The last several weeks have teeter-tottered between feeling completely normal and dreamlike. I mean, parenting a toddler is very much the same crazy, awesome chaos it was before I BQed… Speaking of the BQ, THANK YOU!!!! for all of the congratulatory messages, excitement, flowers, balloons, and more. It’s been a dream. While I’m tempted to… Continue reading Rundown: LA Taper and Recovery
It’s been 11 days since the LA Marathon. The soreness is long gone, the BQ still feels surreal, and I’m setting my sights on “what’s next” (always…). But I still have so much I want to remember about our weekend in LA, so let’s look back… That Friday was Liv’s third birthday (She’s three! I… Continue reading LA Weekend Recap
We just got home from the best weekend in Los Angeles. We celebrated Liv’s third birthday, spectated the Olympic Marathon Trials, celebrated Jared’s and my sixth wedding anniversary (plus Valentine’s Day), and I ran my first Boston Qualifier at the LA Marathon! So so so much awesomeness! Let’s work backwards though, starting with the LA… Continue reading LA Marathon 2016 Race Recap
I don’t know where January went in such a hurry, but somehow, February is here. That means we’re just 11 days away from Liv’s THIRD birthday! As bittersweet as it is to reflect on my baby turning into a little girl, I have to admit this age is so fun. The most notable update is… Continue reading January Wrap-up: 1/18-1/31/2016

Monday, 12/21 – 3.2 miles @ 9:26/mile + strength Tuesday, 12/22 – Travel Wednesday, 12/23 – 7.6 miles @… Continue reading Rundown: Christmas and New Year’s
As far as training goes, I’ve gotten a bit off track. I’ve been busy managing a crazy kid (who hates to sleep), managing myself (who doesn’t function well without sleep… zzz…), celebrating Hanukkah, working, and watching 2015 slip by too quickly! We transitioned Liv to a “big girl bed” in November and she’s still not… Continue reading Rundown: 12/7-12/20/2015
Thanksgiving was well over a week ago, but we’re just getting back into the swing of things after our holiday in Chicago. We packed so much fun, family, and food into our never-long-enough visit to my hubby’s hometown. We ate Lou Malnati’s famous pizza and Portillo’s. We had lunch in the Walnut Room, visited Millennium… Continue reading Rundown: Thanksgiving 2015
I’m excited to be blogging again and hope this space can help me document my running and motherhood adventures, as well as hold myself accountable to my (running) goals. On Sundays (or Mondays, because I’m a toddler mama, and life gets crazy), I like to do a “rundown” of the previous week and set new… Continue reading Sunday Rundown: Revel Recovery
