I climbed 3,000 feet the other day, just to soak up the sunshine. Some might get their Vitamin D fix with coffee on the porch or a stroll around the block but, alas, moderation has never been my thing. I went 3,000 something feet up...just to get that much closer to it. If you don't …
A Familiar Face In Boulder
I'm nearing 30 <<GULP>> and I'm not afraid to admit I still need my mom sometimes. Really, I need my mom always because I still suck at the basics of being an adult, like understanding the 401k and how the hell to sew a button back onto a shirt. But this weekend felt especially necessary because …
What We Talked About Over 65 Miles
I only wanted 40 miles. And I thought 3 hours was my limit for the day. But when the sun is shining and the roads are wide open and when you can talk through and work through what's been stuck in your head and your heart with a girlfriend—and when you just don't do moderation—65 …
Push Picks x APR 6 18
I think I see some flurries happening outside. COME ON, SPRING. In Florida, every day is just another day in terms of weather. We got rain and thunderstorms and flooding and all that, and in the Summer, it rains every afternoon for less than an hour...but then the beautiful sunshine emerges and we're back to …
I Biked, I Hiked, & I Cried But Like Only Just A Little Bit.
It’s overwhelming, this place. Colorado. Especially for someone like me who didn’t grow up in the mountains or anywhere near them; for someone like me who has only vacationed overseas and at sea level. I loved my northeast childhood and my southeast adulthood and my tropical vacations. But watching the sun hang above the Flatirons …

Push Picks x MAR 30 18
Ten beautiful hours of sleep later... I always look forward to Fridays because they're one of my work-from-home freelance days. Which means I don't set an alarm on Thursday night, and pajamas are my uniform I feel like it. Praise yeezus. One of my neighbors just walked by with her dog; out for a morning …
I Want To _______ So I Need To _______
I've been down on myself and my riding lately. When I say lately I mean the past four months. ^^^ This is my bike. I love it. When I want to ride it's freezing or snowing or dark or the roads are wet or not yet plowed or I'm working. Except Saturday. It's my one day …
If You’re Going Through It
I really went through it the other night. Again. It’s been over a year since I experienced the most difficult breakup and goodbye of my life. I’m through the worst of it. The laying on the floor sobbing into the thickest quilts I own. The foggy head and heart. The isolation pretending to be independence. …
Outside, Eats, Mountains + Cycling
Being outside does things to me. Soul-soothing, endorphin-pumping, damn-grateful kinda things. I think that’s why Florida did it for me for so long. I was outside every day no matter what—for morning runs or bike rides, for farmers’ market strolling, for evening and weekend walks, for some stair-running and for people-watching at my favorite coffee …
Instacart Is Too Easy
I used to think grocery delivery services were a waste of time. Which is totally stupid and backwards because the purpose is actually to save time. I thought they were a waste of money and I thought grocery shopping wasn’t a big enough hassle to warrant someone doing it for you. But. Like so many …
