I can finally write a half marathon race recap after a 3+ year hiatus from my last one [which was the Disney World Half in 2014!] We all need a hiatus from something in life when things get crazy or when you are in another season. If it’s meant to be, that something can…
DetailsRunning has evolved for me over the course of the last 5+ years. I remember when I started, back in 2010, I ran for fun with friends and to get away from the thoughts that constantly kept my brain working overtime. It was a way for me to escape, and also a way for me…
DetailsDay 211 – Windy runs are better with friends With my first double digit run due today on my plan, I was not opposed to company for the miles ahead! Since hills are a regular part of my weekly runs, flat routes are preferred for Sunday mornings. Luckily Erin feels the same! We both said “see…
DetailsHalf marathon training, post baby, has been going surprisingly smooth! I am devoted to sticking to my plan of “running less to run stronger” for this half marathon training cycle. When I’d run precious to having the baby, I felt as if I didn’t give enough energy to crosstraining and stretching. So, I planned my training…

DetailsMany people ask me about cloth diaper laundry and if it drives me absolutely bat sh** crazy. Welp, it doesn’t! I am already doing laundry for the two of us and for baby K while I’m home as it is. To be honest, my wash routine breaks down like this: Do cloth diaper laundry…
DetailsDay 177 – My kids motivate me These two did so great their first road trip and vacation with us all together! It’s truly special to have a fur baby who has blended right into our family after losing my little Jaeden almost two years ago. Yes, Tayler has always been one of my kids…
DetailsDay 168 – Loving our weekends! It’s funny that while this little one’s naps have shrunk in duration, we are having the most fun ever! Her demeanor is so stinkin’ fun and lively and positive, we enjoy every moment with her — watching her and Tayler talk to each other, seeing her roll all over…
DetailsA lot can happen in 7 years, right? Gary and I have been together officially for 7 years, and are celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary this weekend! We started out at fit friends from the gym, and grew into best friends who wanted to explore life together! It seems that this…
DetailsI have done INSANITY Max:30 two times before this round of the program. I figured, I’ve birthed a child so what’s another round of the hardest workout program I’ve ever done before??
