On a frosty and cold fall morning in November of 2020, I started to “n”deavour towards one of my bucket list goals: To run a marathon. When I started, my only goal was to start running again after almost half a decade of being away from it. Those first runs,…

Fair warning. This particular post will not be quality writing. I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast today let alone what happened in June, July, and August. Seeing that it is now October, I’m writing a post for posterity (or in truth, just future me so I don’t…

Just like that we are well into the first month of January. The momentum of 2021 is just starting to find its footing and there is an aura of positivity and hope for a better year still permeating the air. I’m 5 months into my “n”deavour, meaning that I’m in…

Running thoughts are similar to shower thoughts; both often produce people’s best thinking. The mundane is re-examined and moments of inspiration and (sometimes) questions about life emerge. Some thoughts are profound, others banal. Some personal, others universal. I often think about privilege. Mainly, I think about my own, what it…
