Sometimes the toughest part about training for a run is finding the time to fit in all the runs! That’s one of the reasons why I’m a big fan of the Galloway training program. He generally takes it pretty easy on you. Only 2 short runs and 1 long run are required each week. I […]
WDW Marathon training – week 2
We are on week 2 of marathon training! I don’t think I mentioned it last week, but the first week or 2 of training overlapped with another running program I’d been doing. I participated in a “run streak” – I vowed to run every day from Memorial Day to the 4th of July. And I […]
Disney World marathon training – week 1
And so it begins. Even though the marathon is over 6 months away (January 8th), training has begun this week. I follow the Jeff Galloway plan for run training and it served me well for 10ks and halfs, so I figured I’d stick with it for the full. Even though the first week is basically what I’ve […]
ODDyssey half marathon recap
I’ve been trying to keep up with running in preparation for the beginning of marathon training, so I signed up for a half marathon this June, on Sunday the 12th. It was in Philadelphia and called the ODDyssey half marathon. I like races that have something a little unique to them, and this one definitely […]
RunDisney for non-runners
Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Blue Loop. Today we are sharing some tips for your runDisney race. I write a lot about RunDisney events and the training I do. And while I’ve done a number of half marathons now (and a full marathon coming up!), RunDisney doesn’t have to be as intense as I make […]
Run the Vineyards 5k recap
Sometimes (often) the best part of running is what’s waiting at the finish line. It’s usually a medal for longer races, or sometimes it’s just knowing that Jason is there cheering me on and feeling proud of me. But for the 5k I ran this past Sunday, there was wine! One of the perks of […]
Can I be a blogger and a runner and an actor?
I’ve always been a passionate person, and one of the things that I’ve realized is that I’m passionate about a lot of things. I try to do so much in my life and at times it definitely feels overwhelming. Right now I’m trying to balance a number of jobs and hobbies, and I don’t know […]
Hershey 10k 2016 recap
I mostly blog about Disney, but every once in awhile I like to share about one of the other theme parks which is more local to me – Hershey Park! It may not be Disney, but it’s still a lot of fun and an easy day trip from where I live. Plus, they’ve been doing […]
Running in the snow
There are many things I don’t like about winter. The snow is certainly one of them, and we’ve got about 2 feet over here. But even moreso than that, I hate the cold. I can’t run if it’s below about 35 degrees, it’s just unbearable to me. So when I heard we had a day […]
The struggle of buying running shoes
I’m trying not to be upset with myself for not sticking to my training plan. The reason why I couldn’t is because I’m resting up from an injury, basically. And while I know it’s better to recover than to push myself, at this point I’m only a month out from the half marathon and I’m […]
