We are back home after a week in Mexico! I have a lot more for you starting tomorrow but we got in really late last night so I just have a bunch of pictures for you today!
Room service for breakfast on our last day at the resort.
Souvenirs for the kiddos.
Hanging out waiting for our shuttle.
Hard to leave this place but sooooo ready to get back to Knox and Brooke.
Candy shopping for the plane ride.
This. won. everything.
He looks good with a ring on his finger… caught him looking at kid pictures before boarding.
Currently reading and loving.
Of course my mom had this set up for when we got home.
Medium-long run to get done before the kiddos wake up tomorrow morning.
PS we were able to talk to the kids while we were gone… that felt really good.
Oh and I came across this picture and it made me happy… Brooke wanted to play tag before we left for our honeymoon and running around outside in our dresses together after pretty much everyone had already left felt pretty amazing.

What are you up to today? Long runs? Races? Give me the information!!!

That chocolate bar with oreo looks amazing! Please tell me it’s not only available in Mexico. I need it in my life!!!

Ten miles will be conquered very shortly! Two more full weeks until my first marathon (SF) so I have boarded the taper train. On that oreo covered chocolate bar-I saw the same thing in the UK when I was there for work in May. Hubs and 8yo loved it so much I ordered some more from Amazon. Other countries have the best chocolate, imo. Welcome back!
Kristina Running
Your mom is literally the sweetest! I hope we get more of her pep talks in the future :).
Milka makes the best chocolates ever. I always get excited to shop international airports for the good stuff!

I am glad you had a good time on your honeymoon and survived the shark encounter ;) Honestly, I was not sure about that. You never know with nature. Your mom is the sweetest, nicest, most wonderful mom. That look on Brooke’s face being chased by you is priceless. :) Life doesn’t get any better than seeing that pure joy. Glad you area back safe and sound from Mexico.

Was supposed to run the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon tomorrow with some girlfriends but had to bow out of the race cause flights/hotels were WAY too expensive. I ran 14 miles here in Chicago instead :)
Welcome home!!

I bet it feels good to be home!! That pic of you and Brooke is priceless and every time I see your shoes, I am even more tempted by them!
12 miles today in Lake Tahoe (7409 elevation & we live in a valley!) while on vacay. I’m thankful for my mom in love picking us up so we didn’t have to do a big loop.
Sarah D.
Welcome back! I bet the kiddos were excited to see you guys.
I am also reading that book! I love it! Such a good read!

Welcome home! I love the picture of you and Brooke playing tag- so perfect!
I ran an easy 5 miles this morning and now am relaxing at the pool with my family. Looking forward to my rest day tomorrow!

Hope you guys really enjoyed your first week as a married couple ;-) Couple vacations are a must but leaving the little ones behind is always hard (even though we know they are in good hands!)… 7 miles this morning, including 8 short hills (200m)… It is the start of marathon training for me after years of doing half-marathons (last marathon was before my son was born 6 years ago!)… Scary and exciting challenge for the fall ;-)
Susie
Welcome back!! Those Oreo chocolates looked bomb! Are they Cadbury?
Long run today — really tough to get up and moving when it’s stormy out — but the clouds parted and 7 miles are down in the record books!!
Bailey
yaaaaaay can’t wait to hear all the stories from your first week as a MARRIED COUPLE!!!! going out for one last road long run before starting college cross country training next week D:
Kristi
I bet you are sad to leave that gorgeous setting but beyond happy to see the kids and be back to your routine! I hope you brought enough of those Oreo chocolate bars home to ship out to all your readers. ; ) They look beyond gooood!
I enjoyed reading all of your guest posts, it’s always nice to get to know your mom and sister a little bit better as well as your blog friends and friends from blogging. Great group of friends and supportive family=life!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Seriously those Oreo bars were crazy good… I need to work on getting those sent out to you guys NOW!! Thank you so much… they LOVED posting and all of the support/love/comments from you guys. It made me really happy too:) I hope you are having a fabulous day Kristi!!! THANK YOU!
San
What a great trip… and those Brooks shoes are just awesome.
Rachel
So glad you had a wonderful trip!
Today I did a long run with a good friend, and we had the best time talking about everything while we ran.
Kristen
Love the pictures!!! So hard to come back to reality after such a wonderful time away- but easier when you get to see the kiddos!!
21 day fix cardio today! I need to get my running game back!
Liz
What a sweet mom! Janae, that lady deserves some uncut stones to play with.
I loved all your guest posts and I’m so excited to hear about Mexico!!
Today’s workout consisted of lifting box after heavy box. We’re moving in a week and a half so things are getting crazy over here.
Have fun snuggling those kiddos!
Natalie
Welcome home! That picture of you and Brooke might be one of the greatest wedding photos I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
I did my long run this morning at the lake, then ate froyo and hung out at the pool. It was pretty great. :)
Bethany (Lulu)
Welcome back!! I am so excited to hear all the adventures you and Andrew had in Mexico! And that picture of you and Brooke playing tag. Heart = melted.
No run for me today, I had a 3-5 mile run scheduled, but decided yesterday that spraining my ankle sounded like a good idea. ;) You should see me on crutches at 8 months preggo. It’s quite the sight.
I am hoping my ankle will heal quickly so I can run ASAP! I don’t want to lose my sanity. ;)
Phyllis
Congratulations! Glad you are back, but I loved all of your guest posts! Your mom has such an interesting life! Thanks for sharing your stories! ?
Krista @ Gringita

I took today off from running.. decided this morning when I woke up with a sinus infection and my power was out :(
Kendra
So glad you had such an amazing honeymoon!! I can’t wait to see more pictures!
Also, we are nearly 6 months into marriage & looking at that ring on his left hand still hasn’t gotten old ;) I love it!
Megan d
Welcome hooooome. That picture of you and Brooke playing tag is too adorable. Those small, seemingly insignificant moments are the ones where it hits me hardest. How great life is. Moments like that are surreal. You are both so blessed to have each other.
