Welcome ! Blog Post #1

Welcome to my blog !! I am so excited to be starting this adventure ! Let me first start my introducing myself. My name is Ann!   I am first, and foremost a wife and mommy to the two sweetest kids in the world ! They keep me busy, they keep me grounded and I am so blessed to be their mom. My husband, Danny, is a Division I football coach at the University of North Dakota.  Our world revolves around football, it has become our normal and though at times stressful, it's what we do and we wouldn't change it for anything ! 

 In addition to juggling two young kids and a busy husband, I am also a full time elementary teacher and extremely passionate about health and fitness, particularly running. 

 I just completed my 3rd marathon, my first big race since having children and hit a personal best time by about 19 minutes. 

 3 hours, 17 minutes. 

 I had been working towards this goal for almost 12 months, so to see hard training and time commitment play out like it did, was very rewarding. 

 I am hoping to use this page to share about all things mom life, football life, health and fitness life. My hopes are to connect with others on similar journeys and inspire others to be their best selfs ! I believe the best is yet to come !

 Life's a RIDE ! Let's Go !

 I received Now Foods BCAA Big 6 to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out  BibRave.com  to review find and write race reviews! BRANCH CHAIN AMINO ACIDS This was one product I was extremely excited to try and incorporate into my daily workout routine. I have never been a huge fan of supplements, nor do I use medication very often for any purpose. But Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) seemed different, as I had heard many good benefits of them from a variety of people, whom I think highly of when it comes to health and fitness. I have now been using Now Foods BCAA's in my water bottle on a daily basis, for about 6 weeks. The BCAA's come in two flavors, watermelon (which is my favorite) and grape. It's as easy as filling a water bottle with 14-16 ounces of water,  putting one scoop of powder in, and shake!                                  WHAT IS A BCAAs ANYWAY?? First off, What are BC

June 24, 2019 - AfterShokz Tre kz Air - Music to my Ears     It has been some time since I have blogged about anything ! 32 weeks pregnant has slowed my running game down, but not the exercise game. Since running through my pregnancies never has really worked for me (baby #3 due in about 8 weeks!), I haven't run since February, this has been mentally tough, but also a refreshing break from high mileage and high intensity workouts. I know I will be excited to get back out there this fall! Nice and sleek just around the neck too     I am usually an early morning runner, opting not to run with music, mainly because I am always cautious of my safety. But to be completely honest, after using the Trekz Air headphones, I was pleasantly surprised at ho

Grandma's Marathon Recap :)

                 Grandma's Marathon Race ReCap                              June 16, 2018  Friday  I have been doing a lot of reflecting on Grandma's Marathon, which took place just about a month ago now. I've tried hard to think back to all the moments throughout our time in Duluth, as it is easy for it all to be a blur. Overall, we had a fantastic time. The event is very well run. We arrived Friday early afternoon and went right to where we were staying, some friends, a few miles from downtown. One thing I appreciate about this, as the participate/athlete, you get away from the commotion of all the people around for the race and can relax. We took our time getting down to the race expo/packet pick-up. Had we done this again, I would not have waited as long as we did. Traffic was heavy and it took quite sometime to get parked down in Canal Park and into the DECC.  We walked through the EXPO and grabbed my packet and had dinner at the Spaghetti feed. Food was gre
