SO much has been happening this past year and it’s barely March! This week especially has been a busy one for me as we get ready for our trip to Ohio. When we come back, a lot of things are happening starting with prepping for our Europe trip and this
and then when we come back from that, I have to really start preparing for this

and then when I come back from that, I’ll have about 5 weeks before I start training for THIS
Marine Corps Marathon here I come!!!
I MADE IT!!! I know for a lot of people, their dream marathon is Boston and I’d love to do that someday too. But, I know that qualifying for that is a super long shot. For me, my dream marathon is this one, the Marine Corps Marathon. The People’s Race.
My dad was a Marine and even though he and I are not very close, this part of his life is what makes me proud of him.
I entered the lottery thinking I’d have to do it a few years before I’d get in. I didn’t think it would happen the first time! My husband knew. He knew the instant I told him I’d entered. He said, “You’ve signed up for so much this year and because of that, you’re going to get this too.” Jajaja! I seriously have been doing a lot lately. Needless to say, having made it into MCM means my race calendar is done for the year lol!
I have so much to look forward to, I just can’t even believe this year so far 🙂

YAY!! So exciting that you got into MCM, I have heard nothing but incredible things about it and yes, you NEED that shirt for the race!! 🙂
Thanks Sara and yes, I do think that shirt is a must! 🙂
I’m so excited you’re doing MCM! Can I come down and cheer you on!?
Ummmm…..YES!!!
Okay I’m totally serious about coming down there. We shall plan this. OMG I CAN MAKE A FUN SIGN!!!
I’m dying right now.
Wow, you are going to be a busy gal! Congrats on Marine Corps!!! Congrats on everything!
I’d love to run Boston, but have to get a lot faster. My dream race is London Marathon. I’ve been shut out of the lottery for like 6 years in a row.
London would be pretty amazing! I hope you do it someday because I love how you take tons of pics and your recaps are always so much fun 🙂
Oh wow, thank you! Like I said, it’s a dream race. So hopefully someday!
Congrats on getting into MCM! Its always wonderful to be able to participate in a race or event that has a lot of meaning, and I’m sure you’ll be thinking about your dad during October’s race. 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
Yay! Congrats Helly! Perfect race day shirt for sure! You sure have a lot coming up. All exciting stuff!
Right now my dream race is anything Disney. I’m looking forward to the DPH next February. But for this year, both color runs!
Yey!!! So excited for you!! Definitely planning a meet up for MCM!! Congrats!
Woohoooo!!!
Congratulations! All the race recaps of MCM have been very positive. I hope you have a blast!
Thank you!
