This past week was a tough week. As you may be able to tell by the fact that I didn’t finish the training until Monday, when I should’ve been done on Saturday. Better late than never though, I guess. On Tuesday I went for a run in Valley Forge, and I picked a different part […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training – 17 weeks to go!
Only two weeks after the Tower of Terror 10 miler, and it’s time to start training for the Glass Slipper Challenge, happening in February! The Challenge involves running the Enchanted 10k on Saturday, followed by the Princess Half Marathon on Sunday. It’s a big goal, but I’m excited for it! And what better way to […]
Tower of Terror 10 miler 2014 recap
On October 4th I got to run in my longest race so far, The Tower of Terror 10 miler. It was an evening race, so while I was in the Magic Kingdom for about two hours in the morning, I spent the afternoon napping and resting up. I grabbed a pasta dinner at the Grand […]
ToT 10 miler training: 1 week to go!!
Actually, in less than a week I will be running the 10 miler! I’m so pumped and ready for it, but I’ll admit I’m a little bit nervous too. It will be my farthest “official” 10 mile run. Plus, it’s at night, and although I’ve been running in the evening to prepare my body, I […]
Runner’s Guide: Fitletic Hydration Belt
When I’m running long distances, there are a couple of things I definitely need. Two of them include some sort of belt or way to carry my items, and water. Water is essential for my running and I’ve found that my body needs a lot of it, and often when I run. Some people are […]
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 […]
Things to Carry with you When you Run
When I first started running, this was one of the biggest questions on my mind: what on earth do I “need” when I go running, and what should I carry with me? Through training and experimentation I’ve discovered what works best for me. This, of course, will vary for everyone based on multiple factors: […]
ToT 10 miler training: 3 weeks to go
This week was one of my “easier” weeks since I didn’t have a long run… which was good, because I was busy and I know next week is going to be really tough! Although it was all shorter runs this week I was really happy with how they went. I’m running a 5k next weekend […]
ToT 10 miler training: 4 weeks to go
It’s officially 25 days until I’m in Disney World, and 27 until I run the Tower of Terror 10 miler! I’m getting very excited about it. My running shoes are getting a bit worn, so I’ll be buying new ones after the race. Then training will start for the Princess Half Marathon – well, the […]
ToT 10 miler training: 5 weeks!
I’m a little late in getting my post up about the past week, but better late than never, right? I’m glad that I was able to get all my runs in this past week, because we were on vacation Wednesday-Monday! But I managed to squeeze in two runs while we were away. One in the […]
