Today’s workout was supposed to be done entirely on the track but I got kicked off after two miles because the high school kids needed to have practice… they wouldn’t understand that my coach TOLD ME to run at the track. Rude. To avoid getting lost two days in a row I pretty much just ran back and forth on the same street and passed by this beautiful lake and sprinklers way too many times. Not very nice Phoenix to ...

And this is what the house looks like when I am babysitting 3 kids under 2.5 years old.  Brooke is in heaven with this toy room… It is actually bigger than our entire apartment.    I was babysitting while my sis-in-law and my brother went to the doctor’s… she is 20 weeks along and just found out she is having a GIRL!!!!  Brooke is going to have so many girl cousins right around her age. It must run in the ...

Today is a huge day. Brooke is NINE MONTHS OLD TODAY! Every day gets better and better. She really is the best. Getting her out of the crib in the morning is in fact my favorite thing in the world. 2 things about the below image. 1. How in the world was I already out the door and doing my running drills at 5:47 this morning? 2. How in the world was it already 79 degrees at 5:47 this morning? ...

How will they survive?

I seriously don’t know how my family is going to survive now that Brooke has left.  Brooke is the life of the party.   My mom took us up to the airport and for the car ride she had a strawberry buttermilk frozen dessert waiting for me to eat on the way.  She was having book club at her house last night and these were the treats she had for them and I was lucky enough to get to eat ...

It has been months since I have done a Tangent Tuesday but today is just one of those days that I need to tell you a million different things so Tangent Tuesday it is. How could I not share this picture of Brooke with you from this morning?  Somebody is starting to get a few curls.  —————————— Today was a run day and tomorrow was supposed to be a rest from running day but I switched them around in favor ...

How could I have done that?!

How could I have done what I did to Brooke yesterday? I still feel guilty.  We ate delicious ginormous ice cream cones right in front of her (she had cheerios.  Babies aren’t supposed to have ice cream until they are 1 years old).  I don’t know what those kiddos were thinking getting cherry (aka medicine flavored) dipped cones… chocolate dipped is the way to go.   But I think Brooke forgave me when I took her to the park.   ...

The track ate me alive.

I knew I was in trouble when my warm-up had me out of breath:)  PS I went to my old high school’s track….. go Timberwolves.  On my schedule for today I was supposed to go to the track to do a timed 5k after a warm-up and followed with a cool-down.  My mom came and walked around with Brooke in the jogging stroller while I ran.   My coach told me to go out conservatively and shoot for negative splits ...
