Finally cooperating and an update on how my mom is doing!

Love the mini ponytail, haha!

All the best to your mom – you’re so blessed to have each other!

I almost always run alone, introverts unite! ;)

Favorite halloween candy, ALL the halloween candy.

Glad your Mom is doing better.

I thought The Intern was great! Definitely worth seeing in the theaters:)

I love Almond Joy and any kind of M&M’s! :)

I usually run with my friend Kiet on Sundays–he’s the last person I ran with. I mostly only get to run with people on weekends, so weekdays are solo.

I love giant Jolly Ranchers and Dots for Halloween candy!! :) And I’m definitely wearing my Halloween socks today (along with my costume) to work today for our Halloween party!

Shoutout to: Corrie, Tracy, Shyla, and Dave for running with me this morning!
I’m running NYC this weekend!!
Fave Halloween candy: Candy corn!

Ohhh I really want to see The Intern too, it looks so cute!

I really wanted to run a Halloween themed race this year but somehow I totally missed the local one. I forgot to mark my calendar and thought it was this coming weekend but it was last weekend! Oops!

Obsessed with Adele’s song. Totally obsessed. I listened to it on repeat while I was getting ready for work yesterday and it played in my head ALLLLLLL day. =) I love when kids get super excited about little things they figure out how to do!

I ran intervals on the treadmill last night with my good friend. The Intern is great! You will love it- funny and touching! Also, NEW ADELE = INCREDIBLE! Like you I have been listening on repeat since Friday.

Favorite Halloween candy is Russell Stover Chocolate Marshmallow Pumpkins! But only the Russell Stover brand, none of this knock off nonsense ;-) (I also enjoy their Chocolate/Marshmallow Santas, Hearts, and Eggs) so it’s my favorite ALL holiday candy!

Prayers and good vibes to your moms! LOVE those socks!!

Keeping your mom in my prayers! Favorite Halloween candy is peanut butter M&Ms.

Prayers for your mom!!

I’m really glad to hear both of you are doing well and ready to run. You deserve that! I’m also really glad your mom is doing well. This is such a positive post today. :-)

So happy to hear your mom is doing better and they are finding ways to help her. I have never been to Utah but your pictures make it sound amazing, who would have thought!

Glad mom is doing well!

Potentially running a Halloween half on Saturday but the weather is supposed to be awful which is making me avoid registering until the last minute possible. Hoping things clear up!

Favorite Halloween candy: Give me all the Sour Patch Kids … And I kind of weirdly love Dots too.

Those socks are AWESOME! Is there really such a thing as the sock of the month club with Brooks now?????

So glad they’ve got your mom’s health issue figured out and finding a way to not let it happen again. :)
-I would love to see the Intern I heard it’s good! I think I have a day date coming up on Sunday before I lose my husband to the woods for the month of November!! :( That might be the movie we see.
-My husband, daughter and I are doing a 5k walk for st. jude on Halloween. My daughter will be dressed as pinkie pie! :)

((On the Raybans giveaway I said I was going to reply and post more often to help keep myself inspired to run…so here I am!))

Glad to hear your mom is doing well!

How can we sign up for the sock of the month club? Is it something non-sponsored runners can do? It would be such fun!

I run a lot by myself, with my dog, and with my 5 year old in a jogging stroller in dirt/sand. My previous running partner insists we only “jog” and that does something negative to me. But, there is a mom at dance, who is a good runner. Well, I think she’s good, way better than me, and I’m intimidated to run with her. She ran yesterday while our girls danced and I chickened out and ran two miles alone while my daughter had soccer later in the day. Thursday is another dance day. Maybe I will email her and see if she wants to run on Thursday. :-)

See^^^^…that is some inspiration coming from your blog. Gotta just get out there and try something new, and be positive about it!

Once in a while I get to run with my friend Lora, and we’re running 16 miles together on Saturday. We’re dressing up like Hawaiian girls! I’m even wearing a coconut bra (over my shirt).

You see the most beautiful scenery on your runs! Glad to hear the positive progress report on your mother. Continued prayers for her.

I’m running a 5k on Saturday. It’s called the Ninja Run for Dean Turner, a little boy who’s battling leukemia. Halloween and Ninja costumes are definitely encouraged!!

Last person I ran with was myself. Lol. But Sunday I’ll be running with 50,000+ strangers at the NYC marathon. Lol.

