So I got the itch...I am signed up to do the half marathon at the DC Wonder Woman Run in Gurnee, IL on June 9th. I'll be tackling my 5th half marathon and am looking forward to racing through Six Flags, trying to beat my PR! I am also thrilled to be selected as an ambassador for the race. The race series has 5k, 10k and half marathon options in cities across the US, along with allll the Wonder Woman swag, post-race party, live music- the works! In preparation for the big day, I am Read More
September Fitness Check In
In the past, summer has been my season for a busy race schedule. And while I still love a good race, it's a bit more challenging this season with a toddler and a now 3 month old. Regardless, I still love to be active and aim to work up a sweat 5 days a week. My current workout schedule consists of 2-3 days of spinning, 1-2 days of strength training and 1 day a week to actually run (which is usually pushing my three year old for a 5k loop in my neighborhood.) For quite a while, I was crushing Read More
My Favorite Winter Workouts
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mizuno. The opinions and text are all mine. Every winter when those cold temps hit Chicago, I take my workouts inside. For these winter months, I trade in my neighborhood stroller route and trail runs for indoor workouts. Although I do have a treadmill and use it pretty regularly, I often reach for a variety of workouts so I get in some strength/agility training, which I've found really helps me when it comes time to get back Read More
My Next Race: Gurnee Days 10K Race & 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk
A 5k with my buddy... (Man, laying back, enjoying the ride with a handful of Cheerios sure sounds nice, right?!) After the Wisconsin Half Marathon in May, I haven't been running all that regularly-- whoops! I've been mixing it up with my workouts, but I still do a 5k stroller run route with my buddy at least once a week. I've been missing longer runs, so I'm excited to do one of my favorite 10k races in August. If you are local, check out the details and join me! The details: Gurnee Days Read More
Links and Loves from the Week
I started training for my 4th half marathon a couple weeks ago…first few long runs have been on the treadmill till the temps are somewhat tolerable. That said, anyone have a good series on Netflix they’d recommend? Speaking of, geeking out over these impressive journal designs runners have come up with. The cutest app for documenting your kiddos. (Wish there was an Android version- does anyone know of a similar one?) Tweets that sum up your life with 3 year olds. Hilarious. How to Read More

Gurnee Days Trail Run 2016 #GoGurnee
Runs these days look a bit different, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I have a great running buddy! In an effort to stick to my fitness routine, I signed up for one race a month (July through October). July’s race was Antioch’s Run for Freedom over the 4th. It was Bryce’s first official race running with my in the stroller. Despite a crowded start, we finished in 26:18, 4th in my age group and first stroller finishers- woo woo! The race for August is one I’ve done for a few Read More
Links and Loves {March}
If you're happy and you know it, stick out your tongue... A few links and loves for this month that I wanted to share... I'm definitely watching this next season of Dancing with the Stars. Between Stephanie Tanner and a fellow VU alum, it will be epic. Totally in love with this artwork from Minted that I created using the obscene amount of Instagram photos I have of him. (And don't forget to check out my post to win a $150 credit!) In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, I'm grabbing Read More
