• Every run can't be your best. I know that's no fun. . You do everything right. Your body is ready to go. BUT it just doesn't come together. . It wasn't a bad run for me, it just wasn't what I wanted. . @f3eventschicago puts on one heck of a race. I ran their Halloween Half and this one, the Lake Half. LOVED both ❤️ . I'm trying to reflect and learn. Certainly never one to make excuses. It snowed❄️, and Snowed❄️❄️, AND SNOWED❄️❄️❄️ through the ENTIRE 13.1 miles. . Don't get me wrong, I love snow BUT this was that wet heavy snow that turns to water the second it hits you. By the time I hit the finish line, I was SOAKED to the bone💧 . I didn't realize how cold I actually was til I got home. I literally crawled under a pile of blankets for TWO hours before I warmed up. #BRR . Every race is a lesson, every race is a gift. Be sure to SAVE this post if you're looking for a good race. #f3eventschicago is TOP NOTCH. . How was your weekend? ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ #snow #blizzard #chicago #chicagoblogger #chicagosnow #snowchaser #snowchicago #winterrunner #halfmarathon #womensrunningcommunity #fitfam #fitnessjourney #runaddict #runnergirl #medalmonday #medalmonday🏅

  • I believe in truth and kindness. I feel like they have been taking a beating lately. . When I woke to the news of the impeachment trial rules, it bummed me out. Why is it the truth is so feared by so many? . Then, I did what I do whenever I'm chewing on feelings. 🏃‍I purposely pulled on my Captain America 🇺🇸 leggings and I went for a 5 mile run. . One of the hardest things for me to reconcile for as long as I can remember is, the hero doesn't always win. That is such a bitter pill for me to swallow. THE HERO DOESN'T ALWAYS WIN. . BUT, the hero ALWAYS gets up and keeps on fighting. Warning, Marvel references ahead. . I realized on my run, we are NOT in Endgame. We're not. We are in Infinity War. BRILLIANT movie >> TRAGIC ending. I am bracing myself for the tragic ending to this trial. . Right now, we are the witnesses to history. Pay attention. Be informed. . I know who my Senators are. I write them letters. I know how they voted. I believe they are fighting the good fight. I believe, THEY believe in truth and kindness. . Who is your Senator? Do you believe in them? Are they showing up for you? If you don't know, Google it. Get informed. . Come November, we'll be in Endgame. The portals will open and WE will FINALLY enter the fight. Will you be ready? .

  • I need to lighten up heading into the weekend. This week was STRESSFUL. SO I'm telling you a story that will make you chuckle. . Over the summer, Maggie and I took a walk at the lily pond. There are mama geese all over that path. We love the geese 🐦. They're cute and I'd pet them if they'd let me. . Not everyone feels that way about the geese. A lot of people in the city don't like them. Maggie and I were literally talking about our love for the geese when a mama goose got a notion in her head that we were a little too close for comfort. . I'm not kidding when I tell you, this goose got a running start while squawking and attacked Maggie and I. 😱 Blonde hair, screaming, angry goose squawks ... it was PANDEMONIUM. . Everyone who I have told this story to has asked me, Did you get video of this? . No, I did not get video of my goose attack. While Maggie will tell you I used her as a human shield, I can assure you I did NOT. 😂 It all happened so fast and just like that it was over. . Yes, if I had video, I would have shared it here for a laugh. AND yes, I give those geese a WAY wider boundary now that I've survived a goose attack 😂 . What about you, any animal encounters on your endeavours out into the world?

  • Happy Monday friends! Got the chance to test out 3 active wear sets from @brofitwear this weekend. I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality and fit! . My leggings break down into three categories: run, workout and photograph only. I don't like running in leggings when I have to pull them up during a run. It makes me sad. . Typically, I can workout in leggings that don't pass the run test. Only once have I put a pair into the photograph only. . All 3 sets from @brofitwear passed the run test. I LEGIT love them and have my eye on a few more sets. Their company is based in Brazil BUT shipping via FedEx was super fast. My sets arrived in under 3 days. . You can check them out on IG, or hit the link in my bio. I'll leave it up all week. Curious, are you all about color with your workout wear or do you keep it simple? 🏃‍⠀ 🏃‍⠀ 🏃‍⠀ 🏃‍ #brofitwear #fitclothing #fitness #fitnessappael #fitnessblogger #fitnessfashion #fitnessfreak #fitnesslife #fitwear #kickbuttlookcute #getoutside #chicagowinter #chicagostyle #chicagoblogger #lincolnpark

  • You know my love for @philzcoffee Dancing Water Blend is FIERCE. ☕ . Now that we have our very own Phiz 4 blocks away I am spoiled. That said, I can't always find my moment to enjoy a Philz brewed cup. . Luckily, I have my Dancing Water at home AND my @yeti for coffee on the go! My little friend Leo, who I am cat sitting for loves sharing a cup with me ☕😺❤️ . Who do you enjoy a cup with? . #ad #howdoyouphilz #fueledbyphilz #cupofcozy #philzseason #chicagocoffee #coffeecoffeecoffee #coffeetime
