A Retreat Fit For A Princess! Objective Achieved! My bling loot from the weekend:). If you’re waiting for a big review and trip report of the Princess Half and Glass Slipper Challenge, no worries. That should be up by Friday. But I wanted to get my thoughts down about the Race Retreat before I forgot! […]
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 […]
NOT an Easy Run
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 […]

About That Time I got The Best Compliment EVER From Someone On My Team
I just finished the Herculean task of completing year end check ins with my team. I have a love/hate relationship with this process. I love that I get to check in with each member of my team and make sure I really know where they are emotionally, spritually and in their work. I love that […]
Run Your Own Race
I’ve been a runner for a long time now. In fact, I just realized that next month is the 5th anniversary of my very first half marathon. You hear a lot of things all the time as a runner. We have our own vocabulary of encouraging words, mantras and guidelines. One of my favorites is […]
We’re Back! Overview 2014 Disney World Marathon Weekend!
We got back Monday afternoon and I hit the ground running at work, so forgive me for taking so long to check back in. We had a (mostly) great weekend and we’re both still SO GLAD we went because our team for Rally Foundation raised almost $10,000 for childhood cancer research and we have zero […]
