So stay tuned and enjoy reading about our journey as first time parents.

Hi track fans!Like most athletes, injuries always seem to come when you least expect them. I have been experiencng some small issues with my body. My knees have been really sore and after running at Kent State my hamstrings have been so sore. I am able to train, I just have to warm up a little longer and really get loose. I have been doing some rehab stuff and for the most part can still run. So

Hello everyone,It's that time again.....an update about Brooklyn and all that she has been up to. I hope you are all doing good and things are going well. Brooklyn is now 7 weeks old, boy does time fly fast. She is doing some amazing things such as smiling, cooing, holding her head up all by herself, and even pushing up during tummy time. I can say that the best thing was her first smile at Mommy

Hello everyone, Again thanks for all the best wishes and support. I was able to sit at home with Brooklyn and Chris last week and watch the World Championships for track and field. They were in Berlin, Germany and man was it exciting. This was the place that Jesse Owens conquered and won 4 Gold Olympic Medals. Looking at the Jamaicans I would have to agree with lots of others that they did it

Hello everyone,I am not a Happy camper right now, but I am trying to stay in good spirits. I am working on 41 weeks being pregnant. Only the Lord knows when a special bundle of joy will arrive, and I have to trust in him. So sorry doctors, you said she would arrive on July 28 or 29th and she hasn't come out to see the world as of yet.I will say that my pregnancy was a very good one up until this

Hey everyone,I am currently 33 weeks and counting down the days until Brooklyn is born. Yes that's right her name is going to be Brooklyn Marie Wineberg. When Chris and I thought about names several came to mind such as MaKayla, Olivia, and Brooklyn. Chris was able to pick out the name he liked best and it was Brooklyn. This name sounds so beatuiful and I know it will match her perfectly.

Hey everyone,I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day! My days have been very busy and I know you all are wondering, what have I been up to? Well honestly a lot.

I have been doing a lot of things in the community, speaking engagements, mentoring and of course enjoying the high school track meets in the

Hello everyoneI am back again, and blogging about Mother's Day. I hope that all the mother's out there were able to be treated special and that as daughter's.....you are appreciated.

Chris, my mom and I were able to meet up with the Gordon's and Wineberg's to show Blake support as he was dedicated with his mom and dad.

Hey Hey everyone,Well I can tell you all that pregnancy has been one of the greatest things to happen to me so far. Yes in the beginning I was emotional and my hormones were a crazy wreck. I probably was this girl who was just weird......but thank goodness I am back to normal. All I have now is a little belly and and a protruding belly button ha ha. My husband continues to be a huge supporter
