After finally writing my WDW Marathon recap (which was pretty sad, sorry guys) I decided to take a look at the calendar. I've got 2 races coming up faster than I thought! Hurray, bring on training again 😋 Cherry Blossom 10 Miler I've got just under 11 weeks until this race. I have a big …

I've driven 13 hours in the last 2 days by myself. I am not a talk radio, audiobook, podcast type person. I get bored easily. I broke this rule after I realized my 4 hour drive today was going to be at least 6, when I listened to a few Another Mother Runner podcasts. Karen …

I'm writing this in the last hour of a 5 hour flight from Philly to Phoenix to meet up with the Cookies and run my 4th half for the year. This, in and of itself, should have been inspiration for at least a few blog posts, but as soon as I got into my seat, …

I enjoyed some delicious, but not the healthiest, meals. I finished my 6th half marathon in some crazy heat …
What kind of person wakes up easily when the alarm goes off at 3:30 on a Sunday morning 3 days into a vacation? This girl! I expected to either not sleep or not want to get up when my alarm went off, but to my surprise, I slept well and was ready to get up …

Any moment I'm expecting the sky to fall on top of me, wait no, I'm expecting my apartment building to collapse on top of me. Why, you ask? Because life is really good right now. I assume things cannot continue to go this well, its a character flaw. So what's been going so well? On …
