I bought Brooke shorts to match with me. 11 miles @ 8:25 average.

Don’t be surprised if I get a restraining order placed on me due to the number of pictures I have taken of Clayton Young and Connor Mantz (just Clayton yesterday). I’m so excited each time I see them.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that oatmeal cookies are not an acceptable breakfast item.


The day ended with a rained out game and Skye falling asleep on the fields!

Now for the tangents of the day:

*I didn’t know the Garmin Fenix 7 had a flashlight on it! You can even set it to blink on and off if you run in the dark so cars can see you!

*Soccer has started feeling stressed with the big kids (the below game resulted in the coach of the other team getting a red card, haha), but I have found if I have something to chew on to get out my feelings, it keeps me in my seat, quiet, and calm (calmer) haha.

*I met Karen (the founder of Lou Lou and Company) at a soccer game. I asked her what she did, and she said she had a company for baby items, and then Beck walked over with his favorite blanket in the world wrapped around him, and she said, ‘Oh, that is one of our blankets.’ Ummm, that is when I realized she has created a massive company that I have loved and bought from for years. I brought Beck home from the hospital in one of her outfits. Anyway, I had a great lunch with Karen and Burgandy, and we talked about all things blogging and social media for hours.

*She sent me home with a new blanket for Beck (the same one as his favorite blanket) and my new favorite blanket, which feels like a treat to wrap myself in. The materials she uses are next-level on every piece she sells.

*Speaking of baby things, we sold our double jogging stroller. I didn’t even think twice about it before they came to buy it. But then, as I watched them walk away with it, I sobbed on the front porch. We are feeling done but seeing the era come to a close is killing me.

*Let’s be honest, though; I really just want to freeze time at this point and continue to happily sleep through the night most nights and laugh with them all day long.

*If anyone has a long treadmill run to do, you should watch the Adizero: Road to Records 2024 Event from Sunday… You will get 4+ hours of some of the best runner’s in the world (and a new world record)!

*You know I am obsessed with my adidas 5″ inch shorts and wear them multiple times a day, if you are wanting a bit longer, the 7″ are currently on sale for $27 and only $14 if you sign up for the adidas club. The run a little big so size down one size. I have hooked so many people on these shorts.

*Time to get some tonsils out!

Tonsil removal tips for us?!

Have any tangents today?

Any eras for you coming to a close?

Anyone have a watch with fancy tricks?

(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 … Continue Reading

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
