Hello there!  Today is my first day with my students.  As of yesterday, I have 21 on my roster.  It is a good number and I know I will get more throughout the year.  I had one day of training and one full of meetings.  I am ready.  We’ll see how it goes.

I didn’t buy or use many new products this year.  I am pretty consistent with what I use.  I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing.

These are the two new things I used this year.

🏃🏾‍♀️ Garmin Forerunner 265.  I had the opportunity to test this watch prior to it being available to the public.  I wore it daily for a few minutes and provided my input.  In exchange, I received this as a gift from Garmin.  I love the color.  There are many great features but one of my favorites is that it has the option to track my walks.  I can also set it up to listen to music instead of using my phone.

🏃🏾‍♀️ Brooks Ghost Lite No Show Socks.  I bought these on sale and use them every day (not just for running).  They’re lightweight, soft, and just right cushioned (I don’t like my socks too cushioned).

Next week is a FREE topic.  Feel free to write about any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!

Last week I posted some Instagram stories/memories and this week it is Facebook.

I was this close to going to Hawaii for vacation.  It was that Summer I was hired as a teacher and my new teacher orientation was during that time, so I had to cancel my trip.

I remember going and having so much fun!  Unfortunately, I haven’t seen many of my classmates since then.

Summer months are usually when I run the most.

My last trip to Alaska!

Remote learning!  What an “awful year!

It was remote learning for the whole year.  I did have about 3 students come into the classroom the last quarter while the rest stayed at home.

Remember that whole chaos when Garmin stopped working?  

This year I worked again with kindergarten students.  It was a lot of work but so much fun!

Mateo is never happy to take pictures with me.

It is always fun to come across pictures of memories.  Some make me laugh and some make me sad.  Others make me anxious but overall I enjoy looking at the pictures.  As much as I like Instagram more than Facebook, I like Facebook memories more.  Plus, they are easier to capture.

Here are a couple of a few I managed to download a few days ago.

On a cruise ship going to Vancouver.  I had been in Alaska that week and it was time to get back home.

Now I am over 600 runs.  Oh, how I loved those Brooks Levitate shoes!

A very pretty pair of Brooks Ghost running shoes.

Lola, my beautiful and loyal cat, waiting for me to get home.

One of the reasons I dislike my name.  It isn’t easy to spell.
