Are you ready for a TON of photos?? While this may have been my slowest marathon to date (thanks to my knee!), I may have PR’d in character photos! This was my 5th year in a row running the Walt Disney World Marathon and while I was nervous about how my knee would hold up … Continue reading
Wow these recaps have taken me awhile to write! We stayed in Florida until Wednesday after the races, then when I got home my sister ended up in the hospital for a few days (she’s doing fine now!) and then of course I go and get sick myself (I always do after a marathon!), so … 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

If you’ve been reading Live, Run, Grow for awhile first of all – THANK YOU! Second of all, you probably … Continue reading
So a marathon can seem like an overwhelming feat – I mean it is traveling over 26 miles by foot! One of the best things about the Walt Disney World Marathon is that there is always something to look forward to! No matter what part of the race you’re at, there’s either another park, attraction … Continue reading

This will be my 4th year running at the runDisney Marathon Weekend – my first year I did the marathon (my first!), the second year … Continue reading
