Day 2: After a restless night and a joke of a continental breakfast, we headed out for day two of the RSVP. My legs were tight after the miles the day before and I was slow for what felt like the entire day. The first rest stop was only 15 miles in but I was … More RSVP (Ride From Seattle to Vancouver and Party) Day 2
I’m a runner, not a biker. However, earlier this year for reasons I could not recall recently, I had decided I wanted to do something to challenge myself – that I could accomplish. After failing class after class in school I was ready to prove to myself that I could accomplish something – ANYTHING. That … More RSVP (Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party) Day 1
Last year Matt did the Tulip Pedal, a bike ride up in La Conner, WA where they have the annual Skagit Tulip Festival every year.

Last week I was talking to a friend of mine who was asking me for running advice.

You know what’s crazy is how much time being in school has taken up. I’m not complaining, I seriously love school, I’m doing well and learning a lot. But let me tell you – stress level = CRAZY. There is always SO MUCH SHIT TO DO. For example – this week: Monday I had my … More Halloween & a 5k
I guess it goes without saying – I live in a rainy city. Seattle is known for its rain but it’s usually a nice light mist or drizzle. Not the torrential downpour that most movies and out of towners like to romanticize us with. Yesterday was my very first day of school. It was also … More Bike Rides in Rain City
My last day of work was Friday the 12th and though I no longer have a job, I have been staying quite busy. More on that later. I am finally registered for my NAC classes at school and paid tuition online this morning. If you recall from my earlier post Changes, I’ve quit my full … More Bike Rides and Registration
So I’m going to go on a random tangent here – only because I hit the gym this morning for the first time since last week (I’ve been running and biking ok!) and thanks to my friend Tricia‘s blog where she talks about fitness most days, I was inspired to put down not my own … More 10 Annoying Gym Habits/Thing I Just Don’t Understand
