Rainy Day
We woke up this morning to a nice drizzle. Something that does not happen too often here in Montana on a fall day. Listening to the rain while laying in bed makes the day start off right. It calms everything down including the haze of smoke that has been over the valley this week. This…

Just One Month Away
One month from today is the marathon. I will be out there hitting the streets of Portland probably thinking about the hundreds of miles I logged, hours of hitting the pavement and trails, preparing myself mentally for that very moment. I wonder how I will be feeling. Probably nervous as to whether I am actually…

The Weekend’s Adventures
This past weekend, Brent and I had a fairly active weekend. We enjoyed a nice 16 mile run which went amazing. Then we settled down for a few hours before we headed out on a walk around downtown Bozeman. After that little jaunt, we headed up to the Hyalite Canyon area where we enjoyed a…

16 Miler – Killed it!
We started off our morning run with staggered starts once again. This is the best way for us to reach our potentials and listen to our own bodies. It was only 42 degrees when I headed out the door, so I quickly went and grabbed my arm warmers for a second try. Part of me…

Runnin’ Thoughts
With my next half marathon less than two weeks away, I am off the wall excited. I will be running solo. No one else has registered to run the race purposely because I am running it, nor did I register because someone else is running it. I do know others that are running, but this…

Young Love
Lately, Brent and I have been addicted to the new Mat Kearney album titled “Young Love.” We had been playing it over and over using Spotify. We ran out to get a few things at Target last week, so I grabbed the CD while Brent was off looking at some technology thingy. We continued walking…

Tastiness
Last night, we had some wonderful friends over for dinner. I made mahi mahi tacos, pineapple salsa, and individual apple crisps. With the leftover pineapple salsa, I decided to make pineapple chicken for dinner tonight. I served it with a side of rice, a side of avocados, a dollop of sour cream, and topped it…

Friday night Brent and I took off with the Subaru loaded with camping gear and our friends, Scott and Sara Swanson (newlyweds)! We headed south of Bozeman to the Gravelly Mountain Range where we had ran the half at the Madison Marathon. We had been so impressed by the scenery and wanted a chance at…
