As you all may remember, a little over two weeks ago I rolled my ankle on an acorn/pinecone/who knows what on my long run. Pretty much we all can agree it was probably not my smartest choice to continue running another 5 miles after I pulled something in my foot on mile 3. I was … Continue reading
I feel like I say this every time I’ve written lately, but life has gotten really busy. I thought that cutting out a night of dodgeball each week would free up extra time in my weeknights, but in true Katie fashion, I’ve really just used it as an excuse to take on more non-dodgeball activities. … Continue reading
Happy Friday everyone!! I have some awesome goodies to share with you all today, but I need to start off with a completely unrelated story. So as I was finishing up work yesterday, I was feeling focused and productive and made myself a little To-Do list for when I got home. It’s nice having Thursday nights … Continue reading
Happy Friday! Unlike recent weeks, I wasn’t SUPER OMG DESPERATE for this week to be over. It’s been a relatively quiet week at work (busy for sure, but not OMG-wanna-rip-my-hair-out stressful) and I have kept it similarly quiet at home — I’ve been laying low and been in bed by 10:30 every night! I decided on … Continue reading

Happy Friday everyone! I really can’t believe how fast the weeks go by when my workdays are busy. When getting through each day feels like a huge accomplishment, it kinda sneaks up on you when 5 are already under your belt! I’m linking up with Katie this week to share my Friday Favorites! Enjoy! Favorite … Continue reading
Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons and her Thinking out Loud link-up! Rather than simply thinking out loud like the topic suggests, I am taking a page out of my dear friend Becky’s book and using the link-up as an opportunity to reveal a confession or two. My confession: I am … Continue reading

I’ve never thought of myself as much of a stickler for routine. I’m definitely more of a “go with the flow” type of person, and I love a good surprise. However, in recent months I’ve found myself falling into quite a few rituals, and many of them involve my running and fitness habits. Because I’m … Continue reading
