COL24 was so incredible!!!! I felt super fast. strong. and it really felt like it lasted the entire race! My mind stayed sharp, heart rate high but manageable. I ran a very consistent ave of 6:16per mile pace. I’d say there’s still room to improve and grow. And I’m excited to keep working with my coach to make that happen. I do love learning and growing in this sport! Always ways to improve!! but for right now I want to celebrate this PR!🌟 1:22:09 So grateful for a healthy body to help make these PRs happen this year. Also, in having a strong mind. That comes from daily reading my bible and taking time each day to keep my priorities in check. Knowing how to set healthy boundaries is really important.❤️ It was such a great race day!!! Next Up… Javelina Jundred😎 October 26th “Be consistently good, instead of occasionally great.”- my fave quote! Jeff Cunningham Go.One.More. - Nick Bare

 The rest of us have been settling into home life without Drew. Some days it seems pretty strange not to have dirty dishes in the sink, or chats with him at night. Overall though, we are managing well. Hard to believe we have another senior in high school already…. and so to process all the change going on…. I have found so much Joy in my early morning runs and trail runs. The weather has been gorgeous and the views so pretty!  Kyle and I enjoy taking these two nuts to the park! Oh and Caleb and Jake too hahaha view from Hoffman hills- awwww the best! Drew posted this on their first hike in the mountains! Nice work you guys!! Great vert! Micah is our senior this year and enjoying the football games! missing the silliness already since school has started… First week of school for them! Micah- senior, Caleb- sophmore, Jake- 7th grade 📚 2024-2025 School year begins😎📚☕️

Summer days on the boat with the guys has been a highlight this summer, I love these moments as a family. One fest  night was fun! Great music and good seats (I didn’t sit down!) lots of dancing! All 6 home for dinner. So rare, and really fun!!! Makes me smile how different each of the boys are right now. Each boy on their own journey, and none alike.  July miles for me! Body seems to be feeling great after Grandmas marathon. Trail runs are getting longer and more vert included! Olympics ‘24 have been so incredible. I really enjoy the outlook on the athletes… What an incredible example and leader they are to our country! Inspiring!

  Friday top5🤩 ✔️pool day ✔️dinner date w Caleb ✔️bonfire night ✔️great track run  ✔️good sleep It’s been a great week! Definitely more chill and low key then life normally is around here, but Drew was gone working quite a bit and Jake was at Bible camp!  The weather has been so beautiful this week! Today will be a high of 85!💦Im hoping to get to the pool for a swim this afternoon. Pretty low key weekend ahead with lots of warm sunshine! Looking forward to it. Can’t wait to hear how camp went for Jake ! Caleb  is pretty sore from contact days at football and lifting a lot. He is working so hard! Crazy he will be a sophomore in high school already.  Micah has gone to valley fair twice this week, so he is living the life! He loves being with his friends. He’s also been lifting weights and working out! Praying for him as he begins his senior year already!
