I had a great race at the 2018 Hudepohl 14K Brewery Run last weekend! It was my first 14k, so no matter what my time was it was going to be my PR. That said, I was very happy (can you tell?) with my time. 🙂
Fall Decor + A Birthday Mirror

BR: American War by Omar El Akkad
American War by Omar El Akkad was another one of my favorite book from my 2018 book list. (Uncommon Type is still my favorite.) Although it’s thick and heavy, it makes for a great airplane read.

Celebrate Every Mile Medal Holder
Completing a race, no matter what the mileage, is an always an accomplishment! I hear and say “it was just [insert miles]” way too often! Why don’t we give ourselves more credit? That’s why when I started researching medal holders, I landed on the “Celebrate Every Mile” motto.
