I woke up Wednesday with NO ankle pain at all! I was pumped. I got 5 miles in at 8:34 and felt really good. The only time I would feel my ankle was when I was using it to change direction, and even then, it was just sore. YAY! My knee started bothering me a…
This little one had been sticking to my side ever since we got home from Colorado. We were gone for 18 days, so I think she’s worried we will leave again. Aspen keeps close, too, but she just stares at me, which starts to drive me crazy after awhile. Lu wants to be touching me…
I had a reader ask me to share how Jake and I met and started dating, which I thought was a wonderful idea! I’ve been reflecting on our story a lot lately and it just makes me so happy. I can’t believe I get to spend forever with the man of my dreams. Jake is…
On Friday, I grabbed lunch with my parents. My Momma was pretty excited that her new glasses matched her shirt. She’s pretty goofy! I showed her this picture and she clapped. Never a dull moment with her! <3 Then I came home and cleaned our whole house! Well, minus the bathrooms. That’s on my to-do…
I ran a bunch of errands yesterday, so this will be a short post. After my run, I had a banana, then I was still hungry, so I ended up just having my lunch. Leftovers from the other night! Mmm. So good. I just love brussels with honey and balsamic vinegar on them. I can’t…
Tuesday night, we were craving Cesar’s Old Mexico – our favorite Mexican restaurant. It’s amazing. I got my staple, the al pastor and chicken tacos, sans tortillas, on top of lettuce. It’s SO good. Jake got his three tacos, lengua, al pastor, and carnitas. He shared his lengua taco with me. It’s SO good. It’s…
Today I will cover the last 50 miles of the 100 mile race! I didn’t do a very good job explaining the timeline of the races yesterday, sorry! The marathon was in June, the 50 bike (racers could also choose to do the 50 mile run, but Jake and John both did the bike) was…
I am going to split the race recap into two posts – this post will have the first 50 miles and tomorrow I will talk about the second 50 and Jake proposing. <3 Jake is also going to do a guest post on here either late this week or early next week to share his…
I will post a race-recap tomorrow, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am going home with a LEADMAN! Jake finished the 100 mile run in 27 hours and 45 minutes! I could not be more proud!!!! I just keeping looking at him and thinking about how hard he has worked for this…
Getting some MP3 players and an iPod ready for Jake on Saturday! I think he is really loving my iTunes library…Eye-roll. Girly music is good for the soul. I had a couple of trainings I needed to finish on the computer for the online class I’m teaching at UMSL (University of Missouri – St. Louis).…
