Pretty Muddy Women’s Mud Run Chicago Recap
Man, oh man, am I excited to share this post with you guys! (Warning: This post is chalk full of pictures & video!) This weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the Pretty Muddy Women’s Mud Run 5k & Obstacle Course thanks to FitFluential and the team at Pretty Muddy. I have always wanted to do a mud run, but to be completely honest I was always intimidated by the obstacles. When I saw this run was all female and focused more on empowering women and having fun I was all about it! We drove from St Louis to Chicago on Friday night and were up early and ready…

Weekly Check In – September Goals
This morning I am enjoying a cup of french press coffee from our new french press we got from IKEA yesterday! It is really good. I actually drank it black! Crazy, right? We took the morning off church to recover from our trip to Chicago for the Pretty Muddy Mud Run. It was SO fun. I can’t wait to share all the pictures/video with you guys after I get them all edited and what not. Since writing my September goals I have been trying to keep them on the forefront of my mind. I hate setting goals and not reaching them, so I am going to start checking in with you…

Coffee Date!
Good morning, dreamers! This morning it is overcast and cool here in St Louis! I feel fall coming on!! I was excited because it was the perfect excuse to wear my new North Face Fleece that I ordered from Zappos this week. I also made a cup of Pumpkin Spice Coffee with So Delicious Coconut Creamer. Bring on the hayrides and bonfires! I know it’s been awhile since we had coffee. I didn’t get a chance to do a vlog- so we will do it “old school” style. If we were having coffee today I would tell you I got my hair cut this week! It is short again! I…

Random! (Clutter, Zensah, and Disc Golf)
Voting is still open for the Promax DOer contest. Please take a quick second and vote for me HERE. Read Why this means so much to me and remember you can vote once per day per IP address until 9/21 Howdy Partners! Man, this week has been tough for me. Coming back from a week long business trip, starting another term of school, not feeling 100%… It all adds up pretty quick. Sometimes I start to feel overwhelmed. Normal weeks I go on a 2 mile run with the kiddo after my early CrossFit workouts, but this week that only happened once. I just needed to take some time to regroup I guess.…

I was exhausted from the week and ended up falling asleep pretty early (before 10?) I was up early on Saturday because I was super excited to get back to…

Wanna get #PrettyMuddy with Me?
So, here is what the weekend looks like around here: Uhm, I thought I moved out of Florida? We have had like no rain at all this summer so I’ll take it. Our yard is in desperate need of it. All this rain makes me nostalgic. When I was 17 a young kid we used to play in the rain all the time. Splash through the puddles and mud. Bring out pool toys to float down the street. Such is life when you live in Florida. While going out and playing in the mud is considered weird as a “normal” twenty something on most days, I finally have an excuse…

The Color Run STL 2012
This weekend was epic! We signed up for The Color Run a few months back and I was so excited that it was finally time to get to it. We stayed at St Louis Union Station Marriott on Friday Night. We knew we’d want to shower after the run, plus we didn’t have to worry about parking or getting up super early to drive downtown. The view out our hotel room window was pretty sweet, looking out over the pool & pond We visited Pi Pizzeria at their new Downtown Location. I’d heard tons about Pi so I was excited to try it out. After consulting twitter I determined “carbing…
