July 2010. Ben and I had our first apartment together, a first floor duplex in the Fan. Someone entered our apartment from the open window in the kitchen. Luckily we had gone out that night.

January 22, 2018 was the first day that I laced up my tennis shoes and decided to go for a run. I made a playlist and download an interval timer. I set it for 1 minute run/4 minute walk for 30 minutes. I went out super early because I couldn’t sleep. It happens to me […]
