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 be on a trail, but

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 slipped in the mud on

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).

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 trial. I anticipated I would

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 DIY’d these jeans last week

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 to be surprised by my
