Like a lot of women who are my age (42) or older, I decided who I was very early in my life. Softball? No. Ballet? Yes. Jeans? No. Dresses with puffed sleeves? Yes. Playing outside? No. Playing with Barbies in the house? Yes. I don’t know who taught us we had to choose. I don’t …
Maybe I should have titled this five reasons why you should complete all your scheduled runs this week since not all of us run on Monday, but I needed a bit of motivation. I have an early meeting on Mondays and typically have to run Monday afternoon so making sure I actually do it can …
So over on the FB page, I asked the amazing running peeps who are on there what are their “must have” items?

For the first installment from WDW Marathon Weekend, head here. Our alarm went off at 2am, to begin with. (sorry, subtle homage to Dickens there;). I have to get up several hours before a race start so I can eat and get things moving (I won’t say more than that but my stomach is one …
I originally posted this last year but thought some of you might want to read it as you prepare for this year! You can find part 2 here and part 3 here. Enjoy! I love all the Disney races for different reasons, but Marathon Weekend will always have a special place in my heart as …
