A solid 5 mile run on this beautiful day. #running #runner

They say "Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." In reality, Monday is 1% checking emails and 99% wondering if the coffee beans can hear your prayers. If you see me staring at a wall for 10 minutes, I’m not procrastinating—I’m "buffering". Thankfully, I am off today. Who else is off?

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." — Barack Obama. Happy President's Day to all the former presidents, and NOT the current guy.

Current status: My coffee needs a coffee before I can even think about being a 'functional member of society.' ☕️🫠 ​Happy Monday to everyone else currently negotiating with their alarm clock. Yes, I do have today off 😊

I am glad it didn't snow like they said it would overnight because I enjoyed running in the beautiful weather yesterday. Who is ready for spring temps, especially here CT and all of New England? #runner #running

Here is your permission slip for the weekend: You are allowed to say "no" without a long explanation. ​You are allowed to rest even if your to-do list isn't finished. ​You are allowed to change your mind about something that no longer serves you. Which one of these do you need most right now?

​I told myself I’d "learn to love it," but I think I’m just staying for the post-run endorphins—and even those feel like they’re seeing other people lately. #running

​Currently 'preparing for the week' by staring at my open planner until the ink starts to blur. It’s not procrastination; it’s a staring contest with my own poor life choices.

​Any dish left in a bedroom for more than 48 hours is no longer yours; it belongs to the ecosystem. If it develops a pulse or starts asking for its own Wi-Fi password, it is your son's responsibility to name it and claim it as a dependent. #parenting

A soft reminder for whoever needs to hear it today. You don’t have to "crush" your goals every single day. Some days, the goal is just to hydrate and be kind to yourself. Both versions of you are worthy. What’s one small thing you’re doing for yourself today? #mentalhealth

The way my foam roller looks at me when I get home is threatening. #runner #running #runsky

Rule #1: The Alarm is a Suggestion.
Set it early. Not to get a head start, but to experience the profound joy of hitting snooze multiple times. It’s your first win of the week, no matter how fleeting. Savor that micro-rebellion.😅 #motivation

​Is it a "Runners High" or just oxygen deprivation? Either way, I’m 5 minutes away from ghosting this hobby and becoming a "professional nap enthusiast." #runner #running ##runsky

Raise your hand if you are ready for the fun holidays to begin. Bring on St. Patrick's Day! 🍀

​Between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM, walking through the housw should be done with the stealth of a ninja. If I hear the sounds of elephants walking because you’re making a three-course meal in the air fryer, I will appear from the depths to discuss your long-term career goals. #parenting

​I told myself I’d "learn to love it," but I think I’m just staying for the post-run endorphins—and even those feel like they’re seeing other people lately. Happy running everyone! #running #runner #runsky

The most important "love story" you’ll ever have is the one happening inside your own head. Treat yourself like someone you actually like.

Stop looking for a "better half" and start becoming a "whole version." The right person doesn’t complete you—they complement the work you’ve already done.

My therapist told me to "open my heart to love." My heart said, "Nah, I’m good. The last renter trashed the place." 😅

You cannot pour from an empty cup. We often think loving someone else is the ultimate goal, but your ability to love others is capped by how much you respect yourself.
