While I was away in Italy some changes to the runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon were announced. Wine & Dine was my very first race EVER in 2011 and I’ve run it each year since… …and in 2015 (despite all the weather delay craziness!) I was able to share it with Jason for the … Continue reading
I just wanted to post a quick update since the last I shared on the Goofy Challenge was my concerns about my knee pain and not being sure if I could finish (or even start!) these races. Well, if you don’t follow me on social media – I DID IT! Somehow my knee held up … Continue reading
I went for a run this morning. It didn’t go well. My last run was 6 miles this past Saturday. I walked crying from mile 4.5-6 because the pain in my knee was so bad. After several days of rest, foam rolling and icing I decided to go on a short test run this morning … Continue reading
So this is an interesting recap…the half marathon that wasn’t a half marathon! Before the Race With a scheduled 10pm start, Jason and I spent much of the afternoon of race day resting in our room. We grabbed a snack around 5pm and got ready to get on a bus for 7:15pm. We had been keeping an … Continue reading
If you’ve been around Live Run Grow for awhile, you probably know that the runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon was my first race EVER and that I sort of consider it an anniversary.

The event was held under a large outdoor tent at the ESPN Wide World of Sports, it was a great spot, except for it was FREEZING … Continue reading
While I’m working on my recap of the New York City Marathon I figured I’d take a minute to address my next race, the runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon THIS WEEKEND (it really snuck up on me this year!). I have to admit I REALLY love this race and this will be my 4th … Continue reading
First things first – a HUGE thank you to everyone who commented on yesterday’s post about Jason and I moving to Cape Cod. I can’t tell you how much the encouraging and supportive words about such a big decision mean! So, between packing to move I’ve also been packing to head out to California for Disneyland … Continue reading
Our quick Walt Disney trip went by way too quickly (as most Disney trips do!), but we had a great time and I thought I’d share some pictures of our weekend! Unfortunately our flight leaving NY was delayed several hours due to weather so we ended up not being able to make it to our … Continue reading
First of all, my apologies for disappearing after my venting post earlier this week, but I’ve been busy (and frustrated!) dealing with some school stuff, my spring allergies decided to kick in full force, and to be honest I just didn’t feel like writing (or you probably would have gotten another post of me venting!). This … Continue reading
