I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, but when asked by Tuesdays on The Run about my worst race, I decided to go ahead and repost this one. It’s hard for me to say that any of the races have been bad because even when the whole thing has fallen apart, I’ve learned stuff. …
So this is absolute nutsy bo-bo crazy town, but I’m leaving tomorrow to run the Walt Disney World Marathon, coming home on Monday and then heading out again a week from Friday to Disneyland to run the Star Wars Half. I still can’t believe it’s happening. Ever since I was a little girl and incredibly …
So we are almost to the finish line, literally and figuratively. We are just over one week away from the Walt Disney World Marathon! It’s been a long road filled with lots of hard earned miles and lots of pre-dawn get ups to do long runs in the cold when the rest of the world …

Week 8 was mostly very successful. After unexpectedly running a half marathon last week, I was more sore than I expected, so I took it pretty easy during the week. Got in most of my mileage but not all. We are getting into the weeks of marathon training that can be TOUGH. And I have …
Happy Halloween, Everybody!! For today’s special Halloween Edition of The Friday Five Link Up, I thought I’d discuss the five SCARIEST things that can happen during a half or full marathon. Are you ready?? You may want to play Thriller or Monster Mash in the background to get you in the mood. My family always …
