A Mile A Day: Day 7
It’s incredible how different the same places can look under different positions of the sun. Last night, mile 7 was completed at dusk. Winston and I donned our reflective gear and glowed as the sun set on us. The colors were deeper, richer. The path was clear. And today we’re preparing for mile 8 in…

A Mile A Day: Day 6
The weekend should be the easiest time to get in some exercise but what I’m learning about myself is that I do better with setting my priorities during the week. I know that healthy eating can be more difficult during the weekend (hanging out by the fridge isn’t good for anyone), but I’m a little…

A Mile A Day: Day 5
Don’t think that just because it’s Cinco de Mayo I neglected my mile. Was it more of a meander? Yes. Was it followed by tacos? Yes. Margaritas? Perhaps. Nachos? Who is counting?! Seriously. Get off my back. I got my mile.

A Mile A Day: Day 4
I loved today’s walk. Loved. it. You know those Fall days when your body is warm and your nose never gets cold but your cheeks feel like perfectly frozen muscles on your face? They’re cool to the touch long after you come inside but the chill never permeates anything else? That was today’s Spring weather.…

A Mile A Day: Day 3
Definitely overdid it yesterday. My knees are whimpering! Note to reader: I thought about using the word “screaming” right there but I feel like it gives my knees too much credit. They’re weak. Instead of punishing myself, I took mile 3 at a quick but non-punishing pace with my trusty Boxer mutt Winston. There was a lot…

A Mile A Day: Day 2
Day two is in the books! I snuck out after dinner and took a run around this perfect 1 mile stretch in my neighborhood. And by run, of course, I mean slowly plodded step after step until I had completed the route, all the while pep talking myself out of throwing up burger onto wet…

A Mile A Day
If you regularly win your FitBit group challenges, you need to leave. Seriously, I want to get to know you better but this post is not the post. This is not our day. If, however, you are consistently in last place and feel like your friends really only invite you so they can feel like…

Excuse Me While I Creep on Your Yard
I don’t know what it is about this Spring but I feel like I’m seeing color for the first time. Yellows, pinks, peaches, and reds – they’re stopping me in my tracks. And I’m sure it makes for a pretty strange looking neighborhood stroll when I’m constantly backtracking from lawn to lawn. I’m half expecting…

A Planner
I’m a planner. Well, no. That’s not entirely correct. What I mean to say is that I’m a natural worrier which is a bit like planning but involves spending much more of your time thinking up outlandish worst case scenarios than actually doing anything to prevent them. But I do own a planner. That’s something,…

Looking Back at 2016
I’ve struggled to put this past year into words. It’s been the worst as a whole with the brightest spots of beauty, joy, love, and grace perfectly placed to create a #2016bestnine. In truth, the moments were much more than posed pictures. They were divine intervention. God’s hand placed heavily on my heart, proclaiming his…
