Gazette Spotted in California

This was in our local newspaper, courtesy of my running partner, Traci Payne:


Jen Muhlig(left), Traci Payne(middle)and Dianne Reichard hold up a recent issue of the Augusta Gazette newspaper during their trip to San Diego, Calif. The trio took the picture at 4 a.m. June 6 before heading to a race. Muhlig ran a full marathon, and Payne and Reichard ran a half marathon as part of the Rock N' Roll Marathon for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society

Buffing Up

After completing my marathon I didn't want to gain a bunch of weight and didn't want to quit eating the crap that I do, but I also didn't want to continue to run 30+ miles a week. So my compromise was to continue running, but less miles, and lift weights. The three of us ride our bikes and/or run (Madelyn rides her bike or her electric scooter)to the AHS weight room 3-4 times a week to work out. Madelyn sometimes will play in the wrestling room, but often times I will find her right alongside her daddy doing....

I guess she is buffing up for 2nd Grade, or maybe for fall soccer. Either way, I'm very pleased that she is learning great habits from her daddy, hopefully that will continue a lifetime.

Wordless Wednesday

Big Brother 12

Big Brother 12 starts on Thursday and I cannot wait! I'm not sure who is more excited, me or my MIL, Judy. We love this show! It is on three nights a week but if I miss one night I know I can count on updates from Judy. I always enjoy our BB discussions.

We FLIP over the FOURTH!

Thank you to the past, present and future men and women that have served our country. God Bless you all!

My Fam

I didn't get a choice when I was born into this family but I know I couldn't have hand picked a more amazing family. I am truly blessed to be loved and tolerated by these great people. I thank God for them every day!
