As I’ve gotten older, I’ve made taking care of my body a huge priority and feel better than I ever have.

What I’m Loving: October
This October is a very exciting month for me! I started the month by running the Twin Cities marathon, and then I will spend the second half of the month on an overseas trip for work. I’m a little bummed about missing my favorite weather of the year (but also not sad I won’t be stuck cleaning up the leaves in my yard– sorry mom and dad!).
