Have a little Friday coffee chat with me, won't ya? Is it Friday? I have lost track of the days. I’ve spent the last 72 hours quarantined in my apartment with a nasty cold that no amount of over-the-counter medicine can abate, and today is my first day back at work this week since Monday. …
New Life Chapters + Lightning vs. Sabres Hockey Game
Monday night, on our way from Orlando to the Lightning vs. Sabres game in Tampa Bay, I added a video to my Instagram story of the fire-orange sunset silhouetting downtown Tampa’s skyline. It was just 1 of about 1,000 more I had seen while living in Tampa from 2009-2017. I wrote: “Missed you, pretty city.” …

Push Picks x NOV 4 19
Monday! How’s everyone feeling with that extra hour of sleep? ^^^ Saturday night's sunset was pretty fantastic. I am actually feeling pretty fantastic today, but then again, Mondays are typically my most refreshed day of the week thanks to a no-alarms weekend. If I’m not racing on Saturday or Sunday and didn’t make early plans …
As I’m Nearing 30
We’re just a couple weeks out from the big 3-0 on October 3rd, and do you know something? I’m so fucking ready to be out of my 20s. Two years ago, I was terrified of this milestone. I couldn’t believe I was already deep into my late 20s and nearing the next decade. Aging! The …
Weekend Running + Riding: Allenspark + A Ride to Spruce Confections
Another big weekend in the books. I’m not great at holding back once Friday night rolls around. I have all the time and almost none of the responsibilities on Saturday and Sunday, so I try and cram in all the activities, which leaves me feeling like I need another weekend to recover from the weekend …

Road to DPT: CU Transfer Session
Am I really doing this? I thought as our tour group strolled like a quiet and timid new student parade between the ornate concrete buildings on CU Boulder’s suburban campus. One baby faced student after another passed by with their parents in tow carrying university paraphernalia and plastic bookstore bags—inside, no doubt, was a Buffaloes sweatshirt …
Weekend Things: Trail Running + MOVING
One of the many things I like about my current job is that we get one work-from-home day per month. It’s a little treat I look forward to at the beginning of the month, especially since my commute is long and somehow sipping coffee on my porch is more delicious than at my standing desk. …
Weekend Riding: Coffee & Rabbit Mountain
“I don’t know if Boulder is for me.” A friend and I were on a bike ride on Sunday morning to enjoy some miles in the sunshine before we get more snow this week, but, more importantly, to get coffee. He moved here around the same time I did almost two years ago, and we …
A Friday Morning Coffee Ride & Thoughts On Friendship
Last week our office was closed for Good Friday. This new agency I’m at usually shuts down on Fridays and/or Mondays before and after holiday weekends, so a short week and a long weekend felt like such a treat. Earlier in the week I made bike + coffee plans with a friend in Boulder for …

My First Week Back In Advertising: 5 AM Runs, Spilled Coffee, Desk Lunches
This past week was a big one for me. I started my new job and re-joined the advertising world full-time as a copywriter. It's been a huge life change for me, and this about sums up week one... To give you an idea, and help me remember, I decided to document my first five days. It's …
