As mentioned at the beginning of 2012, I am committing to monthly goals instead of ambitious year-long ones in the hope that the stuff I choose to do is relative for what I need in the moment. January crept by at a snail's pace, which was bad for my patience but excellent for my to-do…

I realized last fall that year long goals are not my favorite. While I adore to-do lists and find that writing goals down helps me get stuff done, it's hard to figure out at the beginning of the year what is still going to be relevant by the end of the year. So this year,…

I am not going to do a big post rehashing all my personal goals from 2011, because they can all be summed up by this statement : I made progress. But the running goal actually made a big difference in my life. I wanted to run 365 miles in 2011 and I ended up running…

After reading about this, I set a goal to run at least a mile every day from Thanksgiving to New Years. I started the day after Thanksgiving, so yesterday was day four…and so far, I'm four for four. The real challenge, of course, begins today. The past few days have just meant running twice around…

Some days I am so high on this little self-employed job of mine. Other days, when the ideas are gone, my email inbox is empty and I've just finished my sixth episode of Friday Night Lights, it's a different story.

As I was gearing up to start writing this post last week, I stumbled on this blog post from April 2007. I was a senior in college and graduating in a month with a business major. I was jobless, but clearly hopeful. I wish I could go back to that Elise from four years ago…

I'm not a doctor, or an expert, or even that good at this yet. But I would like to share a few tips and thoughts from my experience. You can read more about my "relationship" with running here, but long story short, I went from hating running to being a causual runner to enjoying running…

Yesterday, I ran the San Diego Run Rock Roll half marathon (my rad friend veronica did too). I spent Friday and Saturday making myself sick with nerves but Sunday morning was pretty calm. We walked from my apartment to the start line at 5:30am and then took off around 7am. I went through highs and…
