When I looked at the photos on my phone from this week, it was basically ALL puppy pics. I can't help it; Ruth is so darn cute! I'm so happy we have a second dog. I'm not saying that this first full week with our new family member wasn't a lot of work, it was! Getting up multiple times in the night for potty breaks definitely left me in a bit of a sleep-deprived daze!I did manage to get in all Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 18 Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon!
Hello and welcome to July! Summer is in full swing over here. Here's how training for the Indianapolis Marathon went this holiday week. Monday: Total rest. I woke up to lightning and thunder.

Weekly Recap: 4 Weeks Until the Brookings Marathon!
Happy Sunday! I'm in Boston right now, getting ready to cheer for Dustin at the marathon tomorrow. It's shaping up to be a much better day weather-wise than last year! It's so fun to be here without the nerves and the stress of racing tomorrow. :) I had my fair share of that in 2017!
