Someone recently asked me about my running and how I currently feel about it. True, I'm not running 5 days per week as I have in the past. I'm not even running my usual 3. I think my new norm for awhile (maybe forever) might be 2 days a week.
How do I feel about it? I feel liberated. I feel like stepping outside of the model of runner to something bigger. Because I've said it before, and I will say it again, I am more than just a runner. As I grow older with my family, I realize that life is constantly changing. I am constantly changing. And learning to embrace the change definitely makes for an easier transition. For probably the first time in my life, I am

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a Release N Run Leash for free from Rad Dog in consideration for a gear review. All opinions are mine and honest in nature. If you've been anywhere near me, then you know that Miles is a huge part of our lives. If you haven't met Miles, here is a picture of him when he was just a baby pup. Miles is a Mountain Cur.
Now, he will be 2 in December, and he's still just as adorable. He thinks he's a huge lap dog. He loves to lay on the back of the couch. It's ridiculous, but we love him.
He is my running buddy, but he's also Hubby's hunting dog. This means that he's outside a lot. When I run with him, he's usually on a leash. When he's with Hubby, he's usually off leash once they are in a safe place away from traffic. Hubby uses a tracking collar, but he needs a leash when they get near roads, or when he needs to make sure that he stays out of certain areas.
I wish we would have had the Release N Run leash when we were traveling. Miles travels great in his dog box, but of course every time that we stopped at a rest area, we needed a leash. He was ready to get out of the box, and we were scrambling to find his leash. If we'd had the Release N Run leash, his leash would have been on his collar!
The Release N Run leash is a 4 foot retractable leash that is built into the collar. Trust me, it's super convenient to have the leash built into the collar. From my testing, the leash and collar seem strong enough to contain Miles if needed. The Rad Dog website states that it is strong enough for dogs up to 110 lbs. I would love to take him out on the trail with the Release N Run leash, but well When Life Throws You A Curveball, sometimes things have to wait. So this will have to wait for now. But we'll be out there on the roads and trail in time.
Here is a quick video that I made to demonstrate how the Release N Run leash works. As always Miles is ready to go!
So far I have been very pleased with the Rad Dog Release N Run leash. I think I'd like to check out some of their other products also. You can check out the Rad Dog website here and you can read more about the Release N Run leash here.
For now, Miles and I are staying close to home, but we'll be out there soon for more adventures. Writing is one of my passions, and I'm stepping out there on faith to follow my dream. If you like this blog or this post, please take a moment to share it with friends. Thank you for helping me follow my dream.

My family is definitely on the go. In the summer, it's amusement parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, hiking and playing outdoors. The winter usually brings snow (and lots of fun), along with school and sports activities, hiking and whatever else we can find to do during the cold months.
And although I do enjoy the occasional evening out, it's our movie nights (or even days) at home that makes my heart swell with memories. To me, there is just something about gathering together to enjoy time with each other which usually includes yummy food and a movie or two. It's the simple things in life.
With the help of Tyson® foods and Redbox®, life just got easier. From 2/6/17 to 4/15/17, if you purchase any two eligible Jimmy Dean®, State Fair®, or Tyson products in a single transaction at a Walmart Supercenter or Walmart Neighborhood Market, and visit www.TysonFreeMovieNight.com to upload …
Yeah... so last week I said that If I Need To Google It, I'm Not Eating It and that lasted about..... a day... yep... I'd say about 24 hours. Because the reality is, in my life is not all or nothing. Sure, I suppose I could pack us healthier snacks (and that's an area I'm trying to be more consistent with), but my reality is sometimes McDonald's happens. Hey just keeping it real. And sometimes so does a sub from a local convenience store or a slice of pizza. And then once I messed up, the all or nothing attitude reared its ugly head! And wow hello to disordered eating. I found myself just eating junk because I felt that I had already blown it for the day.
Well, I'm having some medical issues. I'm waiting to find out about the nodule on my thyroid, but I'm experiencing a lot of joint pain and swelling. And I mean a lot. Some of the knuckles on my fingers have been 5 times the normal size. They are hot to touch, and I'm unable to bend them.
I don't know what's going on with me, but I suspect it has a lot to do with what I'm putting in my body. I decided that's probably where I should really start anyway.
Yep, I've added the sugar back, and I've noticed the joint pain is worse after I eat sugar. It's also worse after I eat processed food (which still could be sugar or a combo of several things). That being said, I've never truly cut out all processed foods (or food where I can't pronounce the words). Basically if I have to google it, I'm not eating it for the next two weeks.
Honestly, I'm still pretty unsure about this decision as I type this. I've never done this before. I&…
