What is your idea of a relaxing Sunday? Mine includes beautiful crisp autumn weather and a long leisurely run. Having someone to run with is definitely an added bonus, but I will settle with knowing you ran somewhere, anywhere, on World Run Day. This annual event promotes two fantastic things on one single day: the sport [...]

Hey Strangers.
Sorry I have been MIA, I promised myself when I started P4P I would post in a steady, consistent manner. But life keeps getting in the way and I don’t feel much like talking to anyone (not the healthiest coping mechanism).

Body Bashing

Things have been a little rough lately, I am not going to lie. Sometimes it is beyond hard to live far away from your family and close friends. That infamous line, “just a phone call away”, is a total crock! What I would do for a awkwardly big hug from my mom, dad, sister, or [...]

Ready for Monday? I am. This past week has been emotionally and physically draining and I am ready for a new one. I really do not want to bring my work stress to this blog… mainly because, well… that is just more unnecessary work stress, right?
North Carolina went from the high 80’s last Saturday (and [...]
