Disclaimer: This is a sponsored conversation written on behalf of Suave via MSB New Media. As always, all opinions are my own. It’s hard to believe that five years ago, I was preparing for two major life events, the birth of my daughter and the deployment of my husband. Unfortunately, those events were set to coincide with one another. Thankfully, my husband was able to stay behind and rejoin his squadron two weeks after the birth of our daughter, Cora. I’m still so grateful that {Read More}

If there is one thing that you have probably noticed around this blog, I cross-train in spurts. I’m not exactly sure why I am so hit or miss since I know the value it brings to my running. Back in 2013, I cross-trained consistently. This resulted in setting personal records in the 5k, 10k, and {Read More}

September 11, 2015 by 16 Comments
So, lately, I suck at blogging and it seems to be pushed to the bottom of the priority list every darn week. It’s not that I don’t have plenty of ideas whirling around in my head. It’s just that the motivation to put it down on paper, or this website, disappears when my free time is limited to late night and early mornings. Thanks to the lovely ladies of the DC Trifecta (Mar + Cynthia + Courtney) and their Friday Five {Read More}

August 19, 2015 by 6 Comments
This weekend, I had the opportunity to volunteer with Team Red, White and Blue at the West Point Triathlon. When there was a call out for volunteers, I signed our little family up to help with the adult triathlon. Jake and Cora were later filled in on my bright idea. Seriously though… I run so many races and truly am thankful for the support of volunteers on each and every race day. I thought that it would be a great way {Read More}

For the fourth year in a row, we celebrated the Fourth of July in Freeport, Maine. It’s one of my favorite places to relax and run! After missing out on the L.L. Bean 10k last year, I knew I wanted to be in town for the 2015 L.L. Bean 10k & Family Fun Run. I love the support that the Freeport community brings to this race each and every year. With no more than 1,500 runners, the size of this race {Read More}
