Sidelined to Share An Exciting Announcement #RFR5K

2 weeks ago I shared a post introducing you to The Red Faced Runners. So many of you have joined in the #RFR5K challenge, sharing your red faces with us and motivating us along the way. Well, I am excited to share that because of the overwhelming response from others, we decided The Red Faced Runners needs a website of its very own! Over the past two weeks we’ve been working our tails off to bring you the new Red Faced Runners Blog!

I hope you’ll come on over and check things out. Follow along as we share our adventures in running and getting healthy. Complete the official #RFR5K signup form to let the world know you’ve taken the next step to run, walk, shimmy your way to a new and healthy you! Learn all about the 11 bloggers behind The Red Faced Runners….is there someones story that resonates with you? Join in as we have fun, train, sweat and get red faced together! (PS – you don’t have to be a blogger to be a Red Faced Runner!)

As excited as I am to share the news of our new adventure together, I’m bummed to share that I am going to be sidelined for awhile with a stress fracture in my foot. I can’t explain how frustrating it is to be so motivated to run, have the energy and the drive, and then to suddenly be stuck… sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to being Red Faced soon enough. In the meantime, please get out there and run for me! I’ll be cheering you right along!

Come get Red Faced with us!

    Oh no Kristen!! So sorry to hear about your stress fracture, and I hope you have a speedy healing. How long before you can run again?

    Hubby and I just completed week 7 day 3 of couch to 5K last night, and even managed to get in 2 runs while on vacation last week. Yay!!

    Hey girl…so exciting about the new site!!

    So sorry to hear about the fracture though. About a year and a half ago, I was doing the 30 Day Shred workout and was doing SO well, then I sprained my ankle…badly. It was swollen and bruised and I could barely stand. I felt so so so bummed because I had finally gotten to a point where I could do the work out comfortably. I feel your pain.

    Get better soon, chickie!! xoxo

    I may not be able to be a Red Faced Runner but I plan on joining in to be a Red Faced Whatever I Can Do to Get Healthy. Next year I will join in on the running part. I hope you heal quickly. You are such an inspiration.

    I am sorry friend! If you hang out at the pool, pool running is a great way to keep your injury from getting worse and it will keep you in running shape! Injuries stink but you will get back, just dont rush it, you are doing the right thing but sitting out instead of making it worse!

    So sorry about your fracture, Kristen! Hope it heals very quickly and you’re right back out there where you want to be – running. I’m watching, reading, and supporting you runners. I’m a red-faced really-fast-walker who aspires to one day be a runner. I have a long way to go before I get there, but I’m hoping to join you all one day!

    I did not really know where to post this as it is really is not an injury per se. During and after a run, my face gets extremely red. It has done this since I started back running a few years ago. I don’t remember it happening when I was younger. I am not particularly speedy but I like to compete in my age group in local 5K and 10K. I just was given a few photos of myself in a race by a friend and my face is beet red! One time while running an easy run around my neighborhoo my neighbor slowed the car and motioned for me to come up to the window. She then said “are you alright?” I explained that yes, my face just gets red when I run.

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂
