The Nightmare is over…How It Happened
If you’ve been following my Instagram, you know by now we finally found a house and an amazing one at that! What I didn’t share with you yet is how it happened. Mainly because I was scared that I would jinx it somehow. Every step of the process was agonizing and exciting and I worried… [Read More]
Springing Into Race Season With Big River

New Age New Hurdles: Childhood Anxiety
When I started this blog over seven years ago…actually probably about 8 to the day (WOW!!) I started it as a way of airing my fears of becoming a parent and to share the journey no matter how raw it was. In those early months before two kids, I shared my concerns about becoming a… [Read More]
LA Marathon Weekend And The Race That Wasn’t Supposed To Happen
I have so many thoughts I’m struggling with where to start this post. Do I start with the experience? Do I start with the emotional story that was the build up to it? Do I go right. Into a blow by blow of the events? I’m still processing it all but I’m on the plane… [Read More]

Getting Local with Big River Running
Guys….I’ve been running. My longest is only 5 miles but it’s better than nothing. It’s amazing how much endurance I’ve lost. My knee is still not 100% and I’m afraid it’s just my new normal.

The Hip Bone’s Connected to the…
Oh running…how I’ve missed you! If you’re not on Instagram or Strava, you missed that I’ve been testing out my bum knee a little this week. After meeting a couple times with the physical therapist at SSM, I’ve learned that I won’t do any damage to my knee by trying to run and that’s really… [Read More]
Acceptance Doesn’t Mean You’re Settling
Hi guys! I’m waving at you from the basement of my in-laws, which is where we STILL are. There has been no real progress on the house front I’m sad to say. It’s been two months. Insert sigh here** On a separate but equally frustrating note, running…I feel like I actually have some progress to… [Read More]
