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
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
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
After doing so many runDisney race trips I feel like I’ve finally perfected my race packing list!

Back in 2011 I went from being a total non-runner to choosing this race as my goal while fundraising in memory of my … Continue reading
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
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
