And 24 hours later I said goodbye to Tina, my temporary foster dog. And now I will cry for the next three days.

Went out while Ken was sleeping and came home with this little nugget.

Does this lack of wisdom teeth make my face look fat? #TransformationTuesdayOnASaturday

Happy Father's Day to the coolest guy I know. When he turned 50 he stopped cutting his hair, bought a Harley, and started taking guitar lessons. His first words to me upon getting my Fine Arts Degree were "Can I try on your cool hat?"

After running 13.1 miles in non-stop rain I'm finally warm and dry. Despite the weather the #manitobamarathon half marathon was fantastic. I PR'd with a time of 2:01:41. One of these days I'll Sub 2:00! It's been 12 years and 60lbs lost since I ran the #mbmarathon half marathon... Feels good. (at Manitoba Marathon Finish Line.)

Woke up to a down pour and a foot cramp. Things aren't looking good. #mbmarathon #manitobamarathon

Last long run before the half marathon on Sunday. 7miles and a run past a witches hut. Good start to the day.

My birthday breakfast courtesy of my husband. This guy knows how to make me smile.

My fun level has gone down drastically, but the health of my hair is slowly increasing. Bye blonde hair. Hello brown hair.

RIP Blonde Hair. I miss you already.

Happy Mother's Day to this lady. You're one of my favourite parents.

I did it. My first half marathon since I was 14(2002). Finished in 2:02:10 (my time in 2002 was 2:46:06). I feel like I could've hit 2 hours but it was so crowded leaving the corral and finishing that I got held up a few times. I placed 42/120 for my age group. I never would've imagined that I was capable of this... Props to my brother @tarengesell who surprised me at mile 5 to cheer me on and give me high fives. My friend @deebo27 who put a big smile on my face when I came across him at mile 9 in a full storm trooper costume. And my running buddy @ocanderson for all her prerace training sessions and postrace hugs. (at Assiniboine Park Duck Pond)

My husband caught this picture of me right after finishing the half marathon, saying "I'm so tired..." And I still am. I'll share more photos and results after I've had some sleep. Thanks for all of your support, guys! ❤️❤️ (at Assiniboine Park Duck Pond)
