This morning was a step down week in my training plan. What is a step down week? In a nutshell, you run less after running more. Last week’s long run was 5 miles and next week is 6.5, but today was just 3. JUST THREE MILES. So I leave for my 3 mile run, it’s …
I haven’t written in literally weeks and I can’t really give you a solid answer as to why. It’s not just writer’s block (I’ve had that and I typically know how to address it) but more of a lack of anything interesting to say. Oh, wait, that may be writer’s block. Huh. I’m in a …
Just returned from an AMAZING weekend at Walt Disney World, playing (mostly) and running (a little) for the Run Disney Star Wars Half The Dark Side race and we had an AMAZING TIME! The parks were a little more crowded then last year but I think that’s because it was the Sunday after Easter so …

I was trying to add up how many Run Disney Walt Disney World Marathon Weekends I’ve participated in and I THINK it’s 6. I’ve missed the last two and have felt serious FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). So much so, that just today I pulled the trigger on my early entry option through Disney Vacation …
On the Facebook page yesterday, I asked what I should write about this weekend. I wanted it to be running related, but wasn’t sure what direction to go. Laura (hi, Laura!) asked if I would write about burnout at the end of a long training cycle. Since I get this EVERY TIME I train for …
