The Lansing Library's Ms. Kim visited Oak Glen while #students were in LRC classes. She read a Halloween story, taught a craft, & led an experiment!

Something that fires me up more than anything is when staff approach me, super excited & passionate about an idea or project!

Had a blast at the Witches in the Woods 5k! I haven’t #run an actual 5k race in a long time, but it reminded me I definitely need to do more! Came in 2nd in my age group! Aubrey came in a 1st in hers & 4th overall out of 322!

It was good! Got a little toasty out there. Went through all the emotions during the 26.2. At one point I told myself this was my last, but I’m literally about to register for 2026! 🤣
After 8 marathons I feel the toughest part is the roller coaster of emotions that come the days after finishing.

It’s all part of the journey & I wouldn’t change it for anything!

Looking forward to 2026!

Felt great to start my day w/ a barbell on my back!

As #marathon training was requiring higher mileage, weights took a backseat. Looking forward to building a habit where my next race training cycle strength remains a focus.

Back at it! First #run since The #ChicagoMarathon2025!

Got some BIG plans for 2026, training started today.

✅ Chicago Marathon 8

Had a blast #running through Chicago & having the best cheering & support crew helped pushed me through those tough times. No PR this year, but grateful to get to run 26.2 miles in the greatest city. Lessons learned & altar looking forward to 2026!
On Sunday, October 12, 2025, I’ll be #running my 8th Chicago Marathon! Had a blast at the Expo, & loved talking shop with Katie & Bill! Time to rest, carbo load, & get ready for 26.2 amazing miles!

As a #principal I’ve learned that honesty, listening, & support can truly positively shift a #schools culture.

As humans, those same qualities can truly positively shift our world.

Morning Miles before P/T Conferences. Digging the 40 degree temps!

Listened to the last 2 innings of the Cubs game. Had me #running faster than planned! 🤣

Been quiet lately, dealing with injuries has been messing w/ my head. But tonight, a sense of calm returned.

It’s taking me years but I finally realized why I need #running.

Had a blast as Reavis’ Secret Celebrity Announcer for their morning announcements today! I hope this Grizzly did a great job for the Roadrunners!

Had a great time cheering on Evan & Aubrey at The Culver Academy Invitational! Evan ran varsity & had a great time. Aubrey did as well, medaling by taking 7th out of 254 runners! Love watching them grow as #runners!

Morning miles are honestly my favorite. Today was a reminder how much I need them.

Also, listened to a podcast this morning, 1st time ever while #running, it’s always music, & had no clue my pace was faster than I planned! Miles just flew by!
