Someone should really revoke my social media privileges. You know how some people hide behind a computer screen posting horrible things to people? Things they would never say in real life? Like cowards? I know. Hate those people. Someone did that Monday night. On the social medias. They provoked the Muscular White Gut behind the … Continue reading Please Revoke My Social Media Privileges

Who Can Make Me Hurt More
My body would like to know what, exactly, I think I'm doing awake again. At 3am. On Spring Break. But I went to Muscular White Gut's class at PlayFITStayFIT yesterday, and afterwards Dorothy-ish asked me if his class was harder than Tiny Brazilian's. (A quick sidenote on nicknames. I'm horrible at coming up with them. … Continue reading Who Can Make Me Hurt More
Monsoon on the Mountain
Just got home. Sun's coming out. It wasn't out 3 hours ago when I was climbing to the top of a mountain . Do you know what was out? Tornado warnings. We'd planned this Banquet of Friendship trip to Christmas Mountain weeks ago. And at the Blue Ridge yesterday, GJB reaffirmed commitment from his core … Continue reading Monsoon on the Mountain
Run Blue Ridge
It's Blue Ridge Marathon day. All my friends posted their race outfits yesterday, and I'm sitting here at 4:30 in the morning downing coffee and digging through three laundry baskets full of unfolded clothes trying to find a running bra and a left sock. Seriously. A left sock. Because Feetures and Balega don't think I'm … Continue reading Run Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge 10k Party
This pic is of last year's Blue Ridge Double Marathon. See those shoes? Those shoes were only about two months old there. They're over a year old now. They've seen a lot of miles. The Blue Ridge Double, Conquer the Cove 25k, Night Train 50k, 6,000 feet up Mt. Mitchel. Alllll of the ridiculously fun … Continue reading Blue Ridge 10k Party
Volunteer of the Year
I'm not allowed to touch my phone. Until I get to my volunteer spot. Because Goatfinder didn't think Josh understood. He doesn't read my blog. He hasn't run trails with me. He really only ever sees me at a finish line. When I've successfully navigated a race course. With the help of a LOT of … Continue reading Volunteer of the Year
How My Introvert Brain Works
I've been reading about myself lately. I'm a desperate introvert. I need down time. I can become a pretty awful human if I'm forced to people too much for too long without any down time. I will go into full shut down mode right in the middle of a conversation. It seriously just hits out … Continue reading How My Introvert Brain Works
Two Trail Rules
I have two trail rules: don't follow me and don't leave me alone. And also bring snacks. I don't know why I have to keep explaining this. I don't know where I'm going. Ever. If you're ever wondering, "Should I follow her? Does she know the way? Is she good?" The answer is no. I … Continue reading Two Trail Rules
Except I AM Strong
I just told some random dudes that I'm not strong. I don't even know how it really happened. One minute I'm watching them struggle to carry a box. The next minute I hear someone saying, "Want some help? I mean, I'm not strong or anything, but I can offer moral support." Wait. That sounded like … Continue reading Except I AM Strong
St. Patrick’s Day Christmas
It's testing season at one of my jobs. And it's springtime at one of my other jobs. The job where I have to monitor kids on probation. (Hint: kids get crazy when the weather gets good...) I'm tired. And stressed. And probably a little resentful of single parenting right now. For several reason... Anyway. I … Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Christmas
