I originally published this a couple of years ago. But when I saw today’s topic for Tuesday’s On The Run, I knew it needed a rerun. Because every word of this is still very true! Check out all the other great bloggers!! A letter to the me that started out on her very first “real” …
Me at my first half marathon. I was a newbie once, too. I love newbies! Yes. That is a very long title. But here’s the thing: we don’t mean to, we don’t do it on purpose, but us runners (yes, I’m talking to YOU) tend to use words that we assume other people understand and …
So did you see it? The numbers just came out for WDW Marathon Weekend 2015. Here’s the link where you can find them but suffice it to say IT’S A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY and if you’re really nuts and want to go Dopey this year? Yeah, that’s gonna set you back $530. And that’s …

I’ve decided to check a bag which makes packing somewhat more complicated. I will still put my gear for both races in my carry on – can’t risk the airline loosing my sparkle skirt …
By any accounts, I have what one might call a “serious” profession. I have many friends who are in my same line of work who have “serious” blogs. I could name drop but I won’t;). I respect them, I love their work, and I read their blogs because they challenge me and help me as …
Today’s 10 miler was tough. Really really tough. This is not me. I pulled this off the internet. Thank you internet. I can blame a whole lot of things. Having the flu a week ago and missing 8 days of training is the main culprit. But I know many of us are having serious, how …
