Visual Representation of October

Is it seriously December already? That makes my October timeline outlandishly late, but here it is anyways:

The Steadman folks brought me back from a torn hip labrum in college and Iā€™m trusting them to do the same for this bum Achilles. Heā€™ll never see this, but I owe whatever is left of my running career to Dr. Clanton. You too, @anastasiaboo6 and Dr. Haytmanek! Time to get back to my homeboys and UA gals, and heal all the way up! ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ #achillessurgery #recovery #comebackseason

Motherā€™s Day highlight: watching @ricewtfxc win Motherā€™s Day highlight: watching @ricewtfxc win the @conferenceusa championship (and @ricemtfxc take 3rd)! Itā€™s one thing to talk to Wade about strength, confidence, and heart, and another to show him real-life examples. No better classroom than a track meet, in my opinion! šŸ¦‰šŸ’™ #GoOwlsšŸ‘ #mothersday #futureowl
I wish I had a fun running update to share, but th I wish I had a fun running update to share, but the truth is that Iā€™m 3 years into this Achilles issue and still trying to claw my way out. I was hopeful that surgery last October would finally set me straight, but unfortunately it was not that simple. Iā€™m running some, but persistent pain makes meaningful volume or quality a challenge, not to mention is an absolute buzzkill. Whatā€™s crazy is that this bodyā€”that withstood 7 years of marathoning without serious injury, that stacked triple-digit weeks like it was nothing, and that birthed a baby and bounced right backā€”hasnā€™t been able to do something as simple as heal a small area of my foot. For once, hard work, patience, diligence, and every other quality distance running is supposed to instill have come up short. The hardest part of all of this has not been watching from the sidelines as my friends and competitors chase the same dreams I have. Thatā€™s definitely tough, but parenting, coaching, writing, and rehabbing keep me busy enough that I can tune it out when I want to. The hardest part is knowing what it feels like when everythingā€™s clicking and running feels like the most natural thing in the world. Itā€™s watching my boys roll out of our driveway while I head out for another cross training session. Itā€™s wanting so badly to show Wade what it looks like to be in my element, pursuing something with my whole heart the way I hope he someday will. I donā€™t know what my future as a runner looks like, or whether Iā€™ll get another swing at racing at a high level. But as stubborn as this Achilles is, it hasnā€™t beat me yet šŸ˜¤ *If youā€™re also struggling with chronic injury, I know how isolating and emotionally turbulent it can be. I donā€™t have answers for you but I do feel you!
Wade is one lucky dude to grow up with this crew šŸ¤(still working on @mattkwade and Annie) A hectic and happy Easter for sure! #easter #cousinlove #familypic

Struttin into yearāœŒšŸ¼ Part of me is like Yay Struttin into yearāœŒšŸ¼ Part of me is like Yay! We did it. Another part is nostalgic for the first year already. But mostly Iā€™m excited to see Wadeā€™s personality continue to shine through. Currently heā€™s obsessed with cups (canā€™t stop wonā€™t stop stacking), food (boy can HOUSE it), giggling (especially at Will), waving (at humans, dogs, inflatable Santas, etc.), ā€œreadingā€ books in my lap, DJing from the stroller (just 3 songs but all bangers), and letting Tina lick his hands between bites (I know.). Heā€™s messy, heā€™s wild, and heā€™s stubborn, but heā€™s our everything. Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Wade! šŸ¤ Photo by @sarahshannonphoto #birthdayboy #1stbirthday #1yearold #slowdowntime
