It’s finally race day! I was actually quite pleased with my night’s sleep. I know some don’t sleep AT ALL the night before a race, and that makes sense since that wake-up call is coming at 2:30 am and pre-race nerves are notorious sleep robbers. But I woke up ready to get this thing done! …
After a fairly good night’s sleep, we were awoken by the cheering coming from directly below our room for the 10K!! Such an amazing way to wake up! It was absolutely freezing (mid 30’s with wind) and I felt so sorry for the runners, but they honestly seemed to be having a great time:). I …
Well, as I sit here snuggling with my dog, having taken my Tamiflu and obeying doctor’s orders to rest, I figure I might as well tell you guys all about the amazing (if somewhat freezing cold) long weekend I just had at Walt Disney World! My travel companion for this trip was my 18 year …

Ahhhh . . . it’s almost here. Can you feel it? That crisp fall air is coming through the window, that pumpkin spice candle is burning strong. You’ve just put on your slippers and cozy sweater to read a book in front of the fire Unless you live in Atlanta, GA, where it’s going to …
Here I am, in week 3 of training for my (fill in the blanknth) half marathon. I can’t give you a number there because I honestly have lost track. At last count I think I was at 14 or 15? Anyway, I’m not new to this thing but I remember when I was new (and …
We have been a family of five, traveling to various vacation destinations, for nearly 20 years. It has always frustrated me that so few hotels can accommodate five people. Well, at least it used to! Over the years, MANY family vacation destinations, including the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, have worked hard to help …
