Portia and I became FB friends after I read a bit of her story in Runner’s World and found out she was local. I knew immediately that I wanted her to guest blog for me! Fast forward to the Disney World Marathon where I cheered on many amazing women who ran with Black Girls Run …
Great Bling for ALL RACES Having run the half marathon for this event last year, I was excited to see what improvements would be made this year. Inaugural events, by their very nature, have hick-ups. If you’ve raced for any time at all, you know that and run such an event at your own peril;). …
So, it’s been a busy few months of racing for me. My racing “season” goes from, ideally, November – March. This is because of the Dallas summers which are next to impossible to train in. Mainly because when you run you feel like you are inside the mouth of a dog. It’s hot, it’s incredibly …
A few days ago, I wrote a letter to myself. Not myself now, but the self that headed out on that first, crazy intimidating, totally scary FIRST run. Over on the FB page, I asked other runners to do the same. I hope to post them here on the blog with the hope that they …

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 …
It’s been a week since my dreamy weekend at Disney for the 2014 Princess Half Weekend where I participated in the Glass Slipper Challenge. I know a lot of you dream about this particular race weekend, so instead of a lengthy trip report (and since Beth did such a great overview of the half!) I …
Me and Beth! AKA the author of this post:) I’ve been blessed to call Beth my friend for many years now. She and I have done several races together, most notably the Chicago Marathon where we were roomies:). She graciously offered to write up her experience with the Princess Half this year. I ADORE that …
