My Excuse

I realize that I haven't updated this entire week and my posts before that have been spotty.Life here has been crazy. My husband accepted a job in Oklahoma City a few weeks ago and we are moving in two weeks. Because of this, I've been frantically trying to get our house ready to sell and my family ready to head out. Luckily, my husband's job is keeping us in state so I can still be an Oklahoma Running Mom. I'm excited to get to know the running community in OKC and plan to continue running races here in Tulsa. I'm also excited to tell you about the Wish Lemons 5K and introduce you to some of the people I met there. I'm also excited about Strollin' Moms which is starting again on Tuesday, April 5 at the Fleet Feet Kingspointe Store. I hope to see you there! Em

Strollin' Moms

Join me at Fleet Feet (61st and Yale) on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30am for Strollin' Moms!

Doesn't this look like a fun group? There's a place for everyone...runners, run/walkers and walkers. At one point, I've been with all the groups. Now I'm mostly sticking with the walkers because baby running mom is getting big. I'd love to see you there!

Happy Days are Here Again!

I can't tell you how much I love the weather today. Like most, I've been getting tired of the endless summer heatwave. Today I went out for a walk/run with a bunch of my friends (wish I would have snapped a photo). There were kids in strollers, kids riding bikes, moms running and walking...it was wonderful! I kept thinking about how we spent so much time at the splash parks and pool this summer because that was the only thing we could do without getting a heat stroke. While those things were fun, I'm glad we are now able to hang out and get some exercise at the same time. If you've been putting off exercise because of the weather, jump back in with a friend or two so it's something to look forward to rather than a chore. Let me know if you're interested in joining our little group and I'll give ya the information. Also, check out the race calendar on OklahomaSportandFitness.com. There are an endless amount of Fall races to choose from. Make a choice and set a goal. Happy Running!
