Had the best weekend with some of my favorite people in my favorite place.

Match made in heaven was the perfect theme 🤍🩵

6 years ago we came to this exact house for my wedding shower with Alex. 

Almost 3 years ago I was certain I would never get the chance to do that ever again. 

But all the people who came 6 years ago showed up for me again in the most beautiful way. 

All these moments are so incredibly bittersweet but I will never take them for granted. 🤍🤍

4 months and 506 miles of training.
Early mornings to get it done before work. 
Saying no to plans to be able to get a long run done in the morning. 
Finding a babysitter for my kids every single weekend so I could train. 
1 broken pinky toe, a couple blisters, a whole lot of chaffing, and, of course, tears and sweat were all a part of this journey. 

And to think, all of this happened because of a few conversations I had with Alex 1.5 years ago. When I hit a wall and felt like I couldn’t keep going, I kept telling myself that if I could make it through the past 16 months, I could make it through 26.2 miles. 

Running alongside thousands of other people through the streets of Chicago was unlike anything I’ve ever done. The crowd was incredible. I swore I would never do it again, but we’ll see about that 😉

I couldn’t have done it without my sisters and Connor doing it all with me. It truly was such a gift to be able to do it together. Connor stayed by my side the entire run (even though he would’ve done sooo much better without me). I told him not to, but I’m so grateful he did because I needed all the help I could get. 

If not with you, then for you. Thanks for the motivation and all the signs, Alex Paulsen. We did it 🤍

Halle and I had a slow morning. We cooked some yummy healthier pumpkin bread in our jammies while I drank hot chocolate and she had some milk and pancakes. It was pretty darn perfect and gave me all the fall vibes! 🍁😍⁣
