Life Lately in 140 Characters or Less
By now, I realize it’s quite possible you may be under the impression I was abducted by aliens. Or, you may have guessed I fell into a crack in the Earth and completely disappeared. Or, you may have concluded I retreated to the North Pole to escape the Florida heat and have lost all Internet access.
Alas, I am alive and well. A lot has been happening here at rUnladylike headquarters. Here are my latest updates in 140 characters or less!
My running base is officially back. I’m running 15-21 miles/week with a 7-mile long run. Mileage and distance will increase from here.
Views from three recent 7-mile runs:
Florida’s humidity is a confidence crusher, but I’m persevering. I slow my pace and walk as needed, and my treadmill helps on hot days.
I’m going to Grand Teton, Yellowstone & Glacier National Parks this month. It’s Baby rUnladylike’s introduction to our National Park quest.
(Be sure to follow the excitement on Instagram where I’ll be posting regularly throughout the journey.)
I found a new cross-training studio: CAMP. Their circuit class combines speed work & weights + they have spinning & yoga. It’s my new jam.
I’m running two 5Ks in September: The Fit Foodie on 9/9 and the Thin Mint Sprint on 9/16. Watch for exciting giveaways and updates soon!
My flight is booked to Boston for the Seacoast Half Marathon! My training has been unstructured, so I’ll be digging deep the next 3 months.
The fun we’re having as a family with Baby rUnladylike and the joy she brings me is beyond words. She’s 7 months today! GASP!
What have been the highlights of your last month? How is your fall training going?

Love this! I ran the Missoula Half Marathon and hiked in Glacier NP last month. I hiked in Grand Teton and Yellowstone a couple of years ago; let me know if you want any tips. You’ll have an amazing time! I’m focused on TEDxCharlotte, and I also just signed up for Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach Marathon in December.
So, so great!!! I love all of this so much…except that I will miss out on seeing you while you’re so close!
Looking forward to your Insta pics of the parks!
So many great things going on for you! Glacier, Teton, and Yellowstone sound amazing – and I love that Baby rUnladylike is starting off her adventuring! She is so big now and has such a beautiful smile – happy 7 month birthday to her! Enjoy your trip – I look forward to seeing your pictures!
I think y our national park quest is so cool! I would love to visit more parks but I am a day trip kind of girl, not so much a sleeping bag in a tent one haha I am sure you will build great memories with your little one! Looks like your running is going well too! Look forward to the rest of your progress and race!
I graduated from PT a month ago, yay! Now I am having issues on my other leg, not so yay. Working it and that is what matters though. Also, my 4 year old climbed a mountain and descended it all by herself (okay we held her hand a few times) our first family hike not on just forest trails and it was amazing. I was seriously so inspired and impressed! Only 1.5 miles and 1,200 feet, but still…that is more than I ever did at 4! Made me so proud.
