We had yet another beautiful week here in Northeast Ohio. We kicked off the week with 70+ degree temps and it was a perfect fall week. The mornings were brighter, the weather was gorgeous – it felt like summer (70s/80s) in the beginning of the week, the sun was shining,…

Whoa – where did October go? I feel like I blinked and not only was summer over, but it was November. My fall running has been a blur and not as good as usual – I took all September and part of October off thanks to the broken toe. But,…

This week was my perfect fall week. The weather was gorgeous – it felt like summer (70s/80s) in the beginning of the week, the sun was shining, and the leaves were changing. I was lucky enough to get outside every day for a walk, run or hike, and take advantage…

Now that I’m back running, AND still wanting to keep up my weight lifting, I’ve come to a dilemma – how do I fit it all in? AND fit it all in before 6 a.m. when my day with the kiddos starts? This week, I tried to fit it in.…

I’m now at week five of having a broken toe, and I’m starting to get back out there to run. I’m starting slow and short, since my toe still doesn’t feel 100% normal, but I’m not sure how it’s supposed to feel, so maybe not normal is normal? Sunday started…

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…

Continue reading →: Two Broken Bones In Our House
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…
