In college I was introduced to the concept of the 5 love languages and the personality quiz you can take to find out which of the five is your primary love language. I was thinking about the quiz recently and decided to read the book “The 5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman to better understand… Continue reading Are You Speaking My Language?
A common phrase passed around the running community (or any sports/fitness community for that matter) is “hitting the wall”. Specifically a mental wall. That moment when you just cannot get your body to go any further or push any harder. This is when people give up. This is the barrier between reaching your goal and… Continue reading Getting Past the Mental Wall
The thought of doing a blog post about a new year’s resolutions isn’t original, but I still think it’s important. But even more important than setting the goal by January 1st is making a plan to follow through with what you actually want to do. I remember new years eve about four years ago, sitting… Continue reading Another Blog Post about Resolutions
I want to be a living example of the phrase “it gets better”, because if you saw me in 2017, you probably wouldn’t recognize me in 2018. Let me explain. 2017 was not my best year. Even though a ton of great things happened to me in 2017 (I graduated from college, got my first… Continue reading Year Over Year Recap
I talk a lot about running and preparing for races, but something that is equally important to pushing yourself during training is making sure you take time to recover and take an off season.

Now, it’s very clear that I am in the weird confusing point of life where I’m not sure which direction is up. Some days are great, other days are not so great, and the middle days are a wash of snacks, work, and workouts. In a city as overwhelming as New York, it’s easy to… Continue reading Mastering Your Mindset
Part of this weird lifestage called “adulthood” is watching and being involved in romantic relationships. Post-college, these things take on a whole new meaning. You start seeing friends move in with their significant others, things start to get more serious, you now understand the meaning of “wedding season”. The whole ordeal is quite a lot… Continue reading The Good, The Bad, and The Sappy….Yes, I’m Talking About Relationships
Let me start this post out by saying I am incredibly lucky. I have the most supportive, wonderful friends who remind me frequently how much they all love me. I really hope that everyone can have this in their lives and know that feeling of unwavering support from a group of badass women. It is… Continue reading Find Your Tribe: Women Supporting Women
Living in the big city, it can be hard to find yourself on the winning side of life. Today, it started pouring rain right as I left the office, and then a cab drove by me too quickly and I got covered in puddle water….. You get the point. So when you find a win,… Continue reading Every Win is a Win, No Matter How Small
