(shoes, socks, shorts, tank, bra) Workout day! It felt so good to be back together! I always reset my watch with a new training block because it is so fun to see new records again. A stop for calories and hydration occurred. Twelve miles @ 7:27 average. 2-mile w/u, 3-mile tempo (6:06 pace), 1 mile easy, 1 MTC mile (the downhill mile we do often in 5:15), c/d. I felt really good for the first time post-marathon. I have a few experiments I’m running on myself for the rest of the year… I love trying to find out exactly what...

It’s their party, and they’ll cry if they want to – but sometimes the person in tears, whether from anguish or joy, isn’t the child whose birthday it is. These days, the anticipation and preparation for the big day make the stakes even higher for kids and parents alike. More families are choosing to go all out when planning kids’ birthday festivities, hiring professional event planners and spending tens of thousands of dollars to give their child a Kardashian-level experience.

Friday is heeere! How are you? How was your week? Earlier this week one of my girlfriends referred to this month as “Maycember” when referencing the number of kid-related end-of-the-school-year commitments and activities and it certainly felt like an accurate reference to the busyness that comes during the holiday season and, apparently, MAY. Phew! Our calendar is certainly full right now but it’s temporary and, for the most part, filled with fun stuff the kids love. All that being said, you better believe I’ll be majorly exhaling June first when all of the boys are done with school for the...
