Hi friends!
VERY long time no see. Sorry about that…life got crazy and blogging was put on the back burner.
I promised you a giveaway, which will be posted tomorrow morning. It is already written, so no flaking out this time 😉
2015 was a BIG year for me!
2 half marathons
- Kaiser SF Half Marathon (recaps)
- Merco Credit Union Half Marathon (recaps)
1 trip to Montana for Kyle’s childhood BFF’s wedding
1 trip to Kauai
Kauai

Blog more regularly…
Unfortunately because of my new job, grad school, and now planning a wedding :), I have very little free time. But I really miss blogging and would like to stay on top of it. I’m hoping to post a minimum of 1 post/week.
Set a new PR in the half marathon!
1:57 has been my PR (personal record) for so long and it’s driving me crazy. To be fair, I haven’t deserved a new PR since setting that one. I haven’t properly trained for a half marathon since I set that PR, so I can’t expect to improve. Right? I haven’t picked a race yet, but Kyle said he would help me train. (He isn’t a runner but I think having someone there to motivate you during speed work makes a huge difference).
Plan a wedding!
This one is the most exciting for me! Kyle and I decided on a spring 2017 wedding, so we need to get movin’!
House projects
As you will see tomorrow, Kyle and I have done some minimal (i.e. decoration/painting changes) since moving in to the house we bought in 2014. I would like to continue our house projects in baby stages, as the more we do this, the more our house feels like OUR home!
