(Warning: in this blogpost, I talk about losing pets through one means or another. If this will be saddening to you, tune back in tomorrow for a cute story about how pets do crazy things and bring joy to our lives) For me, the twelve-month span from April 2019 to March 2020 was the year… Continue reading The Year of the Rabbits

Back Again
Well… I’m out of practice. The last few years have been strange ones. Maybe everyone feels that way about their mid-twenties. But as I left college and headed out into the world, writing for the public became more challenging. How much was too much to share? Where did the lines of my professional and personal… Continue reading Back Again
The Joy of Cross-Training
I haven’t been training for any races in particular of late. After getting through Cappadocia last fall and then all the moving and traveling of December-February, I’m trying to just enjoy running as an opportunity to de-stress and think again. At the same time, I’ve been diving into other forms of fitness. It’s fun to… Continue reading The Joy of Cross-Training
Race Report | Cappadocia Ultra Trail 60k
“You’re not afraid, you’re not afraid. Do not be afraid. You will not be afraid.” I supposed I should have realized when I signed up for an ultramarathon in the mountains it might come into conflict with my fear of heights at some point. However, hours into the race with shaky legs and a fuzzy… Continue reading Race Report | Cappadocia Ultra Trail 60k
Newborn Shoot | Baby Ray
Introducing Baby Ray! A week after my friends had this sweet little baby, they asked if I could come over and take some pictures. I happily obliged. This is my first time doing a photo shoot with a newborn. Thankfully my little subject was both cooperative and very expressive. This kid seriously makes the best… Continue reading Newborn Shoot | Baby Ray
I Think I Used To Be A Runner
I have long been reticent to use the term “runner” to describe myself. As a whole I tend to avoid naming my hobbies as identities. I write, but am slow to say I am a “writer.” I take photos, but I don’t know if I am necessarily a “photographer.” Over the course of last year… Continue reading I Think I Used To Be A Runner
Iznik | Part 3 (Where I Drone On Endlessly About Details No One Cares About)
PART 1 | PART 2 Saturday morning I managed to pull everything together and get to the ferry station before the early one left at 8:15am. Unfortunately, it was already completely full. So I booked a ticket on the next one (11:30) and camped out at a coffee shop to chill. They had a drink… Continue reading Iznik | Part 3 (Where I Drone On Endlessly About Details No One Cares About)
Iznik | Part 2 (Where I Make Bad Decisions and Try Not to Cripple Myself)
Leading up to the race I had some grand hopes and aspirations for my training. Well, not that grand, but I hoped to at least train. Two of the three weeks leading up to the race I was traveling, and trying to maintain a running schedule when you’re in a different country is pretty challenging.… Continue reading Iznik | Part 2 (Where I Make Bad Decisions and Try Not to Cripple Myself)
Iznik | Part 1 (Where I Almost Drop Out of My First Race Without Even Trying)
The first running post on the blog, appropriately, is about my first race. Now I’m not a COMPLETE novice when it comes to running. I’ve actually been running regularly for at least three or four years now. What changed this year is I decided to start putting more work into it, with the hopes of… Continue reading Iznik | Part 1 (Where I Almost Drop Out of My First Race Without Even Trying)
