My day started nice and early with a 4:30 AM wake up call, it’s been awhile since I have gotten up so early. It’a so hard to get up the first few days but it is the best way to start the day.

I got in 4ish miles before the day got going (my laces were tied while running). I think I might dust off the head lamp and run outside tomorrow morning. Focusing completely on building a good solid base and consistency now before adding anything else.

Another thing we haven’t done in a while was walk to school. These kiddos really are best friends.

After walking together for awhile they decided it was time to run it in and dropped me.

While Cannon was in school, Emmy and I met friends at a playground and enjoyed the beautiful morning. I love hearing my friends talk about getting their vaccinations, I think we are all ready for Covid to stop dominating our lives and get back to living fully.

Emmy is still hit or miss about naps, today she didn’t want to nap, mainly because she was so excited about playing outside with Cannon.

We were all pretty excited to have matching sandals for this summer.

We also enjoyed dinner outside on our deck again. Today was the last night of really great weather for a little while so we enjoyed it while we could.

The Trail Running Film Festival is launching very cool content this month:

The Forward Motion Festival will combine a livestream style show(April 24th) with a week(April 17-24) of conversations and content from race directors, athletes, filmmakers and more running professionals. The livestream will begin Saturday, April 24th at 5:30pm with a ~15 minute musical performance from the four piece stringband, Chumlilies. If you can’t make the live show, you can watch anytime that following week until Sunday, May 2nd at 11:59pm. 

The Trail Running Film Festival is committed to being active collaborators working towards an equitable future where everyone-—all ethnicities and races, all genders, all sexual orientations, all religions, all countries of origin, all languages, all abilities, and all ages–is celebrated on trails and within our broader culture. When you purchase your ticket to the Forward Motion Festival, you’ll have an opportunity to donate to our DEI Film Grant Fund. The money raised this Spring will be earmarked for our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program and dedicated towards our goals of increasing representation and funding for stories that celebrate a diverse spectrum of cultural experiences within our sport.
