A blog about all things related to the sport of running
I’ve been a little bit giddy lately – from the Women’s Running Cover, to my Runner’s World twitter mention, to my I RUN THIS BODY shirts. 2012 really feels like ones of the most amazing, transforming years of my life. I want to make this moment last in my heart for as long as I can. [...]
Last Thursday I went to my mailbox and THIS happened…. Friday I was at Target in the book section and noticed they had magazines – why not check right? THIS happened…. Colton, Miles and I jumped up and down with excitement. I am a person who is not usually at a loss for [...]

Little person #1 has Vacation Bible School this week which means if I want to get in a run in the mornings I have to leave the house early in order to be back in time to get the three of them ready and get her there by 9. This morning she was in NO MOOD [...]
Yesterday I went for an 8 mile easy run in the afternoon. It was raining in the morning so a triple stroller run was not an option and I WAS NOT in the mood to run on the treadmill. It felt easy because of the pace, but not so easy because of the heat – if that even [...]
Happy 4th of July from my family to yours! Hope you all are enjoying the day and spending it with people you love. Thank you to everyone who has been voting for me in the Women’s Running Magazine Cover Model Contest. I seriously feel loved and blessed that so many people have been willing [...]