Reese’s is always my fave candy.
Prayers for your mom. Hoping they can keep the heart happy. And yes, Adele!!!

All my prayers are going to you, your momma, and the rest of your family. I will be doing everything on my end to support your family through this difficult time, and I am so sorry that such a sweet lady as your mom has to endure this.

On a happier note, I went and saw Hotel Transylvania 2, and I loved it! Keep the Brooke videos coming, I cannot get enough of her cuteness. Thank you for introducing me to Adelle’s song, I hadn’t listened to it yet, but I love it!

German pancakes!!!!!!!! I’ve literally never met anyone else who has even heard of them, let alone eat them. We call them big pancakes around my house – I guess that’s what my dad called them when we were little and it stuck. I never even knew they were called German pancakes until a couple years ago :)
So glad to see your mom smiling :) :) and what a relief for you all that there’s a diagnosis and plan of action.

I’m glad you know the cause of your moms stroke to hopefully have it not happen again, so scary. Yay for the run. I got in a fast (for me) run last night and it felt awesome. I always traded candy with my brothers after trick or treating and my favorites were chocolate chocolate and more chocolate and they loved the sour stuff so it worked well. Miss those days!

So glad to hear your mom is doing better!

I’m considering a 5K on Halloween with my toddler in the jogging stroller! I just need to find a Minnie costume I can run in to go with his Mickey costume. I also need to gather some treats and the tablet to keep him occupied :) He usually makes it about 10 mins in the stroller at this point – let’s hope I can get him to stay happy for 3.1 miles!

love how much you love your family and that special mother/daughter bond is obviously a theme running throughout your family life. i’m just as close with my mom and we speak every day, so i’m envious you get to see yours 5 days a week. love the Halloween themed running gear! i can’t wait to dress up this wknd. i didn’t see The Intern, and the last person i ran with was my friend Sarah when she jumped into my marathon for a couple of miles a few weeks ago. love that!

I’m right there with you, I’ve listened to that Adele song more times than I can count. I can’t wait until the album is released!

Praying for your mama! She’s lucky to have such a supportive fam.<3

Last person I ran with was my little sister and her friend (I was doing a recovery run, but they kept up such a good pace! little rockstars for sure.).

Adele's song is pure magic. I went from "hey life is fine this is great" to "WHYYYY DID I CALL IT OFF?" and curled up on the floor crying soft tears.

…ok, kidding about the curled up part…and the tears…but it did make me question past relationships/life choices/my emotional stability haha. But that's why we love Adele!

My brother, who is in his 30’s, had the same stroke situation happen to him! It is so scary! They were exploring a lot of different diseases and each one seemed worse than the one before. Turns out, he had a hole in his heart, too. In fact, we learned that 1 in 4 people do! Anyway, he ended up having the procedure to fix it, but my uncle controls his ( hereditary??) with cholesterol medicine and blood thinners and feels great. I’m so happy that your mom is feeling better!

German pancakes = delicious!! My oma would make them for me all the time, and I am glad I learned her secrets before she passed. My boys and I could not ever go without!
I have plans for my first run back after my 6 week break – the date is marked in my calendar. I do however have plans for swimming next week, and some sprint tri’s have been scheduled :)

The last person I went running with was my BFF during a 10k and that makes me realize it’s been too long since I’ve run with anyone! Gotta get on that.

Fave Halloween Candy – Candy Corn.

Can’t wait for Adele’s new album!

Your trail runs always look like the best ever, it seems such a gorgeous place to run.. Glad to hear your Mom is doing well, and love the socks :)

Mom’s are the best!!! I am so glad your mom is doing better :) And Brooke’s tricks are probably the cutest things I have ever seen!

Those socks are sweet! How do you get into the sock club?

I went running with one of my best friends this evening! She and I have been running together a year now – and we did her first marathon together last April!!

THE INTERN IS AMAAAAZING. Hands down..has to be one of my top 10 favorites! Not even joking. It’s sweet and funny and you’ll love it. Promise.

No Halloween races for me this weekend, but I am running a 5k. It’s a fundraiser for a company called ZERO. They want to end prostate cancer.

Oh geez..favorite candy. I mean, I’ll probably have to go with tiny m&ms. That’s what makes me think of Halloween when I was a kid. Where did tiny m&ms go anyway?
