What’s Next: Vacation Edition

What’s Next: Vacation Edition

Because Jason works in professional hockey (and I used to) the only time we can really take vacations together is over the summer.  All year long we look forward to those glorious few weeks we get to spend up on Cape Cod! It’s definitely frustrating that we don’t get to escape the cold winters to … Continue reading

What’s Next: Running Edition

Ok, so are you ready for a break from Dopey related posts yet??! I didn’t write any sort of “2014 Goals” post around the New Year because I just felt like my focus was on completing the Dopey Challenge at the time and I didn’t want to look past that to the rest of the … Continue reading

Dopey Challenge: The 10k

Dopey Challenge: The 10k

I have to admit, I was pretty excited about the 10k.  Honestly, for no reason other than it was NEWSIE DAY! The idea for the Newsie costumes came about a few months ago when I text some friends letting them know I was dancing around my moms kitchen to the Newsies music we had just … Continue reading

Dopey Challenge: The Expo & 5k

I can’t believe Dopey weekend has come and gone!  There is just so much to recap, so I’m planning on breaking it down race by race and then I’ll write a separate post with some pros and cons of the weekend and my overall feelings on if I would do the Dopey Challenge again. So, … Continue reading
