To Go or Not to Go
Morning Runs Do you ever have those mornings where you really want to run, but are crunched for time? Let’s face it. Most morning runs start out this way. For me, I really do love running. I have my mind set on running every week day and then to see how the weekend plays out.…

The Best Running Buddy
Running Buddy I had been running for several years and had convinced my husband to run with me a few times. I even got him and my sister to run my first marathon with me. It was an exciting start to my running, but then something happened. We all slowly stopped running together. Every now…

The Training Continues
I remember the days where I blogged almost weekly or daily about running. I had a desire to share with the world how my runs went and it seemed as though people really enjoyed reading the posts. Now, I just don’t know what to say about running. We are about half way through our training…

Girls Weekend Celebration
Over this last weekend, my mom and I drove and met my sister and one of my best friends in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. As great as the weekend was, it was way too short. I could have spent days with these ladies. They are some of my favorites! I couldn’t have asked for a better…

And Another
I don’t know if you remember about a month ago, I posted a blog about Brent and I beginning our marathon training. He had ran my first marathon with me back in 2011 at the Portland Marathon here in Oregon. From then on, he said he would never run a marathon again unless it was…

Feels Like Home
Everybody around the Gorge is talking about all this snow that is still on the ground. By talking, I really mean complaining. Yes, I am stuck at my parents without a car. Yes, it is too icy to take Elijah out in the stroller with the hills. Yes, I am getting a little cabin fever…

2016: Year in Review
As I sit down to write this little recap of the year’s events, I can’t help but feel thankful. A lot has happened this year, if keeping up with Elijah constantly growing and changing wasn’t enough, I started looking for a new job closer to my family (and Jess’s parents) in the Pacific Northwest. Let’s…

Flat Tire
My escape from reality has been my runs lately. Although, I guess I’m not really escaping reality when I spend most of that time thinking about what is going on in our lives right now. However, it is a time that calms me down and brings me a little peace. I talk with God about…

Once a dream
Running down along the Riverfront Trail in The Dalles, Oregon, a distant dream came back to mind when I saw the National Geographic Ship Sea Bird at The Dalles Port. Ah, to be on board that ship and to have a photo published in the magazine. That was the dream. The dream started back in…

Run of Course…
What to do to pass the time while Brent is at work? Why run of course! Now if you have ever been in the Columbia River Gorge and stopped in any town running along side the river, you will know how hilly they all are. Also, if you know the area of Bozeman that I…
