Let me preface this by saying, I have no pictures. I was a terrible blogger and took zero pictures of what ended up being a very fun and productive weekend. I wish I did, but I want to write it all...

Long Branch Half Training Week 7

Training… it’s going. That’s really all I can say about this cycle. I haven’t been paying any attention to pace, and I stopped doing the speedwork and tempo runs a few weeks ago. Shockingly (hah) I’m...

I’ll keep this post short and sweet as the house hunting saga has been particularly long-winded. After our offer was accepted and we went “under contract” we had the option of scheduling a home...

Day in the Life: Jersey City

I had a lot of fun in college. Consequently, it’s hard to really remember much of that time. Kidding. Seriously though, I have a bizarrely strong memory for facts, figures, names and faces, but I have...

Wallflowers

Are you ready for another house project update? I feel like I devote so much of my free time to the house that it just deserves a little blog attention. All things considered, we were pretty lucky when...

12 years

I can’t believe it’s been 12 years. I still felt a knot in my stomach when I woke up today. I still cried listening to the radio coverage of the various memorials taking place across the country. I’m...

That’s why I’m marrying you.

This is going to be mushy. I’ll try and keep it brief. You’ve been warned. The background is: I’m making an effort to keep up with the day to day more. I get into these ruts where I find myself willing...
