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
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

While I’m getting ready … Continue reading

Dopey training is still going well, I finished up my last “mini-Dopey” training week with back-to-back 3/6/10 & 20 mile runs … Continue reading
