Continue reading →: It’s Been Four Weeks
If this were any other year, this would be a post about my wonderful September running update. I would talk about the fall season (best running season!), getting in some good races (Akron?) and total mileage. Alas, I had zero miles of running in September. The last time I had a…

Continue reading →: Just Keep Lifting
Another week down and another week with a broken toe and no running. Especially now that FALL is here (the best running season), it’s been a struggle for me mentally. I realize how much I rely on running to keep me sane, but I’m grateful to have other ways of…

Continue reading →: Apple Crumb Muffins
We eat a lot of muffins in our house. They make the perfect snack for my kids to bring to school, and they’re easily portable enough to bring to sporting events. We recently went apple picking, so I was looking for a way to use up some of our apples…

So let me start off by saying – no, I didn’t break another bone. My toe is the only thing broken on me. Instead, this week started off with my 6-year-old breaking her wrist! My poor girl was on the monkey bars, fell and landed poorly. She was crying and…

Well, this was a mixed-up and meh week! Not only was I sick (yay for covid), but we had a few other things going out that made it a different-from-usual week. With school starting halfway through the week, I was out of routine. With getting COVID, I was tired, under…

I’m back from my girls’ trip! I mentioned last week, but I was lucky enough to spend last weekend in Santa Barbara with my best friends from high school. We always talk about doing a yearly trip away, but our last weekend away was before the pandemic. It was overdue…

Continue reading →: Oh wait, another trip
Well, when I wrote last week’s post, I shared that after 2 different long weekends out of town, I was back and getting back into our routine of summer at least. Well, this week it happened again – another break in the routine! But for a good reason — I…
