Wow, Streaktember day 29 is here! Some days, the biggest victory isn’t how far you run, but the fact that you laced up and showed up. Today was one of those days. Even though I went to bed early and woke up refreshed, getting on the treadmill felt like a tug of war. My body…
Today marks Day 28 of my Streaktember challenge, and honestly, I feel amazing. Unlike other days filled with twists and surprises, this one was calm and smooth from start to finish.

It means showing up, even when life throws in twists you didn’t plan for. And today, Streaktember Day 26, was definitely one of those twisty days. The…
This morning started very early, but not in the way I had planned. I woke up with the intention of doing my Streaktember day 25 run first thing in the morning, but my baby also decided to wake up at 4 am and refused to go back to sleep. As any parent knows, when your little one…
