Happy July friends! Since it has been so long since I’ve written, the best way to jump back in seems like a Currently post. Currently… tapering for Ironman Canada 70.3, which is just over a week away! I’ve been back training with Coach Angie from Team Tri Life for the past month. It would […]
Year of Running 2016
2016… It started off with a bang and is ending with a fizzle. In January I was crushing high mileage weeks in preparation for February’s Phoenix Marathon. In December I’m slowly building fitness after taking an extended break after Ironman Boulder. Even though running is a bit of a challenge right now, 2016 deserves to be remembered for some […]
Currently…(July 2016 ed.)
Writing has definitely taken a back seat over the last few months. Between training for Ironman Boulder and other life stuff like grad school applications and an upcoming move it feels like there hasn’t been much time for anything else. There are so many words and thoughts I want to share. I’ve written the sentences […]
Currently…(June 2016 ed.)
Somehow or other…here we are…almost ready to march on into July. Where is the year going? Reading Devon Yanko’s Western States 100 race report. Boy 100 miles is a long way to run…and you can go through so many ups and downs over the day. A great read on how she overcame doubt and had to […]
Currently…(May 2016 ed.)
Wow…June is almost here! How was your May? Here is what I am currently up to as this month draws to a close… Reading Cleaving by Julie Powell. I’m not too far into the book but I’m not sure how I feel about it so far. I’m not feeling a lot of love or sympathy for […]
Currently…(April 2016 ed.)
Wow…April is drawing to a close and May is almost here. April just flew by for me! Here is what I’m up to currently. Reading the New York Times articles on Julie Miller, the triathlete accused of cheating at Ironman Canada in Whistler last year. Read part 1 HERE and part 2 HERE where there is […]
Currently…(March 2016 ed.)
Is anyone else feeling like life is speeding by so far in 2016? Here is what I am currently up to as March draws to a close… Reading Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. I picked this book up at the end of January and ideally I would have liked […]
Currently… (January 2016 ed.)
Currently in January… Reading A Life Without Limits: A World Champion’s Journey by Chrissie Wellington. It is amazing to read the story behind one of the best triathletes and how she got in to the sport. I’m very nearly done the book which will have me on track to finish at least one book per month this […]

I saw this meme on Amber’s blog so thought I would play along! Currently… reading A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout. This is Miss Lindhout’s memoir of her kidnapping in Somalia and her fifteen months in captivity. I’ve had the opportunity to listen to her speak and she is such a poised and […]
