Project 365: Week 5

So, it’s February already. I kind of feel there wasn’t much happening in January, except cold. And cold. And some more cold.

Jan. 26

A nice afternoon called for a long run outside.

Jan. 27

Watching the trash truck.

Jan. 28

The end of a long day called for hot chocolate and a movie (The Perks […]

The Magic of RunDisney #iPPP

It’s hard to put my Disney World experience into one, reasonably-sized blog post.

So, I’ll break it into three parts.

1) The Race.

Because of my location, I trained on my own while the rest of the Kansas chapter trained together. Needless to say, they were pretty in sync when it came to […]

Disney, Here I Come. #iPPP

I’ve completed my training (save for a few low-mile runs this week), printed off my information sheets and schedules, chosen outfits for all of the kids to wear while I’m gone, applied my purple Jamberry nail wraps, gathered my running necessities.

I’ve printed off my list of Who I’m Running For, […]

My Fitness Goals for 2014 #Mamavation

Exactly one year ago, I published a post that had me anxious, my heart beating a little faster, just a little bit scared, and raring to go.

Back then, I was in a place of feeling sluggish and ready to be active again. And, I met all of my goals…officially running […]

Project 365 (Week 50)

Dec. 8

We’re in a bad stage with Erv….if he naps, he wants to stay up longer than I even do (like in this picture, taken at 10 pm). If he doesn’t, the whining and crying start at 4pm and last until he goes to bed. I don’t like it. He […]

I Like To Move It.

I recently said that I don’t like to get down on the floor and play with my kids. But, there are things I love to do with them….I love jumping on the trampoline, I love cranking up the radio and shaking some booty when we’re cleaning or cooking, and I […]

Project 365 (Week 46)

Do you ever have those weeks when your kids are just…..awful?? Like, you talk and talk and talk and nothing is being heard? Yeah. That. Nov. 10 World Run Day! It was actually a really mild night, and my mom and I went to the track to run our 5K. […]

Project 365 (Week 45)

This was the week of the mild but excruciatingly annoying stomach bug.

Nov. 3

Sunday was a particularly ugly day in stomach-bug land, and after Great Wolf Lodge, I was exhausted. I didn’t take any pictures, but I did take a very short video. (But, I don’t really know how to embed […]

The Lonely Runner #iPPP

I may have mentioned that I met my 500 miles in 2013 running goal. And I alluded to the fact that I spent a lot of time on the treadmill in the last 10+ months.

What I didn’t say was that “a lot of time” is probably 75% of the time, […]

Project 365 (Week 42)

Oct 13

I made it home from CA and was reunited with this smooshy face.

Oct 14

Henry turned 8! So, of course, we went to the dentist? All four kids got great reports, and Henry got balloons and other extra birthday goodies.

Oct 15

Nana’s birthday! We took goofy pictures and put them on […]
