3rd wedding anniversary and 3rd trimester synching

3rd wedding anniversary and 3rd trimester synching up nicely. 💕 #bumpin

The Bears are out of hibernation 🐻

Very proud of our girls for running with heart in tough conditions and for the way they supported each other all morning long. (Also curious how many more times I’ll be mistaken for an athlete this season. Just 14 years removed! 😅)

I’ve trained with, raced against, and cheered for too many incredible mother runners to believe that my best days as an athlete have to be behind me. Priorities will certainly shift come December, and I’m sure it’ll take time to establish a new rhythm, but I’m not convinced that means fulfilling one big dream (motherhood) at the exclusion of others.

No shortage of Act II motivation for me… looking at you, @aliphine @sallykipyego @smevaughn @stephrothstein @kellyn_taylor @sarahall3 @keiradamato @fastcarrie @bad_boys104 @karagoucher @shannonrowbury @alysiamontano @neelysgracey @kristaduchene and on and on! (Are you watching the Olympics?!?) 💞

If you took this pic, let me know so I can credit!

Feels like a good time to let all the life updates loose… 20 weeks down, 20 weeks to go! 🤰🏻 The idea that I’m housing another human is both terrifying and thrilling, but more than anything we are extremely grateful. Also, it’s a boy 💙

Full circle moment! I’m super excited to be returning to @ursulinedallas, where I fell in love with running, as head cross country coach. We have a big team (~80 girls!) and a strong tradition (15 state titles), and 2 weeks in, I’m already so into this new role. If I can create anything like the culture and friendships that @moshinnick fostered back in our day, we will do some special things and I will be one happy coach. Go Bears! 🏃🏻‍♀️🐻

Altitude is hard, but have you ever trained through a Texas summer? Hot, humid, and very humbling 🤠

Time to head home! 🤠

Our 5 years in Boulder have been magical in so many ways. It’s where we got married, bought our first house, made lifelong friends, and logged serious miles in pursuit of big dreams.

But, as has always been the plan, we’re heading back to the homeland (Dallas, TX), where my family and heart have always been. We'll miss our Colorado life a ton, but have no shortage of excuses to get back up here (in the summer, obviously 😄).

We’re so grateful to everyone who has made this chapter such a special one. We’ll miss y’all big time, and will always have an open door in Dallas.

(If you’re wondering, yes! Running will continue to be a centerpiece of my life. Just no altitude, way fewer trails, much more humidity, and a very different definition of "hilly." A new gig too 😉)

See ya soon, Big D!
