Today’s Push Picks has been postponed on account of the series of unfortunate events that is my life since moving to Colorado. Maybe that’s dramatic. I’ve been told I'm dramatic. But I have never had luck like this. Bad luck, I mean. Here’s a snapshot of my last month and a half out west: a …
Where The Hell Are My Car Keys?
WHAT THE HELL ELSE COULD GO WRONG? Those words, in all caps, ran through my head over and over as I stood in King Soopers at the self-checkout station with bags in hand and car keys…nowhere to be found. I had just finished shopping and scanning and bagging and all I wanted to do was …
“Identity Can’t Be Tied To An Outcome.”
(A quick and dirty life update: YOUR GIRL IS SICK. I can't remember the last time I had a sore throat. Years, maybe? I eat healthy, exercise, drink lots of coffee water and mind my Ps and Qs. And so far that has saved me doctor visits and antibiotics. But I'm thinking the combination of …
Push Picks x NOV 10 17
I'll be damned if this post doesn't go out by MIDNIGHT on Friday, November 10th. I deemed Fridays Push Picks days so let's stay on schedule and DO THIS THING. But first, a life update/tangent/something I noticed: The reason I was almost tardy for this party? The weeks get away from me. I often forget what day …
A Running Rebirth
SHALANE’S. NYC. FINISH. THOUGH. In her own words: F*&# YES. I'm a few days late because this post took me awhile to write but...WOW. I cried for Shalane and for Meb and for the sport and the whole entire amazing day. Tears were all over the place. If you didn’t believe in the awesome power …
Push Picks x NOV 3 17
The first November Push Picks! And it's on time! I thought this one might go up late because this week has been totally nuts. I took a day of recovery to kinda sorta get my life back together after my second accident, then it was foot on the floor through early mornings and late nights …
Colorado Is Trying To Kill Me: Accident #2
My. Life. Is. In. Pieces. Maybe that is dramatic, but there is truth in it. Let me explain. Accident #1: Three weeks ago I was hit by a car while riding my bike. One of my shifters broke off, my leg was torn up, and the pedals were pretty jacked up. But, all things considered, I …

How I’m Keeping A (somewhat) Consistent Training Schedule With An Inconsistent Work/Life Schedule
This is a new one for me. I worked a fairly steady 9-5 the past five years. There were some earlier mornings, late nights, and weekend work that had to get done, but my previous company truly valued its employees, and I never felt burnt out or stretched too thin for too long. The job …
Push Picks x OCT 27 17
Winter is here, son! I’m real pumped. On Wednesday I was running around the mountains in a sports bra, and by Thursday afternoon the temps dropped down to the 30s and beautiful chunks of snow were falling from the sky. I love it so, so much. I wish I loved snow this much when I …
Part-time. Full heart.
THREE of the FOUR people (the most sad, yeah? LOL) who voted in my Twitter poll want to hear more about my job life right now. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. Here we go. Right now I have three part-time jobs. I work at Rapha Boulder, Athleta, and I’m starting some freelance jobs, like, today. …
