When I ask my 7-year-old to make my morning mix...it comes out a bit chewy and has the smell of a muddy Spartan race...🤷🏼‍♀️ . Oh well! Hope it doesn't get in my teeth! 😅 . #godisgood #mom #teacher #spartan

Super excited to get to spend another season as an ambassador on the Altra Red Team. I'm part of a team of amazing athletes and human beings, and we get to spread the word about the very best running, racing, hiking, HIIT, and casual shoes on the planet. ❤ . It's my pleasure to be back for another year! . #godisgood #mom #teacher #spartan #altraredteam #2020

I've been rebuilding myself for over a year, and somehow the crush this time was more painful than before, because it was unexpected. . I've had amazing people reach out to me, and visit me, and refuse to let me back down and hide. Thank you. I'll continue trying my best to move forward. . I also have had to let go of what meant a lot to me, because I was damaging my self worth. Sometimes, it is necessary to let go of people and hopes, simply because they are heavy. . I pray each day I'll end up where I need to be, doing what I'm meant to be doing, with who I am meant to be with. . #godisgood #mom #Spartan #friends #fitleaders

On a cold Friday evening after an emotionally tough week (made better by wonderful, supportive family and friends) snuggling my woobie makes me happy...❤ . With my furboo refusing to sit next to me and my little ones away, this is the best snuggle buddy! . Long training session tomorrow, Louisville Cardinals basketball, and some UFC. . Looking forward to some good times with friends. You guys and gals are good to me . #godisgood #mom #teacher #spartan #altraredteam #fitleader #fitleaders

When you cannot outrun the way your heart feels when it hurts...you reach out to friends. . I took a year off, more or less, from training and racing. I am better mentally than I have been. . Recently, I was reached out to by a friend of many years to just be a support system during a hard breakup. . I will never allow someone else to use my presence to fill the absence of someone who could never fill the space I left. I realized I was lied to and used. . So I smile, even though it's not even what I feel like doing. Yes, my mascara isn't waterproof, but the mess shows I'm trying to smile through the rain. . Proverbs 16:9 is a reminder that God directs my steps, no matter what I plan. . My family and friends, thank you. While we all have struggles each and every day, I cannot be thankful enough for how so many of you have reached out on my posts, sent messages and texts, and taken the time to see me or are coming to see me soon. . P.S. To the one who wanted me next to him because he was lonely, and them let me figure that out on my own: What 👏 you 👏 did 👏 was 👏 not 👏 okay!!! . (That was from a grown man. Several of you know the background of this.) . #godisgood #mom #teacher #spartan #momma #faith #RISEABOVE

Sometimes, we are asked to carry the load for someone else. God calls for us to do that. . Just be careful to not be a Bandaid, because they eventually come off, and are discarded. The only way that can be avoided is to get to the heart of what is wrong, and that's difficult and often scary, as the heart is puzzling. . I always choose to smile while carrying the load. My heart is good, and I want the best for everyone. . #godisgood
