I thought I’d be a city girl forever. But I’v I thought I’d be a city girl forever.  But I’ve gotta say...  I spent the entire weekend outside. At a farm in Candia, where Annie fed goats and alpacas. On the run in Hopkinton, on my favorite trails. In the backyard in Contoocook, while @boldceo grilled steaks, Ellie laid in the grass, and Annie sat and colored in her little purple Adirondack chair. Walking to the lake, just a mile from home, where Ellie swam and Annie drew in the sand with sticks. And at the races in Derry, where I had the privilege of calling out the names of every single runner who ran the @millenniumrunning Cheap Marathon & Half Marathon. (More than 100 runners ran @bostonmarathon qualifying times today! A fast, inspiring field!)  I grew up as a country kid with her eyes and heart set on the big city.  And now, unexpectedly, I’m raising a happy little country kid of my own.  And I think it suits us.  I still miss New York City and New Jersey — almost every day. The people, places, and things that we called home for so long. (And definitely the pizza, bagels, sushi, and prosciutto.)  New Hampshire has welcomed me back — along with my family — with open arms and so much kindness. Nothing has replaced our life “back home,” but we’ve found new people, places, and things. (Still on the hunt for the perfect slice, though!)  And tonight, on our walk to the lake, I was just thinking... I sure do like this fresh 603 air.
The team at @lululemon has done so much to support The team at @lululemon has done so much to support me and all of my big dreams over the past two years. I have loved being a #lululemonambassador for the @gsplaza store — and I am so so so excited to get to do this for another year!  I was feeling sad knowing my two-year contract was coming to an end, and I was surprised and delighted (and honored) to get the call last week that I’d get another year.  Another year of big dreams — like hosting a sold-out-in-20-minutes @orangetheory class to raise $4000+ for the @bravelikegabe Foundation, or a virtual live show with @des_linden, @shalaneflanagan, @aishapraughtleer, and 500 of YOU. Every idea, every thought, goal, and dream I’ve shared with the lululemon Garden State Plaza team has been met with enthusiasm and unwavering support. It’s always, “How can we help?” “What do you need?” “How can we support you in this?” This role has boosted my confidence and forced me to act on my ideas instead of just writing them on lists, hanging them up, and staring at them.  So. What should we dream up together this year?  I’m thinking... A retreat, when it’s safe to do so. A fun and swag-filled 5K, somewhere. Finally, eventually, having that sweatpant party I had such grand plans for, though after a year+ in sweatpants, maybe it’s a runner prom instead? And definitely another holiday party live show — virtual or in person, however this all shakes out.  An essay, as always, to say THANK YOU to the #lululemon team for continuously believing in me, and for never asking me to be anything but myself.
Happy Easter from the cutest chick I know! Happy Easter from the cutest chick I know!
The guy who gave me my shot tonight said I was the The guy who gave me my shot tonight said I was the “most high-strung person he’s ever stabbed.” (Should I feel proud or insulted?) Apparently I was wearing my shoulders pretty high today, and couldn’t quite relax my arm. (“Relax! Relax,” he urged, trying to get my arm to drop and soften, shaking it. “Do you know how to relax?!”)  But I’ll tell ya, after dose #1, I’m already feeling lighter. I walked out and caught my reflection in the abandoned mall windows, and I swear, my shoulders looked a little lower.  And then I got my favorite @fiveguys fries for dinner. So yeah. Definitely more relaxed. And hopeful. So hopeful!
Opened up Instagram tonight and it felt really...h Opened up Instagram tonight and it felt really...happy.  Post after post, as I double-tapped and scrolled, with declarations of “a weekend well spent” or “this was a good weekend.” And it honestly feels genuine. (I think. I’ve been fooled by social media before! But tonight just felt...light, for a change.)  It feels like maybe, just maybe, there really is a light at this end of this long and winding tunnel. And maybe it’s not all that far away.  I had a good weekend, too. ♥️
