Yoga Pants Life

**I started this post several weeks ago, but somehow couldn’t bring myself to finish it. I’m not really sure why. Anyway, here it is – a really long, boring, drawn-out post about my recent running mishaps. If I was posting about my relationship with running on Facebook, my current relationship…

So…long time, no blog. What can I say? Everything is mostly fine. Life is busy, but not more so than usual. I don’t have real excuses for why I haven’t posted recently (but, really…when did I ever regularly post in the first place?) but I think a lot of it…

2017 was a shit sandwich for just about everyone in my life and while I wouldn’t say it was my best year, my year was actually pretty darn good (minus the start of Baxter’s seizures.) I went in to 2018 with really high hopes, but so far, 2018 can suck…

Whelp, the dumpster fire of a year that was 2017 is finally over. It actually wasn’t my worst year ever (that honor belongs to 2001, followed by 2011…I’m not looking forward to 2021) but it wasn’t exactly the greatest. So many people I know had a shitty 2017 and it…

So, in my most recent (I think?) post, I talked about the possibility of running the LA Marathon in 2018. I’ve had about a month to think and reflect (and get over the Dodgers’ heartbreaking World Series loss) and I think the best thing to do is postpone running the…

I must confess, I’m taking the Dodger’s heartbreaking World Series loss way harder than I should. I’ve always been a fan of the Dodgers – I can remember going to games as a kid and I went to many games over the course of the 7 years I lived in…

I’m not even sure what to make of October. I feel like I blinked and it was over. I had a lot of awesome moments in October, from completing the Chicago Marathon on what felt like the hottest day ever (yes, I know, it wasn’t record breaking or anything, but…

You guys – I finished the Chicago Marathon!!!!! I wish I finished faster, but given how hot it was and how awful the last 6 weeks of training were, it’s a miracle that I crossed the finish line to begin with.  Most importantly, I had fun. So, so much fun.…

I think there was a part 1 to this when I bought my car back in March. Anyway, after nearly 5 years of rockin’ a 16 GB iPhone 5s, I finally broke down and got the iPhone 8. The 5s was always out of storage and has slowly been deleting…

Oh my word – the past few weeks have flown by…it’s hard to believe that we are exactly ONE MONTH away from the Chicago Marathon. Like, I can’t even right now you guys. I can’t even. Life has been busy lately and I’m exhausted and feel like I’m barely making…
