My husband and I spent the weekend in Toronto to visit our friend who was in from LA. We walked, ate, and laughed. Here are some photos I took along the way.

Race recap of my first ultra-marathon!

While training for my first ultra marathon (55km), I was fortunate enough to spend 2 weeks in Yukon, Canada. My trip overlapped with some of the biggest weeks of training in my program, and I hit the trails with all the energy I had.

Some weeks we train to increase mileage, build speed, improve strength, and push through physical barriers. Some weeks we train just to feel grounded.

I woke up this morning with a feeling of relief. Like a weight is slowly lifting off me. I am taking steps toward a better life.

Motivation has been a struggle lately. You see the daily lace ups. You see the post-run watch photos. But unless you've been paying close attention, you don't see how hard it has been to keep moving forward.

If you ask me about my childhood, I will tell you it was great. I had a mom who loved me very much, and two older sisters who looked out for me.

When the most wonderful time of the year doesn’t feel that wonderful.

Me strutting away from my negative self-talk.

26 weeks since I sprained my ankle.

While we can all agree that rest is important, it’s still possible to get caught up in our schedules.

Recovery is slow and that’s okay.

Watch as the injured runner transforms into a cyclist…

I have gained almost 10 lbs since March. I am at my highest weight in a decade. I also feel more comfortable in my skin than ever before.

Some years I would see my dad on Father’s Day. We would have brunch and it felt like we were a normal family.

I am a person who lives by my to do list. There are an alarming large number of things that I strive to do every single day.

After 3 months since I sprained my ankle, and 2.5 months without access to any medical specialists, today I was finally able to see an osteopath.

Taking deep breaths and trying to be okay with missing another Sunday runday.

This is the secret to my sanity during isolation.
