I have never been a morning person. Before Emerson, I would have told you that I ran because that's what my training plan said I was supposed to do, or because I knew it would help me reach my goals.
Today I woke up at 5:30 to go out for a run, simply because I felt like it (and I wanted to try out the brand new purple headlamp Jamie bought me!). Pregnancy has turned running into something I want to do, rather than feeling like I have to. It's taken all the pressure off of PRs and mileage goals. I run simply because I enjoy it, and to (hopefully!) give my daughter a happy, healthy life. Emerson Lilly, you are the most beautiful little blessing. You've brought more happiness to my life in twenty-nine short weeks than I ever could have imagined, and I cannot wait to kiss your chubby little cheeks. Momma loves you so, so much!

Hello, my name is Alyssa!I'm a momma to Emerson Lilly and two fur babies, a distance runner, and just a girl full of sparkle and quirks. I love traveling to races and exploring new places to run! I started this blog in 2014 as more of a journal to keep track of training for my first marathon, and I've continued to post about training, races, and other things happening in my life. Also, I'd like to be your best friend. :) Categories
