The next three days were filled with tons of time on the road. Driving is hands down the best way to see Iceland – good thing I absolutely love long trips in the car. We saw so many beautiful things as we emerged out of the more touristy part of Iceland (most people stay within a 4-hour … More Iceland days 3-5: driving, driving, and more driving
I’m back from one week in Iceland! The trip was beyond incredible, filled with lots of time on the road (1500+ miles), seeing beautiful things, discovering new Icelandic music, and sharing it all with one of my best friends, Christine. I’m splitting this into a few posts to avoid a super long post – get ready for the biggest … More Iceland days 1-2: waterfalls + glacier hike + an evening of bumps
This was hands down one of the funnest races I’ve ever done! I don’t have my official time yet, but I came in around 4 hours. It’s crazy that this race took almost as long as a marathon, but I definitely felt easier on my body (not to say it wasn’t still super painful!). Day … More Jersey City Triathlon race recap
Hi blog! Okay, I think it’s FINALLY time for me to talk about this triathlon…seeing as it’s TOMORROW. This week was filled with a lot of last minute running around, buying gear, spare bike parts, etc. I definitely procrastinated this portion – I actually originally was going to bike without any spare parts, but then I envisioned … More Pre-race thoughts + poetry obsession + weeks 9, 10, 11 of training (finally!)
Hey there, I’ve missed this blog! I’ve been super delinquent in updating…and to be honest it’s because I’ve been lazy in my training and it’s hard to own up to that. I can’t believe my triathlon is exactly one week away! I’m filled with lots of thoughts, mostly nerves and doubt – I’ll go more into … More The past two weeks!
Hope you all had an amazing weekend!! Friday My weekend started off with hanging with my #1, Michelle.

The … More Weekend highlights + my new biking coach + tri training real talk + training week 8
It’s been a fantastic week so far! I finally have had some time to breath for the first time in weeks. I have to remind myself that stressful times come in waves, and I just have to breath in the highs and be patient through the lows. Training has especially been great this week, mainly … More Treadmill highs + city of the sun
This weekend had a lot going on – the highlight: hiking in the Catskills! It always amazes me how much ground you can cover in a few short days. Overall, this weekend was just what I needed 🙂 Friday The beginning of the day was primarily planning for the hiking trip with Phil, Scott and Alex. … More Weekend in the Catskills + housebreaking + training week 7
What’s up! I’m currently blogging on my back porch – the sun is setting and I just ate a lovely home-cooked meal. Happy is an understatement. This week I’ve been back home in upstate NY ❤ It’s just been me, my mom, and my sis – and we’ve all been busy bees at home! My mom and … More Week in Po-town + knowing your limits
Lovely weekend to recap, here we go! Saturday The weekend started off with my first brick workout –> Brick = bike + run.
