Runfessions Island Style

I Runfess…

We are just wrapping up our last day here in Aruba. I feel so fortunate to have had these last few weeks here to relax and feel a little more “normal”. It’s been incredible to spend time both alone with my husband and with our kids the last half. We indeed feel very blessed. 

I also Runfess…

I am ready to come home now. It’s been great to have the chance to run on the beach, enjoy the warm air and take in the sunsets. However, there is no place like home. Looking forward to getting back into my routine at home.

About Deborah Brooks

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    I am seriously envious of your lengthy time away to the beach! One thing I’ve heard over and over in my exam rooms this year is parents and kids telling me how much this year has brought them closer together; that they’ve enjoyed some really good family time. I agree! I hope that continues, even when things open back up. Safe travels, my friend!

      We have had some really great family time and that is always a plus. It has been a gift to be together safely. I am sure my kids are ready to get back to socializing with their friends though.

    It has been so much fun vacationing with you (via your pics). Looks like you’ve had a great time. I bet your Peloton bike has missed you, though. Safe travels and many thanks for your valued friendship <3

    So glad that you were able to enjoy your family in such a beautiful place. It’s been such a hard year so being able to get away is definitely a good thing! Hope your travel back home is seamless – have a good weekend!

    How nice that you got to get away to some sea and sunshine ( especially this time of year). But I agree with you, it is always nice to get back home! -M
