A little sunshine in the rain
It is January, in Seattle and that means there is more hours of darkness than sunlight and outside is gray, brisk, and damp. This should be no surprise for me because Seattle is where I have always called home but never have I wanted a blue sky in January more than this last Sunday.
Goodbye 2017 – Bring it 2018
This year, I think I found my sweet spot of running one marathon a year and at least one half - with one of those a little farther from home than the other. After running Leavenworth I decided to challenge myself with something I though I would never do - run a spring marathon but this training, so far, has been a whole new ball game.
Running Leavenworth
Everything about the Leavenworth Marathon was different than anything I have ever run. But I have a feeling this will not be the last time I run this route. Looking forward to next year Leavenworth! #runabetterlife #BrightOrangeShoes #DONE #THANKYOU

Run free
Most of my moments of clarity come while on a run. Problems work themselves out, decisions are made, and stress is dissolved. Other than myself, my #BrightOrangeShoes are the only things that remain a constant in these moments. It is because of them I am able to #runabetterlife.
With Love
The prior tributes have been about one person. This tribute is special. I am addressing 2 people because when I think about one, the other is right there by their side. They both were able to turn "FYI - I have plans" moment into an "I can't thank you enough for being there" moment.
Reasons to Run
There are 5 major reasons why I continue to run, even when I think I hate it sometimes.
