"Guess I'm not running or biking for awhile." It was one just one of the five million thoughts that flashed through my mind as my body tumbled over top of my handlebars and smashed against the pavement. Don't get me wrong, OK? "THANK GOD I AM ALIVE." was definitely the first. But as sat there …
Push Picks x OCT 13 17
After really talking up my Push Picks posts...I totally missed last week. Do I get a hall pass, though? Because not only had I just moved 1,800 miles and two time zones to the left, but I also couldn't remember where I put my laptop or my brain. 🙏 But I've, thankfully, found both and we are …
My First Colorado Snowfall
If you've ever gone to sleep on Christmas Eve without a trace of snow in sight and woken up the next morning to a fresh, powdery blanket covering every inch of grass, sidewalk, and rooftop...you know the magic. Sunday night we all knew it was coming; everyone in the area knew it was coming. Our …
Biking & Hiking At Elevation Is Humbling, to say the least
If I had to rate my fitness, I'd give myself a 9/10. Because back in Florida, I rode fast with the early morning boys' group, and logged some long weekend running miles in the hot sun. I destroyed set after set of burpees, and threw around some weights during HIIT workouts at the gym. Then. Then …

My Last Ten Dollar Bill
Just a few months ago I would have given anything to do what I did this week: drop everything, move out west, and run mountain trails with the cows. This guy didn't budge as I ran by—I was just inches from him! I guess they are so used to people by now that they mind …
Push Picks x SEP 29 17
This week's Push Picks is coming to you from my laptop propped up on an ExtraSpace Storage moving box. BECAUSE I AM FREAKING MOVING TO COLORADO IN TWO DAYS. I have been looking forward to this day for awhile—I've had dreams about it—but it didn't feel real until I was turning in my badge at …
Maybe It Will All Work Out
I can't help but take everything I see lately as a sign for something. Just last week my grocery bill came out to $31.00 EVEN. And over the past month I've been seeing the same non-Florida license plates on different cars. WTH?! I convinced myself bad fortune was coming my way. I don't truly believe in …
“There Are Coffee Shops Everywhere” and other Metaphors For Leaving A Place You Love and Being OK With It
Ali and I had coffee again. This Ali. The one who dropped all that amazing universe talk on me last weekend. (See below.) << Follow me on Twitter for more stories just like these. >> We chatted about work and school and fitness and figuring out how to create lives we can be proud of. …
Push Picks x SEP 22 17
This Push Animal is back—and so is the URL. I took it and myself offline for about a month because it’s been absolutely bananas over here. Big life changes are in the works, which make me super scared and thrilled all at once. I need change, and I need it now. (Keep reading for more …
I Found Rest Again
Ahh, rest. Monday was my rest day and is always my rest day. Let’s dig into that for a sec. There’s this group I love called Rest Day Brags. Find them here on Twitter and Instagram. They’re a bunch of misfits getting the Internet all riled up over rest, recovery, and how to appropriately brag …
