What learning Hebrew has taught me about myself and life
I like to consider myself a diligent student, especially when it comes to languages because I have been in a foreign country and I have taught a foreign language, so I know the frustration of being a teacher of languages. But if I am honest with myself, I haven’t been a good Hebrew student. I …

Pulling through a pulled hamstring
I still put on my running clothes everyday. Even though I can’t run like I want to, I still have to “suit up” and walk or even do housework because running is part of my routine, my decompression, my sanity. If I can put on the gear, then I can get my head to the …
Winter Warrior
Winter Warrior There’s nothing like a misty morning run as the cold air of winter blows in. As I was running this morning and my lungs were burning, I thought of how many more cold runs there would be if I decided to truly train for a half marathon in the Spring. It seems unfair …

Walking Alone
I often wonder about the people that I meet on my runs. I wonder what their stories are. I wonder where they have been. Sometimes I even make up their stories: Her morning was filled with preparation. She had started at 10 and finally got in her car at 11:45 to make the short drive …
Log Jumping
You have to love when you are trail running and your encounter a large obstruction blocking your path! At this point, you have two options: Reroute: Turn and run back the way you came from! Jump: Although it might mean slowing your pace to a walk a little climbing, it will make you feel more …
First Fall 5K
For some reason last year, I didn’t run in many fall 5Ks and as I was running and training this summer, I realized I missed the scene and the energy that encompass a Saturday morning run for a good cause. Asheville is the perfect place to get re-engaged in the running scene (although I would …
