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.
▶︎ SNAPSHOTS | SPAIN & SWITZERLAND
So, I've been having a tough time of it on my European Tour, but I'm trying to stay positive! The past week has been a whirlwind of travel and racing, and I wasn't able to capture much footage, but I hope you're able to enjoy it anyway!
The Copenhagen Games
Look at me, updating in a timely fashion *pats self on back*
Anyway, let's get into my first stop of my trip, Copenhagen.
Life Lately: May
Happy June, everyone! Before it gets too late in the month, I wanted to do a life/monthly update. May was definitely an...interesting month for me. I feel like everything and nothing happened all at the same time and now I'm stuck trying to decide on the direction of my life all over again (but what else is new, I guess).
The Trouble In Racing After Time
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this on the blog before, but I'm not a fan of the indoor track season. Never have been and probably never will be. I'm not sure if it's the endless frustration that always seems to occur or that it's so short that you never really feel as prepared as you should be.
