What does the fox say?

This morning while out on my run I came across a fox! I immediately turned around and ran the other way. I know people say wild life are often more afraid of you then you are of them but I will admit I do not want any trouble with a fox! Also now that I seen that fox I will have the song what does the fox say in my head all day. I love that song it seriously puts a smile on my face. When it first came out my kids and I would have an intense dance party every time we played it.

I'm honestly wondering what type of wildlife I will run into while out on my nigh time run at Ragnar. I have not ever ran in the dark yet and I'm starting to think Ragar will be my first time. I will keep everyone posted.

Friday was my daughters last day at her first daycare. We loved it there very much so I wanted to bake something to send in as a treat. My daughter is obsessed with oatmeal and raisins so I decided on Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars. I adapted this recipe from One Ordinary Days Oatmeal Cookie Bar. They turned out great.  I hope all of her friends at school enjoyed them as much as she did.

50 Miles of Bliss!

I can not possibly put into words the exact feelings I had about crossing the finish line of the NorthFace Endurance Challenge in DC over the weekend. I trained long and hard for this event. I doubted myself over and over again during the weeks leading up to 4/28/18 but knew I had to give it a go.  Driving down to DC the night before the race with my husband and friends I started to feel excited but my nerves were still high. I was thrilled that my husband and Kelly came down to support Miki and I as we attempted another 50 miler.  Lets back track for a moment. In 2016 I trained for a 50 mile event that had a 14 hour cut off. The race was a total wash. It rained the entire week before the race and then the whole duration of the event. The trail conditions were so poor that it made running extremely difficult for me. I spent hours and hours walking a sliding in the mud. My attitude was terrible. I had such high hopes for that event and they were crushed by poor weather. I c

New Year! New You!

Yes I know we hear this year after year! What if this year we did actually stick to our resolutions and we did actually incorporate some healthy changes into our lives? For you what would that change look like? For me I really need to get back on track with my eating. To be exact I need to cut out sugar from my diet, refined sugar. I am telling you when I eat sugar I wake up feeling hungover. If you know me you know I dont drink so feeling hungover is not something that I want to feel. I have set a few goals for myself for the year. I like to share them with others to help hold myself accountable. 1. Run another 50 miler. 2. Become fully Self Employed. 3. Practice Yoga more. 4. Run the Grand Canyon 5. Be more peaceful. For each one of these goals to become my reality I need to create actions steps. For the running goals I have training plans. For the financial goals I have milestones I need to make in my doTERRA business before I am able to leave my day job. For the spiri
