Growing up I was probably one of the most well-behaved kids you’d ever meet. I always followed the rules and throughout high school I was a goody two-shoes. The idea of doing anything “wrong” made me super nervous – even if it wasn’t something that was actually that bad. I never did anything unexpected. I […]
WDW marathon training – week 22
There’s nothing like following up a big holiday with a 23 mile run! That training run had been on my mind more this holiday than the food or anything else. I knew I’d have to be careful to not overindulge too much so I would be in a good shape to run the next morning. […]
How to dress when running in the cold
This post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Mizuno. All opinions are my own. I won’t lie, I hate the cold. I’d move to Florida if it wasn’t for my job and my friends and family all being here. So when it comes time to do run training in the winter, it’s tough […]
WDW marathon: week 21
Week 21 of marathon training. The marathon is about 1.5 months away. Which also means my Disney trip is in a month and a half. But honestly, I don’t know if I’m excited or nervous to be going this time! I slacked a little bit this week and only did 1 of my short runs […]
WDW marathon training – week 20
We’re two months away from the marathon now! You know it’s getting real when the fastpasses have been made. By the way – coordinating fastpasses for 7 people was a bit of a challenge – but I found it fun! And we got everything we wanted, which was awesome. I am so ready to be […]
WDW marathon training – week 19
This was one busy week for me at work, but I made running a priority despite the craziness! At my library we do a program called Enchanted Library, which is a bunch of skits performed by the middle school students. They take place in different locations around the library and on Friday night we dim […]
WDW marathon training – week 18
It was kind of a weird week of training this week! Almost none of my runs went according to plan – sometimes in a good sense, sometimes in a bad sense. I dealt with weird schedules, pain, new shoes, and the weather, but we got another week done! This week was two short runs and […]
WDW marathon training – week 17
Last week was a big week with a 17 mile run! Literally after finishing the Hershey Half and then doing another 4 miles afterward I got lunch, drove home, took a shower, and then got back into the car for 2 hours to drive up to the Poconos for a work conference. The conference was […]
WDW marathon training – week 16
This was a huge week for me in terms of running. Well, and other things also, since I just started my full time job last Monday! Not only did I do the Hershey half marathon with a pretty big PR, I also ran the furthest distance I’ve ever gone. And actually felt pretty good about […]
Hershey Half Marathon 2016 recap
Although it’s no Disney, Hershey Park holds a special place in my heart. It’s our closest amusement park, being only an hour and a half away. They have great roller coasters, and of course chocolate! And they host a 10k and half marathon every year which for some reason I always do really well on. […]
