This was actually my first time running a Disney 5k! I’d only ever done 10k’s and half marathons, plus the one full marathon. It was definitely a different sort of experience, I don’t really feel the need to do a Disney 5k ever again. But for the Dopey Challenge it was the start of a […]
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 […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: Week 6
This week was a great week for running! I only got two runs in this week instead of 3, but they were both excellent. Skipping one shorter run won’t ruin my training, and I was still recovering from my foot hurting (by the way, the new shoes are great so far – I haven’t had […]

Wines and Vines 5k recap! (And 16 weeks til the DL Half)
Since I participated in a race this past week as part of my training, I decided to do a little recap of that in addition to my weekly update! So last Sunday I had the opportunity to run the Wines and Vines 5k at the Penns Woods Winery. It started at 9am. The weather was […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 10 weeks to go
So this week was my first week with a back to back training run. It was just a 1 mile on Friday and it was supposed to be 7 on Saturday… but I was signed up for a 5k so I only did 3.1! I may try to do 7 next weekend instead of 4 […]
ToT 10 miler training: 2 weeks left
We are only two weeks left, and it was quite a week of running! I was signed up for a 5k on Saturday, so I decided to do my long run during the week, on Wednesday. I tried my best to do everything I could to mimic race conditions, since it’s the last long run […]
