Meet Holly

I'm an independent writer and this is my personal health and fitness blog. Here I detail my journey with running, yoga and well-being. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, with my husband, our dog Lulu and half a dozen houseplants.

Monthly Training Update: November

I would say at this point I’m definitely in the off season.

I do not have any more races scheduled this year. A few offers have come up but frankly my December is looking very hairy as it is and I hate running in the bitter cold most

Where did January go?

I was actually somewhat shocked when I realized January was almost over and that I should probably recap how my training for the Rite Aid Cleveland Half-Marathon has been going.

I feel reluctant even qualifying January as the “kick-off” month to my half-marathon
