Rest easy, sweet girl. 💕🌈✨

There were so many times over the last few days that I’d find Zoey intently staring at me. It was like she was trying to deeply imprint us into her and her into us. She was looking into my soul and showing me hers.

Zoey passed peacefully at home this afternoon. We were face-to-face and I told her over and over again, “I love you. You’re such a good girl. Mommy is right here.”

My heart is in pieces but what a gift to be there for her as she transitioned after she gave us 11 years of unconditional love (and mischievous adventure).

She was one of a kind and we will miss her so much. I know she and Sullie are reunited and will bless us from heaven.

Thank you for all of the love and support this week. Grateful for this community. 💜

Two things you need this holiday season: an oversized cozy fleece and this gingerbread banana bread. Wish I had the link to the jacket but it was my 95 year old grandmother’s and I brought it home from Thanksgiving with her blessing. 🥰 But I can send you the link for the recipe! Comment gingerbread and I’ll dm ya!

Whether it takes you 3, 4, 5 or 6 hours — you are a marathoner! Don’t let anyone take that feeling of personal accomplishment when you cross the finish line away from you or diminish its importance. 🩷

I gave up on the marathon in my 20s. I couldn’t break that elusive 4 hour mark and there was a lot of noise out there telling me that I wasn’t a “real running blogger” or serious runner if I couldn’t go sub-4 or BQ. The marathon was also hard on my body. I was in a chronic injury cycle and just didn’t understand how to properly train or fuel.

Fast forward 14 years and I ran a 3:51 in my comeback marathon in 2024 and a 4:11 in the next one a year later. Both finishes were oh so sweet and full of emotion. Wouldn’t change a thing about either race.

My 40s (and many trail running miles) have taught me who the f* cares about finish times when nothing lights me up, shifts my energy and grounds me like running does. I love the mental and physical challenge of the marathon. I am crystal clear that I do this for ME!

Cannot wait for the next one. 🤗
