This was only about a mile of the #run, rest was pretty clear. Felt good today. Definitely noticing the benefits of consistent strength training impacting my #running.

Keep a stack of index cards with staff members names, or #students if you’re a #teacher, to ensure you go and check-in with them & leave a Positive Post-It behind!

Not letting the weight on my shoulders keep me down.

Practiced standing back up when things get heavy this morning before the world woke up.

What’s something small that I stock up on every #school year that makes a huge, positive difference in our culture?

Post-Its!

Start leaving Positive Post-Its behind & see the difference!

Let’s go!

Post-Thanksgiving Miles

A little sore after yesterday’s 10K, but wanted to get in my 5 for the week outside before we get snow dumped on us tomorrow.

Had a blast keeping our Thanksgiving morning tradition going with #running the Highland Pumpkin Plod 10K. This year Aubs ran it & took 1st in her age group & won a pie!

Fall Break means a quiet day in the school getting caught up on evaluations & paperwork while rocking my newest Alter Ego Ambassador hat!

Morning Miles

Didn’t sleep the greatest, still putting in the work because it won’t happen on its own.

Keep showing up when you don’t want to.

Consistency is key 🔑

Fall Sport’s Awards Night. Ev got was awarded Best Looking on the Team for his Rugged Good Looks by his teammates. I guess that no shaving paid off! 🤣

Implementing a mobile desk has been a game changer as a principal! Best way to know what’s happening in our schools is to be in the mix! So many 🔥s get averted by being present.

Today was a great reminder that not every training session would be amazing, but consistency is 🔑!

It’s that time of year when some miles need to get done on the dreadmill.

I HATE the treadmill, but this season I’ll embrace it, knowing it’ll only make my mental game that much stronger.

Checking my ego & lowering the weight as I get back into lifting. Excited for the journey. Going to focus on lifting consistently while training for my next #halfmarathon.
