Hi! I'm Bree...also known as Brianna or Bri.
About Me
This year I will no longer be forty, but officially in my forties. I'm married with two kids. This is us. Please excuse my son's hair. He looked like someone from a 1970s men's shampoo commercial or a hobo. Take your pick. As all parents know, sometimes you have to pick your battles. My MIL came to the rescue and told him he was not allowed to visit her in Maine until he cut it off. Meme is a goddess in his eyes so of course he complied. And for some reason it looks like I'm missing an arm!
This is our dog Ginger. She's a golden retriever, but we have to keep her shaved down because she's allergic to grass. The upside to that is less dog fur tumbleweeds in the house. Don't mind her. She thinks all sticks are for eating.
Here is Piper. He is fat, lazy and likes to chew on your hair in the middle of the night. If it fits, it sits.
This is Annie. She's got an attitude problem and a resting witch face, but loves me so all is good.
We live in a smallish town in central Florida where these wild birds freely roam the streets. I wouldn't say we live in the flaming depths of hell during the summer, but I'm pretty sure our town is located just outside the gates. Oh, and nobody believes me that it gets down right cold here in the winter.
My favorite activities involve coffee, food, books, running, shopping and of course DISNEY! Here I am with my daughter at the cake decorating class at Amorette's Patisserie in Disney Springs. This was a perfect combination of coffee, food, shopping and Disney.
Running Life
I'm not going to bore you all too much with a novel about my running background. I'll give you the Cliff notes version. I ran cross country in junior high and high school, off and on for years after that then picked it up seriously again in 2014. My Disney races include the 2015 Princess 10K & the 2017 Princess 5K & Glass Slipper Challenge. I fell off the running wagon in April 2017, started running again at the end of August then literally fell off a ladder in October. My first real run after my October injuries was December 27th. I cycled through Galloway and Higdon plans over the years and felt like I was getting nowhere (cue hamster on a wheel). Through this site I connected with @DopeyBadger. Now I have my very own DBP! I'm also hoping to lose the 20 pounds that has adhered itself to my butt and thighs over the last two years. I'll be journaling that along with my running!
So there you have it. I have officially stepped out of my comfort zone for all the world to judge. Hope you enjoy my future ramblings. Can't promise that I will always provide timely updates, but I will try my best. I do have a pile of books to read, you know!
