Recognizing 7 years of marriage. September 3, 2013
He's just so darn handsome when he's doing what he loves.
A little weekend trip to Newport, Oregon. Taken a few hours after completing my 10 miles!

Pushing the Boundaries
Being an active member of the Cystic Fibrosis community has been so empowering. It's truly inspiring to see so many carrying out their dreams; educating us all about what endurance means, what waking up each day with a purpose looks like, and what it truly means to change a culture. Over the past ten years the culture of having CF has been changing. From being a victim of a life-shorting disease to one of making CF be the drive to excel and reach new limits.
Only after getting to know a number of those in the CF community did I really look at running as a way to life longer, truly. I saw a transformation in how healthy these people were, but I also saw how they endured even when CF had a mind of its own, which it often does.
This past week a video project that some in the CF community were apart of was released. It's aw-inspiring. It makes me want to reach for new heights. To say the heck with limitations and just push as far as I possibly can. I encourage you to watch. These CF'ers are flippin' amazing. I wanna be like them: one long distance at a time.

In my running endeavors I decided to attempt to run the 10-mile leg of the Newport Oregon Half Marathon. On Saturday, September 14th I did it. I ran the farthest to date of 10 miles in 1:48. The run was gorgeous. We started out on pavement, worked our way to a gravel road along a Big Creek Reservoir and then to the beach for the last 4 miles. I knew going into this that the beach would be the most difficult part since I have never trained on sand, and it was. It was all mental and a number of times I wanted to walk but I didn't and I'm so glad I didn't. Running a crossed the 10 miles marker with Hubbs cheering on the sideline was so freeing.
I kept this goal under rapes because after the 10k in August I was sure I could add that much mileage in such a short time. I didn't want to over do it and cause injury or ware myself down and get sick. So I just continued to train as usual and when the day came I felt like I would know if I could do it or if I should wait. I wanted to be realistic.
So, now that I have 10 miles under belt I'm ready for a new goal!!
