Hot Chocolate Run 5k

Let it be known that one of my favorite things in the world is joining a friend for their first race! On Sunday, it was time to join Nick for his first 5k...and he's already talking about what comes next!

Running, addictive? Who knew.

What I read this month: February 2025

I barely squeezed a book in this month. February is always a busier month because of my birthday, but this February especially felt slammed. Still, a book is a book.

Books read this month: 1

The wake-up call

When I joined the gym back in September 2024, I didn't have a real goal in mind other than to build some muscle. In November, I got on board with my sister's goal to be in the best shape of our lives by 40. But it wasn't until late January that I finally realized I needed to do more than workout consistently: it was really time for me to take my diet into account.

And for the first time in my life, I'm doing it for the right reasons.
