As many of you know, this school year I accepted a job in my district working as a para in Special Education. Accepting this position has been an incredibly rewarding experience and while challenging, I am beyond excited to work in this department in addition to my coaching business.
The life skills team this year is comprised of a new team, and we are rebuilding from the ground up to support these students in developing important life skills to allow them to do so many of the daily activities that most of us take for granted.
For the last several weeks, we have been preparing for our first field trip to Barnes & Noble this Friday. Students have been learning how to budget, count money, ask for assistance in a store, and ordering from a menu. They all love to read about their favorite animals, places, characters, and so many non-fiction genres. Our selection of reading level appropriate books for this group is very limited at this time and they were beyond excited when selecting this as our first field trip.
If anyone would be interested in donating a small Barnes & Noble gift card or purchasing an eGift card from Barnes & Noble to allow us to expand our library and give the students an opportunity to choose their favorite books, I would be most grateful.
If you have a gift card you would like to donate to help me with this endeavor, please send me a message to arrange pick up. You can also purchase an eGift card with the link below from Barnes & Noble as any of the ones here can be an eGift. My email address is [email protected]
Your kindness is greatly appreciated in helping me make this an amazing experience for this awesome group of students while they demonstrate the life skills they are learning and build their confidence about the real world. Thank you in advance for your kindness!

eGift Card.

Our first weekend of racing is officially on the books! The Hartland Harvest Run, and the Farmington Valley Pumpkin Run did not disappoint. The weather was spectacular and made for a perfect day of racing. The courses were filled with all our fall favorites and we had runners from both our Middle School 5k Club, and our Lil' Sprinter's 5k Club participate in these events. The courses were challenging with lots of hills, but our runners came ready to run, and they all did amazing! We had 6 kids place top 3 in their age groups at the Harvest Run and they earned those medals. I am incredibly proud of all of them and am beyond grateful to share the experience with them. Thank you to all the families and friends who came out to support and cheer us on! It was truly a great day and I'm super excited to race with them this weekend with HMF. Total Runner Athletics, LLC

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE:
Thank you everyone for all your comments, texts, and prayers, they truly have meant so much. It's been a roller coaster ride since Friday night and I am still in the ICU due to blood pressure support. While being a runner gives you a lot of health advantages like low blood pressure; the addition of the high test pain meds, high fever, and now blood infection have made it too low to not require blood pressure support, (and it's NOT) fun! Truth be told, I am pretty miserable, I miss my boys, my friends, my pups, all my groups, students, running, and good food. The weather also looks pretty amazing from my window, so I'm definitely missing that too!! My saving grace is the calls, texts, and messages from all of you. The check-ins, offers to visit, help with boys, help at the house with pups, chickens, all the words of encouragement, and silly jokes to keep me distracted mean so much. 🥰❤️ I'm hopeful that today is a better day and I will get some good news or maybe an update that doesn't want to make me cry.
I hope you all get the opportunity to get outdoors today and that you are all having an amazing weekend! Take care!
....................
Hello All. Thank you all so much for all your messages today. I'm sorry that I can't get back to everyone right now. Unfortunately, despite being a model patient yesterday and my symptoms worsening, I have scored myself an overnight stay in the Hospital. They are working deligently to get everything under control. I will be having a CT scan shortly due to a new development. May I please ask for positive energy, prayers, smoke signals to the heavens, and all the good juju you can say for me that it comes back negative. I do not want to have surgery and am really hoping it goes my way. 😊

The boys are all set and I'm so grateful for all the support to help. I need to turn my phone off for a bit, but I just wanted to update everyone as you have all been so kind.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and please do not worry about me, I've got this!
Love you all! 😘🥰...........
