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

runDisney – What to Pack
After doing so many runDisney race trips I feel like I’ve finally perfected my race packing list! A few years ago I wrote out my go-to packing list and trip after trip I keep pulling out this crumpled piece of paper when it’s time to pack. So, I (finally!) thought – why not share the list … Continue reading
Running For a Cause
If you’ve been following along on my running journey for awhile now you may know that I’ve chosen to run in support of different charities several times over the past few years, in fact, the whole reason I began running was to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in memory of my friend Kerry.

Race Recap – 2015 Hartford Marathon

We literally could not have asked for better weather (clear skies and mid 50’s!), the entire event was well organized and best of all, I got to run my husband’s first marathon with him in his hometown – overall I’d say the race was a huge success!

We’ll be staying at my moms house which is about half an hour away from downtown Hartford and we’ll hopefully get to see some friends … Continue reading

So, how has this cycle of marathon training gone? MEH. Honestly, not great, but could have been worse. Unfortunately I struggled with a few things this summer: humidity, … Continue reading
Watch a Marathon.

I’m not sure that I have a point, but hopefully this experience will resonate with some of you… This year once I crossed the finish line of the Walt Disney World Marathon I walked back into Epcot to meet Jason and … Continue reading
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend: Cigna Blogger Cook-Off
A few weeks before Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend I received an e-mail from Cigna, the Marathon Weekend sponsor, inviting me to a blogger event they were hosting…a cook-off! 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
Weekly Training Recap & February Plank-a-Day!
I have to admit that I’ve never been very good at doing any sort of strength training and I’d really like to change that. Even just a little bit each day can really add up which is why I’ve decided I’m going to challenge myself to do a plank-a-day for February! I’m usually not very … Continue reading
