Run with Nick Ashill, wrapping up the school year

Had an amazing run yesterday with Nick Ashill, more on that in a little bit...

We have wrapped up a school year for the kids. Summer is done with Kindergarten.   

Which means more time for bike rides and smelling the flowers.

I did go on one final weekday run without the kids at the Quarry Trails Metro Park. 

I am excited for more fun stuff with Summer.

I was able to wrap up the school year with a school talk and had a lot of fun being back in-person. Hoping to do more school talks in the fall.

Evan has been mastering the swing on the swingset and also riding his bike better and better. 

Had the opportunity to share an amazing story yesterday. Nick Ashill was running across the country in 2017 when he was hit by a car in Central Ohio. His legs and hips were shattered and the doctors didn't know if he could walk again. He was determined to finish the run to raise money/awareness for pulmonary fibrosis, which took the life of his mother. Yesterday he returned to the accident scene and we ran, about 30 miles, from there to the OSU hospital where he had more than a dozen surgeries. Honored to be there for his return run on Day 1 of Part 2 of his cross-country journey. Here is a link to the LIVE shots from yesterday, while we ran:

Quick look at your forecast:

Good Tuesday morning! Hottest day of the year expected today! We have hit 87 a few times, but today we are going to give 90 a run for its money. Humidity will be making it feel like the lower 90s today and we will have mostly sunny skies. There is a very, very slim chance for a spotty shower or storm popping up today because of the heat, 10% chance. Warm and mostly clear tonight with low temps around 68. Wednesday we will have an approaching cold front. Highs around 87 with high humidity then we will cool down with scattered showers and storms in the afternoon. Central Ohio is in the Slight Risk for gusty storms in the afternoon, mainly between 2PM and 9PM. A few lingering showers possible overnight and Thursday with a couple rumbles of thunder possible, but severe weather not likely overnight into Thursday. Both Wednesday and Thursday it will be a 60% chance of rain, so most of the area will likely see rain, but not a guarantee for everyone. We will be cooler on Thursday with a high of 72. Mostly sunny Friday and Saturday with highs in the upper 70s with low humidity. GREAT weather! We will warm up to 81 on Sunday with a high of 81. There is a slight chance for an isolated shower or storm, 20% chance. More scattered showers and storms early next week and we will stay warm for the start of the week. Have a good one!

Best,
