I just got my first stroller a few weeks ago, free at a garage sale. Ok, so I have had a jogging stroller but that is just for running. For everything else, I've just held my babies. I can hold a baby indefinitely - Justin lasts about 5 minutes. :) With Taylor, I sewed a cute sling. A simple piece of fabric sewn in a loop, it was awesome. Now she is so active I don't use it much but my friend Carolee is giving away a real life professionally made sling on her blog and I want it! I want to try it with Taylor for hiking instead of the backpack and I want it for my next baby.

color me rad denver
September 28 was our 3rd race of the year in Denver. I flew in with Ellie a couple days before. We were giggling and laughing the whole plane ride over. She is at such a fun age, I can make her laugh so hard too. Again, we helped at packet pick up and at the race the next day. Ellie and I ran the race with a deaf woman who had lost her group and had no way to find them. She was so sad and I asked her if we could run with her. It was a fun experience.
This is Lindsey Leiker and her two cute kids. She loves mud runs, her husband is a Navy Seal, and she is an amazing mom. And endlessly positive. I just think the world of her. She's been crucial to the success of our races in Colorado.
Saturday night we headed to downtown Denver to Larimer Street and walked around. It was magical. Window shopping, ice cream and checkers, dinner out on the patio. I think I loved it mostly because it reminded me of my childhood as an only child hanging out with my mom and dad and getting all the attention.

st george
I took the kids down to St. George for the weekend. We were having a blast at the dinosaur museum, red rocks, and the playground until....
A quick bike ride turned into an epic day of hiking back to my car by myself, crying on the phone to justin, and ultimately getting help packing up the car and driving home. A couple days later I finally got it x-rayed to confirm what I knew, a broken wrist. It's been 5 weeks now and the cast is off but it's far from better. I've been doing dangerous sports my whole life so I guess I was due, just glad it wasn't worse.

dirty dash - albuquerque


I think this race will be especially memorable because of venue and the charity we worked with. The race was held at Wildlife West Nature Park. It's We Bought a Zoo in real life. The owner is this old guy that tells the funniest stories and lives on the property, saving endangered species. He's so great. The charity we worked with is NMX - a place that gives underprivileged kids a place to go to learn graphic design, event production, lighting, film editing, etc. They gave us a tour of their warehouse and it was incredible. It was inspiring and humbling to see how passionate the some people are about giving back and improving their communities. They were so grateful to partner with us and it really gave them a boost. That's what I love most about Justin's job, it's very synergistic and win/win for everyone involved.

mccall

McCall this year was a blast. I was so happy Justin could be there, he's been gone most of the summer getting ready for our races. We drove up on a Monday and spent the night about 30 miles from McCall. The next morning Lew, Justin and I rode our bikes to McCall while the others drove. We spent the next few days on paddle boards, boating, biking, running, relaxing on the beach, and swimming.
