Someone’s been kinda naughty this year 😈 bu Someone’s been kinda naughty this year 😈 but his son’s on the nice list for sure 😇
Struttin into year✌🏼 Part of me is like Yay Struttin into year✌🏼 Part of me is like Yay! We did it. Another part is nostalgic for the first year already. But mostly I’m excited to see Wade’s personality continue to shine through. Currently he’s obsessed with cups (can’t stop won’t stop stacking), food (boy can HOUSE it), giggling (especially at Will), waving (at humans, dogs, inflatable Santas, etc.), “reading” books in my lap, DJing from the stroller (just 3 songs but all bangers), and letting Tina lick his hands between bites (I know.). He’s messy, he’s wild, and he’s stubborn, but he’s our everything. Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Wade! 🤍 Photo by @sarahshannonphoto #birthdayboy #1stbirthday #1yearold #slowdowntime

❤️‍🩹 On the mend, with a caregiver who’ ❤️‍🩹 On the mend, with a caregiver who’s much cuter than he is capable 🙃 It has been a LONG road to this morning’s surgery. My last pain-free run was the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials, nearly 2 years and 8 months ago. Some insertional Achilles pain popped up the next week and just never went away. Since then, I’ve continued training as much as my body would allow while searching high and low for the root of the pain: 4 MRIs, 18 healthcare professionals in 5 cities (that I can remember, many of whom I trust with my life!), and an obscene amount of rehab, rest, cross-training, and treatment. Only recently did a higher resolution MRI reveal a partially torn Achilles and a small but potent bone spur, neither of which were likely to heal on their own no matter what else I did or didn’t do. Surgery is always my last resort, but usually I don’t wait THIS long to book it. Major mixed emotions right now: grateful for a solution at last, sad to miss out on the next couple months of daily runs with my boys, thankful for the ultimate support team, and optimistic that my best running days are still ahead. 🙏🏼💓 #postop #achilles #achillesrecovery #achillesrehab #injuredrunner #surgery #onthemend #castlife

10 years ago this week I was embarking on a year-l 10 years ago this week I was embarking on a year-long solo trip around the world (made possible by the Watson Fellowship), hoping to connect with and learn from runners and coaches in 5 countries. Little did I know, those 5 countries would balloon into 22; the hostels and apartments I’d planned on would be replaced by homestays; the journey would spawn careers in writing, running, and coaching; and many of the people I ran and crashed with along the way would be among my most cherished friends a decade later. 🧳🏃🏻‍♀️🌍 #watsonfellowship #runtheworld #globetrotter
