All the running.

This post is a recap of all the running over the last few weeks. Starting with the most recent. TODAY! I completed the TC10 mile at my exact goal pace of 1:10. Twin Cities Marathon weekend is wonderful. The crowds, the course, the whole thing. I've never run a 10 mile race before and I found myself really enjoying the distance. It was short enough to be able to really push it, and also still feel like you actually did something :) I had a little fomo not doing the marathon, but this was a great way to spend a morning!

I somehow didn't get a picture of my sis! Best cheer-er! I love seeing her and Mike out on the course!!!!!
Also, so wild I ran into Emily from my 50 mile run! Literally lined up RIGHT next to her in the corral. What are the chances out of 9,119 racers?

NEXT: BHP color run was fun! Lucy, Raine and Skye participated and were FULL of color.


Another highlight included a trip to Cable Wisconsin. The Badland Babes took the podium at the Birkie Marathon Relay. It was quite possibly the perfect day for a relay race. I didn’t want to leave Mandy’s cabin. This crew is full of total rock stars. Every single person absolutely crushed it. 




Speaking of speedy…. Olle and I ran 4 miles last Sunday. We took zero breaks and came in at 36 mins. He has the best running form and his endurance is incredible. Lucy and Sigge joined us for the first mile. If I end up with even 1 kid that likes to run with me my life will be complete-- BUT all 3?!!



There is nothing I love more than laying in the grass after a run and staring up at a blue sky. The days are getting so short, I usually finish in the dark, but on this particular day I was able to really soak in that morning goodness. 

10/10 recommend laying in the grass if possible.

LAST. Let's talk about my girl. Lucy is rocking cross country and I am so proud of her. She is giving it her all and crossed the finish line with a 4 minute PR on Thursday. Her cheering section was absolutely incredible-- giving her all the love and confidence. 



These little cheerleaders carried her to the finish!

I have absolutely nothing on the calendar as far as races go. This will probably not last long as I have an itch to run another marathon in 2026... or at least do something big for my 40th!

xo. edc.

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
