HLS and Fake Running

June 11, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Happy Weekend! I hope you have plans to do something fun (and active!) this weekend. Today, Bobby and I are meeting with our TNT group and coach for a kick off party. If you have not checked out our fundraising page, you can see it HERE. Every little bit helps, even just $5.00. Please consider donating to this great cause!

A couple of fun things I wanted to mention that I am super excited about (as if ENOUGH exciting things aren’t going on!) is that I am going to the HEALTHY LIVING SUMMIT! That’s right, after watching all the fun everyone had last year and pouting and wallowing in self pity, I got a ticket for this year’s event in Philly. Yay!

Are you going to HLS? I hope so! I can’t wait to meet everyone! This means YOU!

Next thing, apparently while we were on vacation, a picture of Bobby and I popped up on the front page of Real Estate Weekly…Running! Sad to say, it’s not real. Well, ok now I am confusing myself. In the picture we are REALLY running, but it’s staged….for a photoshoot…for our neighborhood. But still pretty cool!

 

sorry the quality isn’t great, but it’s on newsprint.

Holy heel-striker!!! Granted, we were running downhill and I tend to do that….so hhmmm…just ignore please. But, still pretty cool, right? We are supposed to be on the new neighborhood website, too, which I THOUGHT was going live in May, but it’s not up yet. Will share with you when it does.

I know I said I would alternate between sharing things about the Disney trip and California trip, but let’s face it, not as many people read on a Saturday, so I thought I would save the good stuff Not that this isn’t good stuff, but…ok now I’m rambling. (I had sweet tea at dinner, can you tell?!?)

I am just so excited about HLS, and Running Skirts, and Disney, I just can’t stop thinking about it all and smiling about how blessed I feel right now!

QOTD: Are you going to HLS?

    How fun! You guys look awesome even though you’re fake running?

    What’s this HLS you speak of? Maybe I’ll try to go 😉

    You guys look great! I wouldn’t have even noticed the heel striking if you didn’t point it out.

    That’s cute that you and your man run together. I am just about to head out on my first long run with my man- hopefully it will be picture perfect too!

    Thought about going to HLS and applied to speak, but I didn’t get accepted. They offered me early registration as consolation, but I didn’t jump on it and missed out because I was at Disney on registration day. It’s very cool that it sold out so fast, though. I’ll just live vicariously through you ;).

      ah bummer! Same thing happened to me 🙂
      If you really want to go, check out the FB page, there are usually people selling tickets!

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
