Transition Talk
America’s Run
Last weekend was busy. In addition to adopting Lola, I ran my second 5K race, America’s Run, on Sunday morning. I was pretty nervous because after the Cowtown in February, my running has gotten pretty infrequent. Between my trip to Portland and everyday life hassles, I just haven’t really been making the time to exercise [...]
The New & Improved Amy

It was really easy when I was working from home the first week, but then…you know, life got in the way. I still haven’t given up, I [...]
