My amazing, goofy, and above all so so loving father passed away recently. He gave me and my family so much, so much love and care. He showed us and told us all the time how important we were to him. He would scream it from the rooftops! He taught me so much about life and I am who I am today because of him. He taught me to love so loudly. Always growing up he would say, “you got this kid remember you’re a Lohmeier!” I’m trying dad. It gives me comfort to know he will always be a part of me and love cannot die. He was the best Papa! Always up for horsing around and willing to play and do whatever Greyson and Emmarie asked him to. They were his pride and joy, truly. He was like a big kid himself, the connection he had with them was incredible. He supported Chris and I through so much and sung our praises as we navigated parenting and life in general. He encouraged us to lean on each other. He reminded us always that he is here for us. I’m sad and so many things with not getting enough time. It would never be enough time, but man I know it always was quality time, so much of it. Today my dad would have called me and he would have sung happy birthday with all his heart in a fancy singing voice. He would fill me with all kinds of loving words. I will remember his words, voice, smell, laugh, and love always. I know dad, it all lives in me still. It all lives in my family. I love you Dad, to infinity and beyond, and beyond infinity.

Hi sweet fam! This is the first challenge since starting challenges where I am actually not committing and it’s so so hard as my body craves it! I also struggle with feeling like I “should” be doing it, but I know I can’t do it all right now! The only reason I’m not and feel like i’ll end up doing probably just half the workouts is because I’m working on training for my first half marathon since I was in my 20s! I wanted to share though how grateful I am to M/BODY because I feel like doing it for almost 3 years now my body is actually more equipped to run! I’ve been trying to look up stretches to support my late 30s knees/hips and I keep seeing moves we already do! This gives me hope that maybe I am coming into this with more than I though I had! M/BODY supports our body so so much and it will be my go to for cross training! Happy challenge all! Sending all the love and kick ass vibes! Our bodies are amazing may we always keep seeing this!🥰🔥💃🏻 Also any half marathon tips greatly appreciated! One of my biggest fears at this time is what if I need to use a restroom and there aren’t any during the run 😂?! All tips appreciated! 💛
