On Sunday, October 12, 2025, Iβll be #running my 8th Chicago Marathon! Had a blast at the Expo, & loved talking shop with Katie & Bill! Time to rest, carbo load, & get ready for 26.2 amazing miles!

As a #principal Iβve learned that honesty, listening, & support can truly positively shift a #schools culture.
As humans, those same qualities can truly positively shift our world.

Been quiet lately, dealing with injuries has been messing w/ my head. But tonight, a sense of calm returned.
Itβs taking me years but I finally realized why I need #running.

Had a blast as Reavisβ Secret Celebrity Announcer for their morning announcements today! I hope this Grizzly did a great job for the Roadrunners!

Had a great time cheering on Evan & Aubrey at The Culver Academy Invitational! Evan ran varsity & had a great time. Aubrey did as well, medaling by taking 7th out of 254 runners! Love watching them grow as #runners!

Morning miles are honestly my favorite. Today was a reminder how much I need them.
Also, listened to a podcast this morning, 1st time ever while #running, itβs always music, & had no clue my pace was faster than I planned! Miles just flew by!
#fitleaders
Proud of Evan & how his XC Season is going Junior Year! Saturday was the infamous New Prarie Invitational, a very cool, but tough course. Ev persevered & finished with his best time yet this season!

To bring about the best in our #students, we must have a team approach to #education.
Admin, #TEACHers, #school staff, & parents, we must work together to positively influence & change our kids lives so they know they will make a difference in our world.

Rolled my ankle on my morning #run last Tuesday. Let it rest, which was good for my body, but not my mind. Got back at it today & realized how much I needed these miles.
#Running means so much more to me than just the physical benefits.

Been a little quiet on social media lately, but rest assured crew, still getting in those miles.

20 miles β
My last few long runs havenβt gone how I wanted, but today I felt the best over 15 miles than I have this entire training cycle. Next week is 12 & then 20 #2 in 2 weeks. Did I mention, I β€οΈ #running?

Thursday Afternoon Miles
Feeling good. Todayβs #run was a reminder why I β€οΈ #running. Canβt even put it into words, beyond grateful to be able to run.

What better way to learn than having #students take the lead & #teach in Mrs. Kmetzβs 3rd grade!
#teacher #TEACHers #EduCultureCookbook
I wonder if #running misses me as much as I miss it when Iβm not?
#fitleaders #run #runner #marathon #thoughtoftheday #ThoughtForTheDay
I canβt think of a better way to kick off each #school day than blasting music & passing out fist bumps, high fives, & smiles to #students, families, & staff during morning arrival.
Setting the tone of #positivity each day!

Had an amazing weekend watching Aubrey & her team, the 14U Panthers, go undefeated & take home the championship at the Blueberry Fest Softball Tournament! Great start to their season, looking forward to more exciting games with a great team of girls & families!

Today, Mrs. Fortinβs kindergarteners not only had Detective Lewis read to them, but she also talked about & guided them in the strength of #meditation!

Youβd think after 7 marathons the 18 mile training #run wouldnβt be an issue, but, while training for marathon 8, once again, itβs one of my worst runs and has me questioning everything. Still won & got it done. Just need stick to the plan.
