  • Between a hysterectomy, shingles, preparing myself to provide care/support for a loved one with health issues, and general life stuff, it’s no secret that 2025 is kicking my ass every which way. I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom several times this year. My dentist even suggested Botox to help…

  • It happened anyway

    Writing that last post was so cathartic that here I am again. In my earlier post, I talked some about anxiety and how that manifested in my body this year, and it got me thinking… I’ve spent the last 25 years doing my best to protect myself. To the point…

  • Blocked

    So, this is my 89048597th attempt at regular blogging. It’s like I feel the need to write and get my thoughts out, but I also don’t want people to actually read my honest thoughts. So instead, I’ve just been sitting here stewing in anxiety for the last year and posting…

  • 2025 LA Marathon Weeks 2 and 3

    Week 2 Huh…literally can’t find any info on Strava for my runs/walks this week. I know it was a ‘light’ week for me (endo belly issues) but I can’t imagine I didn’t run at all…but maybe that’s exactly what happened. And this is exactly why I need to do this…

  • 2025 LA Marathon Training, Week 1

    Long time, no post. Whatever, I expect nothing less from myself at this point. Anyway, I’m 25 weeks out from running the 2025 LA Marathon – my third LA Marathon and my eighth marathon. Most marathon training plans are 16-20 weeks, but I’m following a hybrid plan which is a…

  • 2024 – the year in which I attempt to become unstuck

    First of all, is unstuck even a word? I mean, I’m on a computer (obviously) so it’s not like I can’t google it, but I just don’t care enough to do so. Anyway… I stopped making New Year’s resolutions years ago. At least, as long as you don’t count my…

  • That time I thought it was a great idea to attempt two marathons within 6 months of each other, and other brief life updates

    Annual update time… I thought I posted a blog about my experience finishing the 2022 Chicago Marathon (barely,) but apparently I never actually published it. Not shocking, given my general lack of posting. Since then, I’ve completed the LA Marathon (also, barely) and I start training this week for the…

  • Hello, 40!

    Well, hello there! It’s time for the biannual life update that possibly one person will read. Lots of things have happened in the last 8? 12? Months since I last updated this little corner of the internet. I turned 40 in February – something I’ve been dreading since I was,…

  • You’ve come a long way…you almost middle-aged person, you! : an adulting update

    Wow…only five months between my last post and this post – breaking records here, people! I avoid writing here because it requires me to be vulnerable about my life, and/or requires me to share things about people in my life that probably don’t belong on the internet. Plus, I have…

  • Done. The pandemic burnout post.

    I have finally hit my pandemic/quarantine/lockdown/social distancing limit. It only took 51 weeks to fully hit, but man, I feel like I just crashed up against 500,000 pounds of bricks. I should probably preface all of this by saying that in terms of being affected by the pandemic, I am…
