My second half marathon experience was so incredible. The excitement around this race was massive. There were 15,000 runners that got accepted into the lottery for the Nike Women's Half and I'm so happy that I was one of them! They put the names of every runner on the wall at Georgetown Nike, where we went for the expo and to pick up our race ... View the Post
DC Cherry Blossoms

This is the kitchen before we got ... View the Post

Coop kept chanting 3...2...1...BLASTOFF in the spaceship hanger! It was Callan's first "field trip" We are trying to take advantage of ... View the Post
