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 …
The folks at Special K sent me some cool stuff. I mean really, really cool stuff. YAY for fun packages!! A yoga mat, an iTunes gift card, a great water bottle, some fun hair ties from Knotties, EOS lip balm AND great snack bars? YES PLEASE!!!! Coincidentally, it all came right before Christmas, so I’m …

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.

I got my second Stitch Fix today!! I loved everything I got the first time around, and couldn’t wait for this shipment to get here. I set up for an every other month delivery and I think that’s about right for me. I’m not exactly a clothes horse and prefer to have a few pieces …
