Don't be dumb in the first half, don't be a wimp in the second
I know I'm a little late to the game here since it's already 2017, but hey, better late than never, right? 2016 was a whirlwind of a year for me both athletically and professionally. I ended my career as a nanny and decided to branch out into a new field I had no experience in,... Continue Reading →
2016 was my year when it comes to racing. Sure, it was a pretty wacky year otherwise. But for my running, it couldn't have gone any better. With a few days left, I wanted to take a step back, reflect on my accomplishments, and set my sights on 2017. Taking a quick look back at... Continue Reading →
