What happens when you take two spastic dogs on a run? Chaos. Pure and simple. Late this morning, I changed into running gear to take Sadie and Kona on a five-mile run around our neighborhood. Notice how Sadie is right by my side? She’s been my little Mini Me all day in an effort to…

This morning I ran my fourth half marathon! I finished the Women’s Half Marathon, but it wasn’t pretty. I awoke at 5:50 a.m. and ate a Luna bar (my usual pre-race breakfast) and bowl of oatmeal. (I normally try to keep my pre-race meals on the smaller side because I cramp up so easily and…

After my hair cut this morning (just a trim!), Ryan and I headed to the Women’s Half Marathon race expo at the Vinoy (the same hotel where we got married!). My sister ended up going earlier with my dad to register for the 5K after they took a spinning class at the hotel’s gym this…
