give a girl the right shoes….

March 15, 2019      9 Comments

I think all runners can agree: finding the right shoes is a critical aspect of the sport. We can also probably agree that it's heartbreaking when shoe brands make changes to beloved models, creating shapes and feels our feet don't recognize and our gaits reject the unfamiliar feel. Since I've ...

What a day for speed work! I stayed off the bridge because of the cold temps and strong winds, but found a new route all the same. It definitely gave me some motivation and a challenge on International Women’s Day! 

How was your morning activity?

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we cele Happy International Women’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the achievements of our sisters around the world, and ourselves (because we are fabulous, too), as we #ChooseToChallenge in the name of outreach, awareness, solidarity, charity, and parity.

Let’s honor the best of each of us on this day!

Our Arrrowman is home! This weekend, A went off Our Arrrowman is home! 

This weekend, A went off to his “Ordeal” for Order of the Arrow. 

For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. 

Candidates had to take a 24 hour vow of silence, sleep alone under the stars with just a tarp or groundsheet, spend a day in arduous labor, and do it all on scant rations. 

He, his troop mates, and the other members of his group did an amazing job and should be so proud of themselves! We can’t wait to see where this adventure leads him next!

It’s Azalea Season!!!! This is truly such a bea It’s Azalea Season!!!!

This is truly such a beautiful time. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful blooms this year. It definitely adds some much needed color after all the rain and gray.

I might have to take my hike to the azalea gardens this week to see even more of these beauties. 

Got in a great walk, and now I’m off to pick up our newly initiated member of the OA! It’s a fabulous day!

What’s on your agenda?

Rain, rain, go away! But until then, I’m getting Rain, rain, go away! But until then, I’m getting after another ten miles!

It’s been a crazy week. A had lots of big papers and exams, Mr PugRunner is in the process of launching another incredible business venture, I learned how to administer an epi pen, and currently A is out on his “ordeal” (he was nominated for Order of the Arrow, in recognition of Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives.)

Grateful for running to help settle my nerves, keep me balanced, and serve as a reward for a full and productive week!

What does running provide for you?

Took the miles on the road today. We had a family Took the miles on the road today. We had a family field trip to check out some gorgeous street art and murals. It was good to unplug and discover some of these stunning works of art. 

Plus, we all got some fresh air and exercise and A allowed me to snap this moody photo. Everyone wins!

Days like this are always a treasure.

I hope your run brings you joy today ❤️
