Hi, guys! Happy Monday to you!

How was your weekend? Mine was nice. Mal and I went to an engagement party on Saturday night and then we spent yesterday getting our lives in order for the upcoming week, especially since he hadn’t been to school for two weeks. OMGSOMUCHSNOW!

Ok, so I have a bunch of random things to tell you, and I tried to come up with a ”˜theme’ for this post, but nothing seemed to work, sooooo I’ll just get to it””starting with the most exciting piece of information!

I’m a Brooks Run Happy Ambassador! Woohoo! I am so pumped about this new partnership, and I can’t wait to share all of my ”˜run happy‘ adventures with you!

Speaking of running, I already planned out my workouts for the week since last week’s training was an epic fail. Traveling + stomach bug = very little exercise.

  • Sunday: 3 miles
  • Monday: Off
  • Tuesday: 20/8 Yassos/20
  • Wednesday: KFIT
  • Thursday: Tempo 30/30/15
  • Friday: KFIT
  • Saturday: 2:30 long run

And since we’re on the topic of exercise, I signed up for the CrossFit Open!

I know. I’m surprised too. Haha! Honestly, I wasn’t planning to register, but my box started this team intramural thing that involved recruiting members and before I knew it, I was on a team and signing up for the Open. I’m not really sure how it’s going to go since I’ve lost so much strength, but, hey, it’ll be fun. I mean, my team ordered t-shirts and headbands (JUNK, obviously), so I’m in it for the good times to be had!

And since I know I’ll get questions, my relationship with Brooks is purely running-related. My relationship with Reebok is (mostly) CrossFit, and both brands are totally cool with these relationships coexisting.

More fun things to tell you”¦

Mal, Quinn, Murphy, and I just booked a lake house with Dave and Marie and their daughter Carly for a week in August this summer. Yesssssss! It’s still 5.5 months away, but we are so incredibly pumped! Friends + summer = the best!

Quinn had his first babysitter on Saturday night and he did great! When Mal and I were at the engagement party on Saturday night, Kerrie‘s mom watched our little peanut. She’s such a great woman and we totally trust her. They both had a really nice time together, and I’m so glad it worked out since we don’t really have a go-to babysitter down here. My mom and sister are always willing to take care of Quinn, but they’re both about an hour away, so it’s not super convenient when it’s late at night (and snowing).

Speaking of our little peanut, Quinn is standing””a lot! He isn’t crawling yet, but, boy, does he like to stand and “walk” with our help. He actually kind of cries when you try to make him sit or crawl. He’d MUCH rather stand. He’s holding onto the couch, coffee table, and random toys that my sister gave me. Maybe Quinn will skip crawling all together? Don’t some babies do that? Here he is showing Muprhy his wooden mallet. Too cute.
