Running Philadelphia: Back on My Feet 5-Miler

On March 30, 2017March 23, 2018 By DenitaStevensIn adventureLeave a comment

The Stroehmann Back on My Feet 5-Miler fell on the same day as the Bearathon in Waco, which is the half marathon I have ran for the past two years. I was a little disappointed to not be running it again this year. The race, known as the "Toughest Half in Texas," raises money for …

My first glimpse of Philadelphia was from an airplane as I flew into the airport this past April. Flying in to spend the weekend in Jersey. I was in awe of the massive sports complexes clustered together, the skyline, the naval shipyard... It was all pretty much a blur since I was seeing it so …

I've been asked what I'm missing about not being in Texas. Of course I miss my family and friends, but it's the food! Specifically BBQ & Mexican food! Mmm. There is just something about brisket.

Disorderly Life: PTSD Recovery

On July 6, 2016October 2, 2018 By DenitaStevensIn Uncategorized4 Comments

Turning 30 was something I never expected to do.
