Today was beyond a great day. Our oldest turned four today. We gave him an extra special day and it made my heart happy.  He woke up to balloons and presents! I think he was most excited for the balloon!  Then we went to a restaurant that allows you to make your own pancakes. Our little guy loved it!  He then got to go to Five Below and pick out a toy. He choose trash trucks. Not surprisingly. We are in a huge trash truck phase.  Later in the day I snuck away for a 2.5 mile run. I decided to run on the treadmill today to make sure I…

We stayed up a little later than normal to watch the Super Bowl and let the kids play late. I opted for an afternoon run and shut the alarm off. Everyone slept till about 6pm. I’ll take it. Seems like every time I turn my alarm off everyone sleeps in. When I set my alarm everyone is up early!  We spent the morning playing around the Kennedy Space Center. The kids had a blast. Then they fell asleep on the way home and took three hour naps! Amazing!  After naps we went and ran around the playground for an hour and then I got ready to head out for my…

The morning started off nice and slow, and ended with three beach miles. We all finally got a good night sleep so it started off great!  We started the morning with some relaxing and watching a movie, the topped off the morning with some cinnamon rolls. Solid Morning!  After the last few days, my stomach is screaming at me. I need to get back in control of my diet. Nutrition has and always k as will be my struggle.  After a relaxing morning we did some cleaning and watched some more movies. After a pretty rough week, it was nice to have a day to decompress.  I snuck out around…

Toddler Life, it’s wild. They are trying to kill me this week. We started our day around 12:45am. I am still not even sure what caused the wake up. Which pretty much sums up mom life right! We had a little slumber party on the couch until it was decided that 4:45 would be the time to start playing cars. I did not make that decision!  It goes without saying, that my morning run was again cancelled. Do you think they know that I just set giant goals for myself and this week was week one for big training? 🤦‍♀️.  Mom life comes first so we played and cuddled the morning…

Wow it’s been a rough few days in our house. I didn’t end up falling asleep until around 2am, so I opted for no morning run. I’m disappointed, but I knew it was the smart decision.  We went to pre-school class, played after for a while and then came home for nap time!  After some naps we made it out for a short walk to get some sunshine! Always the best afternoon pick me up! Nap time for the boys. Coffee for mom! Win! Win!  I then snuck out for a 3 mile run, the weather has been perfect lately. It is always a treat to get out in the…

After a very rough night I decided to turn the alarm off and try and get a few minutes of sleep. Everyone seemed a little off today.  We took a drive around 10am to try and get some naps. It was a failed attempt.  After returning home we tried a walk. That was also a failed attempt, but the fresh air and sunshine did some good for me!  Around 3:00 we decided a beach visit was necessary. It is so nice being so close the the beach. There is just something about the sand in your toes and the sound of the waves that just makes everything better!  We then…

Today was a pretty low key day. On the training plan today was an easy two miles With the transition of cutting off the pacifier for my youngest I didn’t even attempt a morning run. That and the weather was supposed to be perfect, so I knew I wanted to sneak out before dinner and get in a quick few miles in the fresh air and sunshine! We started the day with a pre-school class for my older one, while my younger one and I played! Then we headed out for a short walk, to get some fresh air and sunshine! I was able to sneak in a quick two…
