Race Recap: Albuquerque 10K 2023

With Colfax Half Marathon training in full swing, I decided to add this 10K to my training calendar on a down week. It took a lot of inner strength to NOT sign up for the half marathon, which would've caused me to jump up in my mileage prematurely. I think it is the years of … Continue reading Race Recap: Albuquerque 10K 2023 →

I registered for the Disney World Dopey Challenge in 2024!

It’s World Bipolar Day 2023

Bipolar disorder affects nearly 1% of the US population. It is more than just mood swings: it includes a dizzying array of symptoms that are reasonably disproportionate. A lot of folks go misdiagnosed for years -- typically for depression or anxiety -- because they seek help during those lows. In the highs, it appears like … Continue reading It’s World Bipolar Day 2023 →

Being couched for long periods of time is no fun at all for a runner. I've thought a lot about getting a treadmill desk but they are just generally so expensive. My first treadmill desk was a platform that strapped onto the treadmill handlebars. It was definitely sturdy, but my neck and wrists hurt so … Continue reading DIY treadmill desk →
