Enjoying an Adult Beverage in the UK at Epcot We just walked in the door from five days at Walt Disney World! No running this time – just fun with my twin 13 year old’s. At Hollywood Studios! Scott and Jack stayed home so this was just a mom and twins trip to get out […]
End Of Week One! I Like This Running Coach Thing!
So I talked last week about starting to work with a running coach, and Natalie has been awesome! She’s going to be more of a “virtual coach” which consists of emailing me my training plans, texting me words of amazing encouragement and holding me accountable to the plan, rather than standing on the side of […]

Flip Belt Review!!
This post will be short and sweet, but I just got back from my first run with my new FlipBelt and I LOVE IT!! Seriously love it. My friend, Lynda, had first mentioned it on FB and I was instantly intrigued. The belt I’ve used for years is OK but really didn’t hold enough for […]

De-Coding the Mystery of Runner’s Car Stickers AND Princess Glass Slipper Challenge!!
