This is 30.
I turned 30 in February. I was asked a few times leading up to this birthday how I felt about it. In the back of my mind, I felt a bit of worry and dread. There was that nagging feeling of "being behind" or somehow not where I should be (whatever that means). But most of all, the negativity was lost in the blanket of burnout. I was slogging through.
In the past few years, I've heard people wax poetic about their 30s. If their 20s were full of struggle and uncertainty, their 30s were full of self-assurance and security.
I spent my 20s always chasing something, literally and figuratively. I wanted to start this new decade on a different note, one that was less about chasing and more about stopping and smelling the roses. I want to slow down, pause, and breathe. Figure out who I am now and who I want to be. And hopefully, document it as much as my bandwidth allows me to.

Racing and Exploring Denmark
A couple weeks ago, I travelled back to Denmark for the Copenhagen Athletics Games. I came for the meet and then stayed an extra week to explore what my friend likes to call “the real Denmark”. I found Denmark to be incredibly relaxing. I’m always interested in finding out how people in other countries live and learning about the differences in cultures and lifestyles. Denmark was full of welcoming people, sustainable energy, safe bike lanes, and calming pastures.
Gold Coast 2018 | Part 1
Where to even start with this one. I'm sure you've all figured this out by the title, but I'm splitting my Commonwealth experience into a few parts - mainly because there are sooo many photos and videos I want to share, but I don't want to overload you guys, either.
So, without further ado, I'll start from the beginning.
Don't Call It A Comeback
Has it really been three months since my last update? If the new year coming and going is any indication, then that's definitely right. I want to see I lost track of time, but I feel like I've never been more aware of time in my life. It seems like I always have simultaneously all the time in the world, yet never enough to satisfy me.
