Coming up: the Orca Half

On September 21, Nick and I are running his first half marathon! Training has felt...spotty. I made the mistake of not writing down a specific plan on my calendar, so I was mostly keeping track of my workouts via Strava. As a result, I'm not actually sure how solid my training was! So, in an attempt to boost my confidence for race day, I'm looking back on the last few weeks to see how my training actually went.

Fit by 40: 1 Year In

...and 6 months to go!

In September 2024, I finally joined Matt's gym. It took me a few months to get into a rhythm of attending, but by early 2025 I had found a schedule that worked for me and was going even when Matt couldn't join me. I've now had 12 body scans, a whole year's worth, and I want to take a look at the changes I've made, both physically and mentally.

Annette Lake Trail

Matt and I had an unexpected long weekend together, and of course, that means hiking! I had already told my friend Melissa I was up for a hike, so it ended up being the three of us. I had run long the day before and my legs were toast, so I wanted something not-too-challenging but that would still be entertaining for Matt, who seems to want to tackle harder hikes each time.
