Over the years, I have amassed a number of medals from the different races and runs I've completed. Some of them are silly, such as the medal in the shape of a plate of pie which I got for doing a Pi/Pie Day run a few years back. A few are whimsical, such as the … Continue reading Medal Monday

Flashback Friday: Skydiving, 2012
Let's take this Flashback Friday to the year 2012, when I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. We're in the plane, heading up. Such an amazing feeling! We landed safely! My friend and former co-worker Kristin and I went skydiving during Spring Break that year. We both had been wanting to skydive for a … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Skydiving, 2012

Scratches
The other day, I noticed some scratches on my arms. We don't own a cat or anything like that, so it took me a minute to figure out what had caused the scratches. A grin formed when I thought about it: yard work. I am not one to shy away from hard work, including hard, … Continue reading Scratches

With age comes wisdom (or so they say), and so I've been reflecting on my life and the various intellectual, emotional, and spiritual journeys I've taken throughout the years.

Half Marathon, Full Heart
I did my first half marathon this past Sunday. Another thing to check off my bucket list! In a nutshell, the early morning was cold, my legs began to ache at around mile 9, and I finished just slightly better than I had hoped, although still pretty slow. There were a few great signs along … Continue reading Half Marathon, Full Heart

13.1
Well, it's official. My quest for 13.1 miles (as in: a half marathon) began a week ago when I signed myself up for a local race that will be held in early November. My running career started way back in elementary school for the track team. I ran sprints. The 100 meter dash and the … Continue reading 13.1

Recent Travels
Recently for Spring Break, I went to England and Scotland! Most people travel to hot and sunny places for their vacations and come back bronzed or sunburned, but not me for this trip. I went to chilly and cloudy places! I think I actually came back paler than when I left! 🙂 Anyhow, I have … Continue reading Recent Travels
