A Mile A Day: Day 16
A family walk complete with carried tricycle. I carried. And Day 1 of Whole30. A success.

A Mile A Day: Day 15
I’m doing it, ya’ll! I am halfway to my goal today and already plotting ways to keep up some sort of daily routine. It’s life giving. Breathing fresh air. Soaking up the sun. Feeling the stretch of muscles and ligaments. Today’s walk was sloooooow. I doubled back for a short bit after I realized a…

A Mile A Day: Day 14
I’m playing catch up after this amazing weekend! Tonight’s mile was a run/walk to get back in time to tuck my sweet babe into bed. It was preceded by a mother’s day brunch surrounded by my husband, father, brother-in-law, and three of the most important mothers in my life: my mother, mother-in-law, and sister. My…

A Mile A Day: Day 12

The frost was still on the grass this morning so that’s something. There was slightly more traffic. There were certainly more stubborn stops by my territory-marking…

A Mile A Day: Day 7
It’s incredible how different the same places can look under different positions of the sun. Last night, mile 7 was completed at dusk. Winston and I donned our reflective gear and glowed as the sun set on us. The colors were deeper, richer. The path was clear. And today we’re preparing for mile 8 in…

A Mile A Day: Day 6
The weekend should be the easiest time to get in some exercise but what I’m learning about myself is that I do better with setting my priorities during the week. I know that healthy eating can be more difficult during the weekend (hanging out by the fridge isn’t good for anyone), but I’m a little…
