i hope i hope i hope

well, i just signed up for the lottery for the cherry blossom 10 miler.  if i get in, it will be my first race since having my baby and my last before i turn 35 (my birthday is exactly one week after race day).  i pushed “register” and then sent it off to cyberspace and the powers that be.  i am hoping with all of my heart that i get a spot.  i love this race and the energy that goes along with it.  even though it’s always super-crowded and crazy, being a part of it always makes me happy.

other news – today i can start saying “i am due next month” since it is the first of december!  even though i am not due til the end of january (the 28th), for some reason saying my due date is next month is really fun to say and i am able to convince myself that it is closer than it really is.  whatever works to keep me positive …. i find that looking on the bright side of things is definitely the right perspective for me these days, and always.

Hi, I'm Jess!

Thanks for visiting my blog! I’m a runner, a coach, and an artist whose work’s purpose is to celebrate and encourage others on the run. I started running over 20 years ago when I signed up for my first marathon, and since then it has become an integral part of me and how I live my life. Running changed me in ways I never could have imagined, and has continued to lead me down a path of personal and professional growth and self discovery. On this blog I love sharing stories about my journey, talking about the lessons I’ve learned along the way and connecting with all of you. Thank you for being here!
