My FAVORITE pic of me and friend, Sara, running the Disney World Marathon (who, btw, I never would have met without my weird;) This January will make my FIFTH Disney World Marathon Weekend. It’s actually kind of difficult for me to wrap my brain around and I have to be honest, I’m not exactly sure […]
Marathon Journal – Week One – Let the Training Begin! And Happy Birthday Skirt Sports!
My trial today. 58 degrees and just gorgeous! So Thankful! Each Saturday, as I train for the Walt Disney World Marathon following Hal Higdon’s Marathon Novice 2 training program, I hope to post an overview of the week. This is just the kind of real life info I ate up when I was training for […]

Review – Vega Pre-Workout Energizer
I was given free product but no compensation by the great people at Vega Sport. All opinions are my own:). “Sweaty Selfie” after 6.5 miles in 80 percent humidity! Most of the time, I am an early morning runner. In the summer in Texas, those mornings are even earlier because I want as much time […]
Marathon Training Mistakes and How I’m Avoiding Them This Time
Thank you to my friends at FlipBelt for posting this pic on their FB wall! I am slowly gearing up my mileage for my 4th marathon (WDW Marathon, January 11, 2015). Having done this several times now, I know how it will go. I’m actually pretty predictable – both the good and the bad of […]
