No run for me yesterday! I had a facial done the day before with a chemical peel, and she told me to wait 24 hours before I worked out.  There’s nothing like dealing with perimenopause symptoms (just crazy night sweats thus far) and acne at the same time! Beck and I created some parking spots … Continue Reading

(Shorts, shoes, top) We did some 800s for one of my friend’s final workouts before the Mt Charleston Marathon.  I can’t believe how quickly these spring marathons have crept up on me.  I am so tempted to jump into one to avoid FOMO, but I’m trying to face my uncomfortable feelings of missing out on … Continue Reading

9 miles @ 8:26 average. He has graduated from baths, but after every shower, he asks me to hold him like a baby. My sister sent us to get two live trees for our house.. I’m in love. They will both get a few feet taller.  Hopefully, I can keep them alive. A date before … Continue Reading

(Shirt, shorts) I’m surprised my quadriceps allowed me to run yesterday due to the soreness that occurred from lifting for 30 minutes at the gym the day before. I think our bodies become so efficient at doing whatever we do most often (aka running for me) that the second we switch things up and do … Continue Reading
