This is our first summer experiencing a true “summer break” as parents. With E moving from Kindergarten to First grade, it feels like the summer breaks we remember as kids. Up till now, I didn’t really notice summer as a break in the year or as a time to slow down. Life just went on….kids… [Read More]
It’s 2:15…
I told myself I would start running at 2:00. I’ve staled as long as I can. The sheets have been stripped off the bed and are in the process of cleaning. The kids have had lunch and are happily playing with Noni. I’ve searched the garage looking for the pieces of my Camelbak and cleaned… [Read More]
Pressing Rewind and a Training Update
Isn’t it weird how emotionally tied to the weather we are? All it takes is a week’s worth of rainy days to make you appreciate the nice days. We have been in a crappy weather pattern for what feels like weeks so when the weather broke this weekend, we took advantage! We spent most of… [Read More]
16 Miles, 2 Birthday Parties, 1 Soccer Game and Snapchat
I’m tired. Really tired. Why do you ask? Because this weekend was cra-cra (can a 36 year old say that?). It was the perfect storm all chaos and I loved every minute of it. Let’s recap shall we? Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Louis – I promise to do a full recap of the two races… [Read More]

Twilight Yoga With Sante at The Chase Park Plaza + GIVEAWAY!
When you think yogi, you probably don’t think of me. I don’t blame you. I love to stretch but have felt a little less interested in yoga practice. With all the injury and sickness the past couple weeks, it was obvious that I needed a change of pace so when The Chase Park Plaza and… [Read More]
Introducing the New Balance 990v4
New Balance has been part of our lives for a long time. Growing up, it’s the only sneaker I saw my dad wear. Then when E was born and started walking, it was the only brand we could find that had a shoe that would fit his extra wide foot comfortably. In fact, it lead… [Read More]
HerrinFesta Triathlon and 10K Recap and MORE
Excuse me while I try to pry myself out of bed. I’m beat but for REALLY REALLY good reasons. It’s weekends like this that make it all worth it. We went home for HerrinFesta Italiana, the festival held in my hometown. The backstory is that Herrin had a large population of Italian Immigrants and so… [Read More]
It’s Speed Season in St. Louis & 5 Speed Workouts
Oh man! Let’s take it all in! The weather is fan-freaking-tastic right now and I just can’t get enough time outside. It has been marvelously mild this month. Normally, we’ve heated up by now so the fact that we had a weekend in the 70’s just felt like heaven. I know what it could be… [Read More]
