I am a Lab Mommy Again!

Hi Everyone!

If you've seen my IG posts over the last few days, you would notice that I have a new four legged family member!

It has been 6 months

Sleigh Run

Last weekend, after the Running of the Elves 5K race, we participated in the Santa Sleigh Run.

This was the first year for the Santa Sleigh Run in our community. The objective was to get a team of 3 to 5 people, dress in costumes, and build a sleigh out of something (but it could not have a motor on it). The sleigh had to be able to hold one of the participants, who was dressed as Santa, or any other holiday character.

At first,

Running of the Elves 5k (with some reindeer)

Last weekend my Mom and I ran the Running of the Elves 5k. It was a local Christmas race close to our hometown.  We ran this a few years ago and enjoyed it so decided to run it again. We lucked out and had a very nice day for it. 

Shortly after starting the race,

Holiday Chat

Let's Chat about the holidays....

Have the holiday events started for you already? Has your town done their tree lighting?  Are you participating in a Secret Santa at work or church?  Do you have holiday parties planned?  I feel so grateful to have so many things to participate in during this time of year.  My calendar is filling up way too fast, but I am thankful. 

Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K

Every year we have this local 5k Turkey Trot. I usually don't run this because I always say the way I eat I need to run more than a 5k. Plus this race is usually just a fun run and it's just for bragging rights if you beat the turkey. 

Fall Favorites

This fall has actually been going well for me.  I've been lucky enough to have the retrievers to keep me busy and we had fun picking out pumpkins, going to fall festivals, and just  hanging out!  The first half  of the season I was training for the Hershey Half Marathon and since then till now I've been  enjoying other things. 

Disney's Sea Side Sprint at the Boardwalk

The last week in October, my mom and I were in Disney for the Food and Wine Festival. While we were there, we decided to run another Disney fun run. This time it was the SeaSide Sprint at the Boardwalk. We originally were not planning on running this race, but we brought costumes for Mickey's not so scary Halloween party, so we thought we might as well  dress up and run a race! 

We had to Uber there in the morning.  Not sure how long that would take so we arrived in plenty of time.
