Happy Day

It’s a happy day around here today for two reasons. . . .

1. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

Yeah!! I am so excited and so relieved to be done with school! I have been waiting for this day since the first day of school–literally.

Even though I have resigned from teaching, I am taking the summer off to enjoy my freedom and rejuvenate!

2. Today is also my sister’s 23rd birthday!

I am so glad I am able to celebrate with her this year—I don’t remember the last time I was able to do that!

She is the best sister I could ask for, and I am so lucky to have her in my life!

We have some fun activities planned for the evening, so I want to hurry up and get this day over so we can celebrate. . . .for more reasons than one!

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

      Skinny Raven has a running group that meets on Wednesday night (and sometimes on Saturday) for speed workouts. Check their website for more information.
