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!

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
