One thing that I have always struggled with is how self-conscience I am about my weight. I have never been very overweight by any means, but I constantly compare myself to others (something I know I shouldn\’t do) and I feel bad about myself if I don\’t look a certain way. In my early years […]

What a week! It was a draining couple of days for sure. There was so much going on, it was difficult to process it all. The events that unfolded in Washington DC – literally down the street from where I used to work. Woke up Tuesday morning feeling like I had been hit by a
As we kiss 2020 goodbye, there are plenty of things I – and most of the world – wish we could leave behind. City shutdowns, quarantine, masks, and social distancing are all terms we are sick of hearing. Unfortunately, it looks like they will be staying with us in 2021 for a while, but hopefully

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, despite all the restrictions and uncertainty going on right now. I for one, had a great time with my family and Dan’s family as well. It was different than past years, but still good! On Thanksgiving day, we started the day as we usually do at the Reiffenberger

With Thanksgiving less than a week away I thought I’d take some time to think about what I am thankful for. After a year like 2020, it’s easy to get caught up in all the bad stuff and have a negative attitude, but there’s plenty still to celebrate! First of all, I am thankful for

For those of you I haven\’t told yet: I\’ve officially jumped on the crazy wagon. I\’ve decided that I\’m going to run my first FULL marathon in May of 2021. After spending the last year doing a lot more running and much less swimming, it pains me to admit that my dad may be right:
