Revel Canyon City Marathon Training Recap

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

Rundown: LA Taper and Recovery

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

We transitioned Liv to a “big girl bed” in November and she’s still not… Continue reading Rundown: 12/7-12/20/2015

Rundown: Thanksgiving 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

Sunday Rundown: Revel Recovery

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
