Half Marathon, Doggy Daycare, and Salad
Much to catch up on! Two weeks ago (literally the weekend after getting back from the cruise- and a week of no running) I ran in the Little Patuxent River Half Marathon, in Columbia, MD. This course gave me a run for my money- I knew it was going to…

Mexico!!!
Last week (ok maybe 2 weeks ago), Jason and I went on an all-inclusive cruise to Mexico! The cruise line was called Princess Cruises, and it was a first-time cruise for both me and Jason. We went with our friends who flew in from Texas, who we met up with…

Humbling Moments and a Semi-Comeback
Rain, snow, and sleet have been the common themes for the past week here in NOVA. I hadn’t experienced real snow since I was in college so the first day of snowfall was like Christmas all over again!! However, my clumsiness brought me back down to earth (literally), and I…

25 Years Old!
Since my New Year’s Resolution was to cook more, I was gifted a plethora of cookbooks for Christmas (and one for my birthday- not pictured, the classic Betty Crocker Cookbook). The endeavor has gone quite well so far, as I’ve exceeded my goal of cooking at least one new recipe…

WFH or Work from Anywhere?
The last few weeks have been quite busy with seemingly no end in sight! We were in Glen Rose, TX for Jason’s leadership camp, and I got to run around a new town for a couple mornings. My favorite was Big Rocks Park (pictured above) and running over a dam…

Cooler Temps + Fun with Friends
Just finished off a crazy busy few months of work with our last conference of the season! My favorite part about going into the office is the after-work runs around the National Mall. I still feel so lucky that I finally get to live and work in one of my…

Back from a Brief Hiatus
What a week! Two Saturdays ago I ran in a small turkey trot at the Dominion Valley Country Club in Haymarket, Virginia. I did this to see approximately where I am fitness-wise, because I know that your first marathon is usually not indicative of your capabilities, it’s really just a…

A Calm Week and a New Meditation Technique
This week felt pretty slow, probably a combination of three things: post whirlwind weekend, not much going on at work, and Jason going into the the office 3x, leaving me to my own devices! It’s ok, I still had my codependent coworker under foot at all times 🙂 I also…

I’M ENGAGED!!!
So last weekend I THOUGHT I was going to the zoo, then running a Veteran’s Day 5k. Well, I did end up going to the National Zoo, which was lovely! Here is Jason on the walk up to the entrance: I did not expect to be proposed to, however, nor…
