Running Buddies.

Another successful attempt to involve my kids in running. These two accompanied me to their first official trail race today. It was so fun to see them take in a new experience. Aiden is what I call a reluctant runner; he balks when I suggest a run, but then he returns from his run grinning […]

Amazing.

That’s the word I choose today. Amazing. My daughter is an amazing human being. Abby just turned nine. She has constantly surprised me these past nine years.
