It’s a cold, kind of dreary day here in Grand Rapids. It makes me want to stay in, wearing some cozy sweatpants, drinking delicious coffee, and reading the day away. Alas, that’s pretty much the opposite of what I’ve done! My day started out meeting up with my dear friend Andi at Bagel Beanery for [...]

I am one hundred percent obsessed with this rendition of Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know” from GLEE. A Capella with stunning harmonies on a classic song? You just can’t go wrong. It gives me chills every. single. time. When I wasn’t listening to that on repeat today, I was listening to some of the albums I’ve been [...]

Now that I’ve made the decision not to run the 25k in a few weeks (p.s. thanks for all your kind, supportive words on that!), I’m excited to work my booty off towards the other races I have coming up this year, particularly the marathon in October. I’ve been hard at work perfecting my training [...]

I made a decision today, one that has been on the back of my mind for a couple of weeks now. One that I know I need to do, but just haven’t wanted to admit. I’m dropping down from the 25k to the 10k at the River Bank Run. I haven’t stuck with my training [...]

I am ridiculously excited to see The Lucky One when it comes out this weekend! Confession: I really have no reason for mentioning that. I just thought you might like to watch Zac Efron for a couple of minutes. Confession part two: I really just wanted to watch Zac Efron for a couple of minutes. [...]

After only running 2.5 miles total last week (and despite re-evaluating my 25k plans), I was still questioning if May 12 was a realistic race. It didn’t help that I woke up on Saturday having finally caught my roommate’s cold. She’d been sick all week and my immune system is not the greatest to begin [...]

One month from today is the River Bank Run 25k. Training started back in December, but I have, admittedly, not kept up with my training as well as I should have. Not even close, if I’m being truly honest with myself. Despite big goals of PRing, I have certainly not set myself up for success [...]
