St. Louis showed big love to its international community this weekend at the Race For Refugees. Even my "stereotypical" husband put a bib on.

Volunteering at ultra marathons is the perfect getaway.

We supported runners at the Ozark Foothills Endurance Runs this weekend! If you are looking for a tough Midwest course, this one will chew you up and spit you out..but you are gonna have a great time!

#trailrunning #ultrarunning

I love that you do this!

"Fine! We can hold hands, but no cuddling!!" Even cranky old dogs can't resist Chickie.

#cats. #dogs

Definitely going on my list!

Ah, bringing downtown back by making it even less walkable. Shameful.

What is this "unsanitary" you speak of?

#caturday

I would follow him anywhere.

My stomach can't handle those two in Federation uniforms.

Mom left her with us last summer, but checks in every morning to make sure she is okay.

#cats

That's good. I was about to bring him one.

The Midwest is doing all of the things today. Erratic weather with a side of spectacular.

Very nice!

Being a race volunteer is awesome. I did gave cookies to every kid who walked up and asked for one, as we were set up next to a playground.

Misunderstood Nina. Definitely not the most spoiled girl in the history of spoiled girls.

Some things are just as much fun as they sound.

#skate

Looks like fun!

She is my whole inspiration!

Apparently my ass doing squats is stronger than these two horses.

#runsky

AMEN.

This crap right here is exactly why I will not make it past day one in my upcoming backyard ultra. Stupid DNF machines ruining my life with their incessant purrs.

I need that food truck to be at the aid station so I can keep my "front of the back of the pack" status. Bull testicles and all.

Oof. That is something that would happen to me.

That was my issue. I paid for one and chickened out. Gonna do one in March, so no time to let the stress get to me.

I finally got 1/4 of my kids to try a trail run today. This is the best possible start to 2026. Happy New Year!

Finally try a backyard ultra. And not be in the potty when the loop starts.

Excellent outlook.

Illinois and Missouri trails: pay attention or eat shit. I am apparently a fan of the latter, as i am known for going home bloody.

#trailrunning

I would dnf the heck out of it.
