Well well well, it's been quite some time since I posted or even looked at my own blog. It's something I've thought about often but didn't have the inspiration or motivation to move forward with actively posting. Call it blogger's block if you will, but whenever I thought of something that might be potential blog material, there was this voice in the back of my mind saying "no, that's not good enough". So there it sat in internet oblivion, collecting electronic dust.

And then fall showed up.

There are many things I love about living in Michigan, with fall being near the top of my list. The clear blue skies, the changing leaves, the crisp air. It was this past weekend on a particularly beautiful day where I finally felt inspired again. For those of you who do not experience a Midwest fall, believe me when I say the air is different this time of year, and you can practically feel the change blowing past you. Whenever this happens I get this feeling of excitement and anticipation inside me, for unknown things to come. It's somewhat unexplainable but there truly is this buzzing energy that cannot be ignored and it was this that brought me out of my blogging rut.

It'll probably be baby steps getting back into the routine of posting, but I can't wait to get into the swing of things and channel my inner creativity into something. So hello, Internet friends. It's lovely to see you again :)

Happy Friday everyone!! This week has been tough work wise; all I do is sit at a computer for 10+ hours, but then when I get back to my place all I want to do is sit and do nothing. With Boston Marathon exactly one month away, I need to be making sure I get my butt out the door and run! 

I went back home the other night after a long day of work since my sister and roommate were not around (they're nurses and we all work completely different schedules..sometimes we don't see each other for days!). While I was there I was able to take advantage of their availability to snap some pics for Running on Coffee, eat a good home cooked meal, talk outer space and physics with my dad, and run around their neighborhood. 

With all the snow we've had the past few months I've mostly stuck to treadmill running, and let me tell you, my legs were in for a rude awakening on that little jaunt. Holy hills, Batman! I may need to start running there every day leading up to Boston...Heartbreak Hill will seem like a bump in the road after training there :)

Happy Vernal Equinox aka SPRING!!!

You know the universe is working in your favor when the weekend has beautiful weather and you have no plans. Okay, I had to go into the office for a few hours and work, but other than that I had nothing stopping me from doing whatever I wanted! 

First thing on the list: wake up naturally with no alarm clock scaring me from my slumber. How great of a feeling is that?! Second, enjoy a delicious coconut milk latte before antique shopping with my sister. We found a cute table for our apartment that I am dying to paint yellow :) 

Hopefully next weekend can provide the same type of relaxation so we can find some chairs for said table! Oh and minus the few hours of work, that would be great :)
