I ran 10 miles @ 8:18 pace with the girls.

My brother-in-law came over and installed our lights and I love them.

We had to start doing laundry at night so he could wear his Sandlot shirt every day.

I asked my sister and niece to reenact this photo and my niece refused.

I started reading this book when Heather recommended it to me and I CANNOT PUT IT DOWN (and I’m not even remotely exaggerating).

I started listening to this book after Jenny recommended it (and I love Hope Davis narrating so I chose to listen instead of read) and I’m also completely hooked on this book.  I cannot get anything done between these two books.

I came across this picture and teared up because, I promise you, I feel like I took this picture of them yesterday.

I have thrown myself into the elementary cross-country team… as you can tell, I get into it.

I’ve needed an insane amount of caffeine to make it through above activity;)

I’ve been googling short races to sign up for… Is this a mid-life crisis?

I won Knox’s heart by putting Goldfish and Cheez-Its in the cereal dispenser.

What is #1—> Goldfish, cheez-its, or some other type of cracker?

Random question from my brother… do you remember your orthodontist’s name (if you had one)?  

-He and his kids called me and asked me and I replied Dr. Broadbent within half a second of him finishing the question.  It may have been 25 years ago, but I’ll never forget due to the amount of pain I associated with his name every time I had to get my braces tightened;)

On Marathon Monday 2022, we ran Boston together, and on Marathon Monday 2024, we ran 11 miles @ 8:18 average together and stopped for water at a Chevron… It was basically just as exciting. Beck and I watched the marathon from the couch.  I was in heaven, watching the leaders and tracking all of my … Continue Reading

(Top, bra, shorts, shoes) Driving to the run, I told myself I would hang with these speedy girls for two miles and then drop back and do a short speed workout at a medium-effort push. <– The lies we tell ourselves to push start on our GPS watches. Lauren and I were so glad we … Continue Reading

(Shorts, tank, bra, shoes) Emilee and I perceive temps very differently haha.  9 miles @ 8:33 average. Stuffed animal day for Kindergartners… When Skye got out of the car to go to school, Beck said, “She’s just so cute.”  I agree. Met my sis and niece at the park. My sister brought this find from … Continue Reading

(similarish top, shorts, shoes) I ran 10 miles at an 8:26 pace with my friend Jo, and then Andrew and I took the kids to school. Spring and winter in one picture: The color of this sports bra has my heart.  I remember learning at Brooks when I went to their headquarters in Seattle a … Continue Reading

(Bra ((it’s ribbed, and it’s my favorite… go a size up if you order it!), shorts, long-sleeve. It’s not super normal to run in a sports bra and gloves, but I’ll blame it on my hormones. I met up with four girls to join them at the track. One is running Boston in a few … Continue Reading

(Shoes, pants, shirt, and I’m just hoping I can put my gloves and headbands away VERY soon.)  I ran 9 miles at an 8:35 pace. My legs were very aware of the hill climbing I had done the day before. The day he gets to go to school with them will be the best day … Continue Reading
