Many prayers to the people of Oklahoma! —————————– I have made it on to Buzzfeed. Another goal on my Life Goal List accomplished. They have a post about the 40 Best Worst Runner Costumes and that is me hanging out in the back in my piñata costume. Now the forty hours I spent making that costume is all worth it. Did you hear about this incredible 16 year old? Alana Hadley is the top 16 year old long-distance runner in ...

Tree trunk legs running and I need to go back and edit my entire blog.

I am sure going to miss seeing the three of them play together all day long.   My scene this morning as I was eating breakfast. I didn’t have a workout scheduled for today so I just did my own thing and ran for a little under an hour at a 7:35 pace.  That was a little bit slower than my pace on Saturday (which felt comfortable) and today it felt like I was sprinting with tree trunks for legs ...

3 awesome recipes and I haven’t done that in a year.

Guess who seems to be feeling much better?!?! One of my favorite things in this life is Brooke with a ponytail.  I finally figured out why I love it so much.  It is because I wear a ponytail 99% of the time and my goal is for us to be twinners so it only makes sense that I get overjoyed by her having a similar hairstyle as me.  I debated putting the below picture on the blog.  Billy’s FAVORITE type ...

Phoenix MEET-UP INFORMATION!!! You can come to one or both:) May 20th 11:45 a.m. at La Grande Orange!! May 20th at 7 p.m. at KIWI LOCO!! ——————————————– Before we talk about rest days let’s get into the importance of having a delicious breakfast each day. It is proven that starting your day off with cereal (yesterday’s mix was FMW, fruit loops, strawberries and a cut up pear) will make your whole day infinitely better. Nothing like Sunday morning french toast ...

A peaceful run and flashback Sunday.

Somehow I woke up even earlier than normal to run yesterday morning. My body knew that it would melt if I waited to go running later in the day so instead I ran when the sun was rising while listening to Regina Spektor Pandora station. Talk about peaceful. 5 miles with average pace of 7:31 and when I got home I did my 8 minute abs and 8 minute arms youtube videos while watching Scrubs reruns with my brother, our ...

Just a real quick hello because this picture makes me really happy.

I am seriously not even exaggerating (I even have witnesses that will confirm this) but when I pulled out the camera and we started telling the kids to smile for a picture Brooke put her arm around her cousin. It brought tears to my eyes. Oh and another thing that made me happy today was that Brooke experienced one of my favorite things for the first time ever. D. O. N. U. T. I am not a good enough person ...

Billy took his second to last final yesterday.  His last one is on Tuesday which means I will come home Tuesday the second he finished and we already decided what our first date back together will involve.   Wendy’s now serves their frosty’s in a waffle cone for just $1.  I think this will be perfect for us because we are super fancy like this.   Just two more pictures of my adorable nephew and niece from our park outing ...
