Hello, internet friends!

I'm back with a massive Monday update to let you know what I've been up to lately.

A lot of words have gone out into the world in between life happening. Between increased responsibilities at work and planning a wedding, I'm honestly surprised I've managed to find time to keep writing. But write I have! Here are a few highlights:

• When a friend asked me for some guidance on what I wish I knew when I first started running, I realized I had to deliver and wrote this article for In Fitness and in Health

• As August hit and I became swept up in work, I wrote this reflection on being emotionally out of office for Wholistique

• To celebrate my fourth year teaching my superhero themed first year writing class, I penned this love letter to the 2002 Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire.

• I'm participating in Blogtober, writing one post per day for the month of October for Your Book Friend. If you're not following the Medium pub and/or the blog site, now's a great time to start because the bookish goodness just keeps coming! So far, I've written about some of my favorite monthly book mail and reviewed a few great books so far, including The Witch Haven.

That's all for this week! Thanks for taking the time to check out my Monday update. Your support means a lot!
