Crushin' it today! While I didn't achieve my goal of getting up and out early, we definitely hit the miles needed. Marathon training is in full swing over here! We also beat the real rain. #badassmotherrunner #themotherrunner #brooksrunning #brooksforlife #training #runner #racetoremember (at Saylorville Reservoir)

Yay!!! My books came! Just waiting on one more and I'll have all three to read over the coming months. Listening to the @themotherrunner podcast while I train or do the normal boring mom/adult stuff has been fun and kept me motivated. If anyone wants to borrow them let me know. #themotherrunner #badassmotherrunner (at Des Moines, Iowa)

In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag some friends and make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them. Here are mine, in no particular order (except that Perks is my favorite)::

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky 
2. The Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 
3. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 
4. Matilda - Roald Dahl 
5. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes - Bill Watterson 
6. Animal Farm - George Orwell 
7. Bitter is the New Black - Jen Lancaster 
8. Odd Thomas series - Dean Koontz 
9. Macbeth - William Shakespeare 
10. Where the Sidewalk Ends - Shel Silverstein

Tagging:: chrystimoreorless, auspiciouspatti, runswithpoodle, themotherrunner… I haven’t been paying close attention, so there’s a chance these ladies have already participated. :D

Where even are you?

Hillsdale. It's kinda the best ever. We're having a 4th of July party with a zillion other kiddos and friends if you + fam want to come.

it feels really friend-love-dorky, but i'm so proud of Bonnie (themotherrunner) for running her first marathon today. she is such an inspiration for me when it comes to wanting something and just getting out there and doing it. 

so many congrats to my lovely and gorgeous friend for finishing your first marathon, getting a kick-ass job and being an all around killer babe! you deserve all the awesome!
