We Ran Away
A couple weeks ago my 7 year old son (E, the original running buddy) says to me on the way to school… “Mom, the people that bought our house are so lucky.” Fearing his answer I took the bait… “Why E?” He replies…”Because they don’t have to go through all this pain” CRUSHED. I was… [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.

Living A Simplified Life…
Everyone says things happen for a reason but honestly that has been EXTREMELY hard to agree with lately. Life has been really tough but after a couple consecutive days of workouts, I started to get a little clarity and I came to a couple realizations… There is a LESS work to do when you don’t… [Read More]
Hold Please…
Unsettled. Lost. Directionless. All the feelings I’m feeling right now. Between being homeless (read about that here) and being injured, I don’t even know what to do with myself. You’ve been asking what the status is on all this so I’m finally sitting down to fill you in….sadly this won’t take long. Situation: Homeless First… [Read More]
Stonyfield, Smoothies and Amy Rodriguez
So remember when I introduced you to Stonyfield Organics (the brand you’ve known for 30 years) and Amy Rodriguez (the super amazing USA soccer player and mom)? She and I had a chance to talk on the phone about kids nutrition and the challenge that is getting healthy, feel-good foods into their little bodies. In… [Read More]
