So far 2016 has been a year of new beginnings, and I am so thankful for having many new opportunities and friends who support me 100%. Without turning this into a typical Sappy Alyssa blog post... some really spectacular things are happening in my life right now. And not even just in running! I have something HUGE happening next Tuesday that I'd rather wait until it's official to post about but I literally cannot contain my excitement!!! :D I've been running much more consistently since a close friend became my running coach back in November (and eventually started dating said coach-friend, but that's a story for another day). Once I started increasing my miles, I also increased my pace a little without much effort. I'm slowly adding a tiny bit of speed work and I have some seriously ambitious goals for my upcoming races!
I honestly think that I used to be too scared to push myself too much - as soon as I'd get uncomfortable, I'd back off. But things have changed so much now that I'm realizing that nothing bad is going to happen... and instead, good things are happening. I love my little legs :)

Hello, my name is Alyssa!I'm a momma to Emerson Lilly and two fur babies, a distance runner, and just a girl full of sparkle and quirks. I love traveling to races and exploring new places to run! I started this blog in 2014 as more of a journal to keep track of training for my first marathon, and I've continued to post about training, races, and other things happening in my life. Also, I'd like to be your best friend. :) Categories
