Find your happy


With the holidays over and winter cold finally setting in, it is sometimes hard to find things that make us feel happy or content with where we are. 

For me, I have started out the year with an awesome 30-day Yoga Camp from the amazing Yoga with Adriene. It is wonderful to do yoga every day. I am really enjoying the process and taking this time for myself each day. 

I practice yoga in our spare bedroom upstairs and it is small and cozy.. Except for one thing. 


This painting has been with us for the last 8ish year or more. My husband was gifted it from someone when he moved into his apartment right out of college and it has been with us ever since. I love the bright colors in it.. but other than that I have always found it a little odd. I have been saying this for years but we never settled on something to replace it. 

Until now. In the fall, we grabbed a bunch of pallets for a volunteer project for Girls on the Run and I, being the hoarder talented crafter I am, grabbed extras "just in case." Now that the buzz of the holidays is over, I was able to focus on what I wanted said replacement piece of art to look like. 

I won't bore you with the details of getting from point A to B, unless I get requests, but when all was said and done we had a wonderful piece to cheer up the spare bedroom, or as my husband put it "your yoga room." 


I am so happy with how everything matched up and compliments each other. The oranges play very nice together to give this room a cheery and relaxing feel... exactly what I was looking for!!!

Is there a place or a room in your home that you consider YOUR happy place?

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
