Full Steam Ahead

After finishing the 10 miler on Saturday I can say for certain that I'm slightly obsessed with running. The feeling I got when I crossed that finish line was amazing! This was my 4th race of the year (if you count the 3 mud runs that I've already completed) and I've already signed up for so many more. This is what I have planned until the end of February:


Kyle will only be able to do a few of these with me but some is better than none that's for sure. I've registered for 5 of these (still waiting for the others to open) and am excited to keep pushing forward.

On top of all this running I officially start school on September 2nd. I'm anxious and excited for this new chapter in my life. I am fortunate and blessed to be able to do this and so thankful for all the wonderful people who have supported me. It will certainly keep me busy with Kyle's crazy training/deployment schedule.

Hope you all have an amazing day!

    At least it's a crazy healthy addiction, right? :)
