The past couple months have been a whirlwind of travel, excitement, and change for Team Lurie. We spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas and Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s in Hawaii and Mexico! In between those unforgettable family trips, I ran my 27th marathon. And last week, Jared turned 36 (so we’re officially the same age… Continue reading 2020: The Year of Play
With the holidays winding down and only a few days left in 2018, I’m dusting off the keyboard… I always intended to pop in with race recaps and kid updates, because those are so special to me, but blogging fell to the back-burner this year. I’m planning an intentional comeback in 2019, but not before… Continue reading Rundown of 2018
Fourteen weeks ago, I started training for Revel Canyon City — my first post-Leo marathon! Every week, I’ve thought: “I need to pop on the blog to write about this,” but life with two kids is crazy (and chaotic, and exhausting, and awesome)! The challenges are never-ending, but I’ve kept up with about 70% of… Continue reading Revel Canyon City Marathon Training Recap
Written: Thursday, 11/10 How we’re growing?: At 20 weeks, baby’s about the length of a banana (or the size of a gameboy! Remember those?!) and nearly one full pound! The bump is definitely growing… How I’m feeling? / What we’re up to?: These last couple weeks have been so full of awesome, that all my… Continue reading Cookie: 20 weeks + Race Recap
Oh hey, it’s August already! I guess I should (finally) recap June, huh? We kicked off June with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon, which you can read about here. It was my last race til November (at least for now), but I’ve been living vicariously through my girl, Eve, who broke 4-hours at Rock… Continue reading June Rundown
May was jam-packed with celebrations, visitors, and other adventure-y goodness that I don’t want to forget, so grab a cup of coffee, and reminisce with me for a minute… I happen to love the seasonal marine layer that’s to blame for San Diego’s “May Gray & June Gloom,” because it’s cloudy and cool enough to… Continue reading May Rundown
Happy July, friends! Anyone feel like reliving April with me for a sec? Okay, good! We kicked off April with the All Day 20K — that’s four back-to-back 5Ks! So. Much. Fun. We were two months late, but I finally got Liv to the pediatrician for her three year check-up. She weighed in at 33… Continue reading April Rundown
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
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
The New Year always starts off with a bang for us, because January 7th is Jared’s birthday! (And, my favorite part, for four months, Jared and I are the same age! Then he goes back to teasing me for being older…) We both had a full week of work, so the birthday celebration was perfectly… Continue reading Rundown: 1/4-1/17/2016
