Whidbey Island Half Marathon
Just had to share the pictures from last weekend! This one was about mile 4-5 🙂 Feeling great and loving the sunshine that morning despite the cold temp! The rest of the pics are from the finish line….. It seems like I do this at the end of every run. I don’t… Continue reading

The sun is back… and so is my sanity!
The sun decided to emerge today so without hesitation we loaded up and decided to hit the trail!! (Yes, it did take the usual half hour to get us dressed, peeing, and loaded up!) Yep, that’s our version of sun-peeking thru the grey clouds! Basically – if its not raining, its considered “nice out”. At… Continue reading

Mushy Banana Day
Let me start by saying that yes, I do know that there are REAL people going through REAL problems out there (as opposed to my 1st world mommy problems). But really – what else is a blog if not an overly self-aware commentary of daily drivel? So the day started like most – Jake asking… Continue reading

Pre Deployment Blahs
Tonight we went to a pre-deployment “fair”. Basically it’s some tables set up in the base chapel and you go from table to table where they give you little handouts, phone numbers, and support contacts for “dealing with deployment”. Ugh. This is the part of military life I detest. The information is needed, but I… Continue reading

Everything I need to know I learned from potty training!
Boys and girls are DIFFERENT! Not better or worse – just different. Instead of comparisons, let’s celebrate the differences. Don’t hold it in or you might have an explosion! If you miss the toilet, wait and try again. There are always opportunities for do-overs! Be nice to the person whose bottom you are wiping, they… Continue reading

Success or Failure?
It really does come down to choices. All of life is a choice. Am I going to eat garbage or healthy nourishing food? Am I going to wear sweats or jeans? Am I going to workout or sit on my couch? Am I going to go for a walk or bike today? Am I going to… Continue reading

One year ago
It seems only fitting that I run a race on the anniversary of my very first. One year ago today my intentional fitness journey began. I had always wanted to do a 5k “someday”. Then I met Katy. Katy “talked me into” doing the Ford Island Bridge Run 10k. Well, why not? And she even… Continue reading

I lost 50 and other random thoughts
50 pounds. Just gotta take it in and celebrate it. I feel like this past year I’ve done quite a bit of “success celebrations”! Life isn’t always rosy, but I feel very grateful to be in my skin, in my shoes, and loving my life. We are settling in to our new home quite nicely… Continue reading

Old vs. New
It has been a crazy couple of weeks getting settled and unpacked!! Went for an icy bike ride with the kiddos today and am gearing up for working out in the morning bootcamp style with my mom and sister! Over the past week or so I’ve noticed some astonishing differences being back in my hometown… Continue reading
