(Long sleeve, tank, shorts)

Happy Monday! We finished off last week with a 15-mile long run @ 7:23 pace.

We decided to throw in a 20-minute tempo on a slight down/flat section and I made the choice to see how poorly I could pace it;). I went out so fast, and I started seeing more stars with each minute. I guarantee when I am 70 years old I will still be making this mistake at times.

The canyon was especially moody on Saturday.

I often get questions about recommendations for running coaches, and goodness, do I have one for you today. I have known Kodi for years, and besides her impressive times, she is one of the best humans I have ever met. She is now offering in-person and online coaching. I asked her if I could share this about her because I know she will be able to make a big difference in so many athletes’ lives. Her PRs are a 1:12 in the half, a 2:32 marathon, and a 16:36 5k. She would love to work with any pace and goals!

“Running has been a companion to me for the majority of my life. It’s taught me to stay strong, stay patient, and love the process of living as I’ve come to respect it more and more. I think everyone could benefit from developing a loving relationship with running!

I’m glad we agreed to lift after our run the night before we went because I wouldn’t have said yes if we had come up with the idea after the run. My glutes are so dang sore from this move:

I don’t even remember what we did with our Saturday’s before the soccer season began.

After all of the games we went out with Megan D and her husband.

Sunday was a pretty relaxing day. I took the longest nap and woke up feeling like a million bucks.

Our chickens are so incredibly loved.

We hit the jackpot with a surprise visit from nieces and nephews.

Our happiest times are on the scooter.

Baseball every night is our new thing.

My blog was broken most of Friday and parts of the weekend too (hence, no Saturday post) but it is back up and I thought I would include the links from my Friday Favorites post here too:

My spring/summer non-running clothes wardrobe:

*These birkenstocks.

*These Levi denim shorts.  I have them in Ojai Luxor Last and also in Black.  Friends ask me where they are from whenever I wear them!

*This jumper… My friends have it in the shorts and pants version and I had to copy them with the jumper but I truly want all three.

*The skim dupes t-shirts… They are so soft and feel much more expensive than they actually are.

*These oversized shirts with biker shorts!

*This matching short/shirt set… I wore this so often last spring/summer.

*Andrew brought home this super light orange button-up, perfect for spring… I’m buying the matching shorts to use as a swim coverup, too.


Anyone else have chickens? How many eggs do you get?

-Usually one a day or every other day from each chicken.

Tell me a highlight (or more) from your weekend!

Do you like naps… do you wake up feeling better or worse?

Anyone else currently living on sports fields, too?

Once spring hits, I always wonder how we survived running on the snow and ice for months on end. My mood is so much better these days. 38 trips around the sun and I still forget how much the weather affects my moods. When I got home, Beck asked if he could go on a … Continue Reading

(Tank, shorts, socks) 10 miles total for my Wednesday—> 7.5 with friends before the kids went to school, and 2.5 alone after we took the kids to school while listening to Taylor Swift. Speaking of Taylor Swift, I have narrowed down the new 31-track album to my top 11 that I will listen to on repeat … Continue Reading

(Shorts, bra, tank) The liar in me came out again.  I told myself and the others that I was doing a shortened version of a ladder our friend was doing.  Instead, I did the full workout once I got moving.  If doing workouts or getting out the door is hard, I need you to lie. … Continue Reading

(Tank, shorts) Ten miles @ 8:24 pace to start the week. Now for the daily randomness: *Another tooth is gone…. The tooth fairy paid too much the first time because she didn’t have smaller bills on her, and I’m wondering if that motivated Skye to get another one out as soon as possible. *On my … Continue Reading

Today’s post is sponsored by adidas!  I truly love adidas and the amazing pieces they offer for runners, fitness lovers, and people craving a comfortable everyday look.  I can’t wait to share my Spring (thank goodness we made it out of winter) favorites with you; the colors, styles, and comfort are next level. I would … Continue Reading

8 miles @ 8:12 pace.  Running in the sun >>>>>>>> any other type of running. Beck loves being timed doing tasks and so I told him I would time him to see how long he could cuddle me.  Shockingly, he made it three minutes. Goodbyes are hard. To the airport with this girl. Our airport … Continue Reading
