Lauren’s Journal: Catching Up

I feel like a little catching up post is in order. I am going to start posting fun life posts on Thursdays. Thursday Thoughts is becoming a thing! Life has been a mix of crazy and nothing at the same time. Nothing like being the mom of two tiny humans 18 months apart.

The weather where we live has been crazy. From the news it looks like that is the case for most people! It has been nothing but rain here for weeks! We are all going a bit stir crazy!

We have tried to sneak out during the dry times to get some walks in and play outside.

Luckily at least one day on the weekends has been pretty nice. I’ve been able to sneak out for some longer runs.

Getting back into shape is having such a positive effect on my mental health! I’m running super slow but I’m enjoying the process and celebrating all the tiny victories!

I’ve disconnected from my previous running milestones and it’s been nice not comparing everything to what I used to do. Instead I picked a day in June and claimed it a fresh start. I would recommend it, if you are coming back from some time off or injury. It’s refreshing!

I have officially signed up for the Disney Wine and Dine 10k in November. I can’t wait! I’ve never participated in a Disney race before; but, everyone says they prices are worth it. We shall see!

I’m thinking about adding another race to my calendar in September or October. I’m thinking maybe a 5k in September and a 10k in October. Still doing some looking for those! I will probably keep those local. Traveling with kids for a race sounds extra hectic.

I am going to try and include life updates and fun family adventures on Thursdays! The rest of my journal can be found here!
