Last day of school for my oldest today. We leave for 2 months on Sunday. We need to get our house ready for renters and get all our stuff together to be a mobile family of 5 for 8 weeks. Oh, and my husband and I still need to work, we're not on vacation. Things are starting to get real over here at the Ericson's house.
The one thing that's keeping me sane is running. My running clothes are set to go, though nothing else is. I've got my favorite shorts and tanks ready to go (thanks, Oiselle), and my sneaker rotation is lined up at the door. I have my races on the calendar: Montpelier Mile July 3rd (I love that distance! I know many of you think I'm crazy for that, but I do!), Caspian Challenge July 27th, and the VT 100 on 100 Relay August 17th. Hopefully with other races scattered in there.
Breath in. Breath out. It will be a crazy summer, but it will also be an amazing adventure for our family. We're uprooting and traveling all over the state- camping, house-sitting, visiting family, staying in a couple different cottages. And all the while, the boys will be exploring, going to the beach, eating ice cream, and generally living the kid-dream. And I will have my sneakers and will be set to run wherever we are. Putting my sneakers on is my favorite way to explore, connect, relax and enjoy life. I can't wait to begin. And I can't wait to write all about it!
Happy summer running everyone!
We are two sisters living on separate sides of the country. One of the things that connects us, beside our love of hot beverages, is fitness. We love to run and strength train, and share the benefits of exercise with others. From the sisters who created Illume Fitness, we bring you Illuminated Runners: musings on running, cross fit, strength training, family, travel, life, and some serious dorkiness in there, too. "The spirit illuminates everything."
