Ramblings of a girl who runs a lot of miles and drinks a lot of coffee.
I have always loved to read. I vividly remember going to story time at my local library as a young child, completing summer reading challenges through middle school, actually enjoying reading the classics in high school English class, and escaping into books on long solo plane rides as an adult. Reading has been an escape... Continue Reading →
I don’t know about you, but running really has not been very enjoyable for me for most of this lock down/pandemic time. I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me as I watched the Boston Marathon get postponed, my flight home to see family and friends for the first time in 6... Continue Reading →
So we all know what is going on in the world. I didn’t end 2019 anticipating April of 2020 to begin like this, but none of us did. I’ll keep this short: I’m okay. Not every day is good. Not every day is bad. I am finding something to be grateful for every day (even... Continue Reading →

I love a good book recommendation. Most of what I read comes recommended from someone I know. And I want to share what I have read this year in case you want some recommendations too! I have always loved to read. My Mom got me involved with the local library at a young age and... Continue Reading →
So, I have lived in the city of Chicago for almost 4 years. I have done a lot. But one of the great things about this city is that there are always new adventures to be had, new restaurants to try and new people to meet. I also have so many favorite spots that I... Continue Reading →
I became an ultra marathoner on August 4th, 2019. It has only been seven days since then, but race day still feels like a dream. It's hard for me to put this ultra experience into words. But I'll try. Let's start with the decision to run this race. It might have seemed last minute (it... Continue Reading →
