Guys, I feel like I hit my stride with this run. It wasn’t my greatest run or my fastest run, but I came out of this run feeling good—really good. First of all, I was proud of myself for even getting out of the car. It was 32 degrees and dropping like every few minutes. I, not being the one… Read More
This month, I ran my 5th 5K. Wow. I already have 5 under my belt. That’s amazing. I ran by myself this time, which was ok. But it might have been one of my most favorite courses that I’ve ran yet—meaning the first part was uphill and the end was down . . . so much better that way! My… Read More
So this month I ended up running two runs. Yup. 2. No this isn’t because I’ve all of a sudden started loving running. My sister wanted to run one, and I really wanted to do a Turkey run.

FASTER!” And Drew. That smile. He’s just a ham. Seriously. It’s the greatest thing ever. It really helps to have your own… Read More
I’m going to be completely honest. We’re talking about confession time. I feel like I should say something like “Forgive me, Father, it’s been XX since I’ve ran.” (those two XX would represent three weeks… yes. It’s been that long). It’s sad really. Three weeks ago when I ran the pain in my calves/shins was so bad. With every stomp… Read More
So here it is. My update on running. Gone are the days of running on the treadmill at the gym. Gone are the days of running the track at the gym. Sheesh gone are the days of even going to the gym (after three times of Drew getting sick two days after coming home from the gym I said… Read More
