An exploration on life and living.
Peaches Lost
What can we do, but tend to our own songs of love? Love for the earth, love for each other, love for ourselves. To care well for the beings within our reach.
I Am Strong
I spent my entire long run thinking about bodies, about strength, about the incredible way that we acquire it.
Bumblebee Blessing
A bumble bee crossed my field of vision, then returned in a double take.
She bobbed up and down, left to right. Slowly, she circled me, her buzzing growing louder, more persistent. Urgent.
In Good Company
I’m discovering the joy it is to live this life profoundly enjoying the company of one’s own self.
The Great Return
So today I focused on gentle movement, and working to shake out the lingering soreness that I still have from Sunday’s run. That will be the focus for tomorrow’s run too. And then it’s race day! I hope it feels like coming home.
This is Where it Gets Good
After a month of running every day, I’m finally starting to get into the distances where it really starts to get fun.
Friday Roundup | 11/21/2025
This week started off strong and rejuvenating and empowering, and petered out into pure exhaustion partway through. I kept with my commitment to show up for running every day, but left room for gentleness in terms of speed and distance. At this stage, my momentum with the habit matters much more than any particular outcome.
Meandering + Flexibility
I worked to loosen my body. To surrender to gravity, to the flow of the trail, to the rocks and roots freckling the path ahead. With each exhale, I relinquished a little more control. I told my body that I trust her. I told the earth that I trust her too.
Running with Eagles
I wouldn’t have even noticed the bald eagles today if they hadn’t called. I ran as they circled overhead, taking in the moment. They stayed with me for a long time.
Friday Roundup | 11/14/2025
This was a big week! I completed my longest run in ages, and the fourth week in my daily running project. I’m feeling some momentum start to catch!
Start Here
In a world of absurd uncertainty, all I can do is move forward towards the things that bring me to life. Nothing is guaranteed—not time, not relationships, not money. But this moment, the one I’m sitting in now? I can choose to infuse that with life.
Consistency
Rarely do I ever do something that’s remarkable when it stands on its own. But every day, I can do things that become remarkable when they add together over time.
Tidings of Community and Joy
We all met together for a trail run, then gathered for a presentation from Nike Pro Athlete and world-class trail runner Rachel Drake. What an honor to share a trail with her tonight.
In Which I Don't Have the Answers
It's okay if I don’t do everything. And even if I let go of these details that are stressing me out, I trust that it will come together right on time.
Kick it In
I wish I could wrap her up in a tight hug and tell her how deeply proud I am of her. That her running is enough. And that she’s enough with or without it.
I Feel So ALIVE
I used to say that the first month of running every day is miserable. The second month is neutral. And by the third month, you finally start to understand why people do it.
Friday Roundup | 11/7/2025
For a while now I’ve been exploring the idea of living a life that feels full but not busy. This week feels like an approach to that ideal.
In a world of absurd uncertainty, all I can do is move forward towards the things that bring me to life. Nothing is guaranteed—not time, not relationships, not money. But this moment, the one I’m sitting in now? I can choose to infuse that with life.
