Happy Sunday Darlings! Despite the fact that I can’t manage my time well enough to get regular updates up, I am in fact STILL running and training and I just wrapped up Week 9 (HOW?!?) this morning with a long run of 8 miles. Miles 5 and 6 felt pretty rough because my hip flexors … More Road to Half-Marathon: Update
Alright alright alright. I’m behind. I fully realized how behind I was when I looked back on my notes and realized that this post includes run notes from a month ago. *Shrugs.* Oops. I’m an E.B.H. (Extraordinarily Busy Human), what can I say? I can attempt to do better, meaning I will also post weeks … More Road to Half-Marathon: Weeks 3 & 4
Hey Darlings! Journal time! These are actually from class two Wednesday’s ago…but we all know I’m all about the late posts! I’ll put up this past week’s before next Wednesday, and this week’s happens to be the last journal assignment for this particular class! I haven’t decided yet if I will still with the grad … More Grad School Journal: #4
Hello Darlings! I have officially started training for my first half-marathon! I’m following a 16-week program that culminates in the half-marathon on May 13th. I’ll be running the half at Smith Rock–it is my favorite place in Oregon and so it seemed fitting. I will be (hopefully) running five days a week (although week two … More Road to Half-Marathon: Weeks 1&2
Happy Tuesday (it technically just became Tuesday) Darlings! In an attempt to get this journal up BEFORE I have to complete the one for this week on Wednesday, I am just choosing the no-sleep route. Luckily for Starbucks and unluckily for my bank account, that just means extra caffeine tomorrow…er…today. Last week in class we … More Grad School Journal #2
Hey all! This should come as no shocker, but grad school coursework has taken up even more of my time than I had anticipated. Who knew, right? If I haven’t mentioned this before, I’m getting my Master’s in Teaching with an added ESOL endorsement. Before I dive in to today’s post, I will mentioned one … More Grad School Journal #1
Only a weekish late, no big deal. Is anyone surprised? I think not. Hello 2018. Welcome. We are so happy you are here. I for one, am very pleased with how this new year started. I watched the ball drop with some friends, did a little (ahem, a lot) of kissing, and for the first … More On Resolutions
Me too. Two words that I saw echoed all over social media the past few days. Two words that normally might be tossed aside, looked over, missed. Not yesterday. not today. I guess I am considered one of the “lucky” ones. I have not been the victim of some heinous form of sexual assault. Great. … More Me too.
Happy October Darlings! I have a new book review for you all! Up this month is Reclaiming Your Body: Healing from Trauma and Awakening to Your Body’s Wisdom by Suzanne Scurlock-Durana. It deals with ways to help heal your body from trauma in order to better understand your body’s wisdom. Sounds useful, yeah? Before I get … More October Book Review: Reclaiming Your Body
It’s been a week of wild sickness (not on my part, fingers crossed), exhaustion, impatience, reactivity, last-minute deadlines…but I don’t want to discuss any of that. To be honest, I have spent so much time this week reading yoga and self-help books (one for training and one for review) that this week, I just want … More Freestyle Friday: 9/29/17
