Kindness

The Un-Canceled Project 2, Week 2! KINDNESS ❤️ ❤️ I started out Kindness week with a 5K 🏃🏻‍♀️ Next up was an 8K 🏃🏻‍♀️ And I must say… the humidity was NOT KIND to me! 🥵 My final Kindness bib for the week was the 10K! I didn’t get as many miles in this week…

Witte Museum Dino Dash

Last year we ran the Witte Museum Dino Dash 5K (Survival Edition) and IT WAS AWESOME! 🦖 So even though COVID-19 has 2020 races canceled… we still wanted to participate and thankfully we were able to run it as a Virtual Race! 😃 We could have run the race anywhere but since he enjoyed last…

Dreams

That’s right! Another Un-Canceled Project!!! 🥳 Six more weeks of Virtual running with all new weekly running themes! 📆 Week one of UP2 was Dreams themed and how appropriate was it that it just so happened to be the week of my wedding anniversary? 🥂🍾 I celebrated my 19 year wedding anniversary by earning my…

Commitment

Run This Mother

There’s a kids run, then the Mother Runners run and then there’s…

Courage

Sometimes it takes courage just to leave the house. FOR ANYTHING. We’ve been learning a lot about ourselves during this quarantine. Running is my therapy (in so many ways) and the Un-Canceled Project has been my lifeline! ❤️ Courage was the theme for week 5 and I started it out with a 5K. 🏃🏻‍♀️ My…

Outlaw Half Marathon

Another canceled race of mine was the iRun Texas Outlaw Half Marathon in Luckenbach, Texas. I was really looking forward to a nice early spring drive through the hill country for this race but I’m thankful that iRun shipped race packets to runners as a virtual race option. 😃 I set out, all geared up…

Napa Valley Women’s Half Marathon

So one of my first races to be canceled due to the COVID-19 lockdown was the Napa Valley Women’s Half Marathon. 😭 This would have been my 8th Half Marathon state (California.) It was also planned to be a super fun “Girl Trip” with my friend Sonia. And our 3rd state run together! ✈️🧳🍷 One…
