Under Armour is releasing a running experience like no other coming next week.  Until last year, I hadn't thought of Under Armour as a long distance running shoe brand but my thoughts have greatly changed since experiencing the HOVR technology for myself!

Let me be honest, I haven't blogged much lately because my brain feels "fuzzy". Maybe that's not the right word for it. Basically I feel like I'm still spinning in this whirlwind of life changes we're going through. Really, really GOOD changes but it's hard to articulate my thoughts. In bulleted format, because it's all my brain will currently allow, let me give you a run down of the previous and the newest years. 2017 in Review: I joined the BibRave Pro team in January. Two races were run, the  Frozen Feat 10k  &  Hot Chocolate 15k Minneapolis  (with BibRave), and I continued "running for two" with Baby C through 39 weeks pregnant. My 30th birthday happened in May. Whoa. 30. Our homeschooling journey began as E started the God's Little Explorers preschool curriculu...
