Over 2 weeks have passed since this race, which means hopefully I can share a brief recap without feeling frustrated and upset. This hands down was one of my worst race experiences and without a doubt really had me questioning running and my thoughts/ feelings on runner vs. yogi mentality. First of all, my #1 … Continue reading

Thoughts on Wine & Dine 2016
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
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
Trip Planning – A Race Abroad?
Seeing as that this blog is primarily about running and I’m assuming mostly read by runners, there’s a good chance that many of you reading have planned a trip or vacation around running a race. Well, I have to admit, when I began thinking about planning a trip to Italy in March over my break from … Continue reading
Race Recap – 2015 Wine & Dine Half (of a Half) Marathon
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.

A Weekend with Potential for Epic-ness!
Ok, let’s get one thing out of the way now… …this weekend has the potential to be EPIC! Second, please excuse the horrendous quality of some (most) of the photos in this post – the lighting is terrible when I take pictures inside at night! On Saturday my friend Meredith are heading to the Cape … Continue reading
Race Recap – Johnny Kelley Half Marathon
It’s been awhile since I’ve written a race recap – this is only my 3rd race of 2015 and the other two were back in January (Goofy Challenge!). Jason and I have been on the lookout for a local half marathon to run since he ran his first in January at Walt Disney World Marathon … Continue reading
Thoughts on the New York City Marathon
In the weeks since the New York City Marathon I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my feeling on the whole experience. Yes, it’s THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON, the largest marathon in the WORLD, and I am incredibly fortunate to have been able to run it, but as many of you know, I was … Continue reading
RACE RECAP – Heartbreak Hill 10k
I’ve always wanted to run a race in the Boston area, so when the Runner’s World Heartbreak Hill Half event was announced awhile back it was definitely one I was interested in. Unfortunately I hate making plans in May/ June since Jason’s schedule is so unpredictable this time of year so I never registered. When I … Continue reading
