I missed these. I haven’t been sleepingContinue reading “Sometimes the Map Just Hasn’t Been Written Yet”
How Being a Solopreneur with ADHD in Perimenopause Is Wrecking Me — And Why I’m Hitting the Road to Figure this S#!t Out
So today, there was nothing more I could squeeze in but a 20-minute walk around my neighborhood. Officing from home can be great and convenient, but during busy tax season the stress and anxiety build up fast — and my soul starts screaming for open space. I’m back in therapy, and that has opened myContinue reading “How Being a Solopreneur with ADHD in Perimenopause Is Wrecking Me — And Why I’m Hitting the Road to Figure this S#!t Out”
9.5 miles on Easter Monday: what the North Shore trail showed me about rebirth
I didn’t plan to start at Murrell Park. The plan was Rockledge Park — 7:30am, trail shoes laced, coffee in hand. But the gate didn’t open until 8am, and I wasn’t willing to lose that time standing in a parking lot. So I pivoted. Found the alternate trailhead at Murrell Park, pulled in, and wasContinue reading “9.5 miles on Easter Monday: what the North Shore trail showed me about rebirth”

Marathon Training Day 384… back to basics
Wow! It’s been 95 days since my last blog post! I have had a few setbacks, but I am still here trotting away in pursuit of my comeback marathon. Progress may be slow, but it definitely hasn’t stopped.

Marathon Training Day 254… the hard 20 and everything in between.
Before I go through yesterday’s long training run, lets start with something fun. My road trip to Palo Duro, TX last month was amazing! I was feeling the breakdown build up and knew I needed to stop and reconnect with myself, refuel, and recharge spiritually. There is nothing better than a solo road trip toContinue reading “Marathon Training Day 254… the hard 20 and everything in between.”
Marathon Training Day 233… stick to the plan
Well, I thought I had 20 miles on the plan for today, but it was another 18. I decided to stick to my training plan and not rush, unless I absolutely felt like running those extra 2 miles. Unfortunately, I started out late this morning, and so only did the planned 18. It was aContinue reading “Marathon Training Day 233… stick to the plan”
