Patrick has had a couple false starts at karate, but this time he’s been sticking with it, so last night he got his white belt! He was SO excited.

Beer for a friend, root beer for me. Sunshine all around. Post-hike brewery - genius.

Neighborhood walk selfie yesterday. Sooo needed these few days of warm sunny weather ☀️

One final look back at 2018. Thanks so much to Two Rivers Treads for allowing me to serve as an ambassador. I’ve taken your shoes on our first family canoe camping trip, lazy floats on the Potomac and the Opequon, training runs and family walks on the C&O Canal and hikes on the AT, in Shenandoah National Park and on the Tuscarora Trail. We’ve backpacked in the Cranberry Wilderness and “taken in the waters” at Berkeley Springs. I’ve become more grounded in where I belong - and that’s exploring what where I live has to offer with my family. Along the way I hope I have inspired others to do the same —because there’s just so much here for everyone. What started in 2013 with a Couch to 5K program has become a foundation that has given me the physical ability and the confidence to take on adventures I thought I’d ever only dream about. Running might never mean podiums or ultramarathons for me, but it has led me on so many amazing paths. I know it will continue to do so in 2019, as we take on the challenge of adding a new baby to our family, and beyond. #tworiverstreads #trtthundersquad #runwalkhealth #explore #familyadventures #runforlife #optoutside

Top moments of 2018. January will bring to an end my year of being one of the ambassadors for @tworiverstreads. I set out for a year of adventure and change. Often I felt like I was failing, but looking back I learned a lot about who I am and what I want this year. A huge achievement was completing the Harpers Ferry Half Marathon in May in flooding conditions. It was awful and tremendously fun. I definitely want to tackle this awesome local race again. #tworiverstreads #trtthundersquad #runwalkhealth #harpersferryhalf

Been toooo long without a nice adventure. Tucker County meets the need in all the best ways - delicious food, warm fires, fun outside. #familyadventures #gotowv #mywv #almostheaven #tuckercounty #blackwaterfalls #canaanvalley #sirianniscafe #hellbenderburritos #minivacay #wvstateparks
