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” […]
Of Fartleks, and Negative Splits and PR’s and other words that make no sense to new runners
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 […]
How to Save Money when you Run Disney!
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 […]
Tuesday This and That – Treadmill Review, Ash Wednesday and Lent (weird, right?)
So nothing too exciting to report this week. Well, that’s not entirely true. We had a new member of our family delivered on Friday and she’s fitting in great! Ladies and Gents – I would like to introduce you to our new treadmill, Captain Janeway! She’s a Horizon T303 and so far she’s a dream. […]

Tuesday This and That on Monday – IT’S ALMOST TIME! Princess Half Prep
That’s me winning! Just kidding. I haven’t actually started packing just sort of setting things aside so I don’t forget them. 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 […]
Isn’t all This Run Disney Princess Stuff Kind of Silly?
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 […]
