There are no small runs, just small runners. Sometimes we think of the length of the run as everything. But what about the quality? It can be tempting to go for long runs and see the number on your running app go up. I’ve been caught in this trap before! LOOK HOW MUCH RUNNING IContinue reading “Short Runs”

Running and Yoga
Hello my friends! It’s been a few weeks since my last post where I talked about where I was at after 8 months of running. The month of March was all about taking my time, not putting any expectations on my runs and really enjoying the scenery. I’m still doing that but I started toContinue reading “Running and Yoga”
Eight Months of Runs
July 16th I took my first “maybe I’ll try this whole running thing” run. I’ve had the runs for 8 months! I can’t believe it. Some months I’ve had the runs in very intense ways and other months have been more casual. Whether I’m running 40k a month or 130, I’m just happy that runningContinue reading “Eight Months of Runs”
I’ve Got the Skates
There is so much snow. Too much snow. And it keeps coming! You think that Mother Nature would get tired of crying these big chunky tears but NO. Have you ever tried to run while snow is blowing sideways straight into your eyeballs? I have. Chef does not recommend! Seeing as the conditions for runningContinue reading “I’ve Got the Skates”
Running From Your Demons
People run for a million different reasons. Maybe you want to increase your cardiovascular stamina. Maybe you want to lose weight. Maybe you have so much fucked up shit going on in your head at all times that running is the only thing to calm the voices. Maybe it’s all three, and then some! Running,Continue reading “Running From Your Demons”
Walk Before You Run
This can be interpreted in a lot of different ways. All of them quite helpful, if you ask me! And I think you did ask me. Otherwise, why are you reading this? When I was an anti-runner, I was a BIG walker. I would even walk in LA. No one walks in LA. If itContinue reading “Walk Before You Run”
When You Literally Have The Runs
Sometimes you have the runs. Literally. I’m surprised it’s taken me so long to talk about my butt struggles. I have what I think is undiagnosed IBS. To be honest, I’m not sure what it is but my butt likes to party. It’s actually been quite a bit better since the pandemic because I realizedContinue reading “When You Literally Have The Runs”
You Deserve a Treat
Listen, there’s only so much a person can write about running before getting hungry and wanting to talk about something else for a minute. Hunger is part of the reason I started running. I was hungry for more. I wanted more of a challenge. More change. More stamina. MORE FOOD. I’ve had quite the appetiteContinue reading “You Deserve a Treat”
Twenty Twenty-Run
It’s a new year baybeeeee! 2020 was, you know, fucked. How fucked was it? It took a global pandemic to wear down my physical and mental health so much that I actually started running! I honestly don’t think I would have started running under different circumstances. I would have continued doing my hot yoga, pilatesContinue reading “Twenty Twenty-Run”
Why Do You Run?
Hello runners! I haven’t released to a new post in 3 weeks because truth be told, I haven’t been running a lot. Maybe averaging two 5k’s a week. None of it felt remarkable and it certainly didn’t seem blog worthy. I started feeling down because running is my new “thing” and if I’m not runningContinue reading “Why Do You Run?”
