Hi all! Sorry I was such a bad blogger last week, the days just sort of escaped me! But since we're starting a new week (and a new month), I figure I'm due for a fresh start, anyway, right? I already got a little bit of a head start on this week's holiday celebrations; my hometown holds their … [Read more...]
Weekly Workouts and My Gold Belt!
Hi all! How was everyone's weekend? This Friday, I was FINALLY promoted to gold belt in Taekwondo -- super exciting! It typically takes me way longer to graduate to the next belt level than it should because my piano teaching schedule makes it hard for me to make more than one class per week. It … [Read more...]
Summer Running
Happy first day of summer, everyone! Speaking of which, I have a confession to make. I kind of, sort of, don't really like running in the summer. There. I said it. Last year, I began my Princess Half training towards the end of the summer, so while I had my fair share of long, sweaty runs, I was … [Read more...]
Weekly Workouts and GLASS SLIPPER CHALLENGE!
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I know I'm the WORST at keeping up with posting my weekly workouts, but here it goes again. First things first...I may or may not have accidentally signed up for the runDisney Glass Slipper Challenge in February 2014! Honestly, I don't even know what I'm … [Read more...]

Running Makes You Stronger. Period.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! The weather kind of sucked here in NJ (except for Monday), but I did get to spend some time in Atlantic City and catch a Third Eye Blind concert...I've been obsessed with them since middle school, and pretty much stalk them every time they come … [Read more...]
RACE RECAP: Runapalooza, Asbury Park Half Marathon
I'm still reeling from last week's events in Boston, but I felt as though the only thing we runners can do to show our unyielding support for the victims and everyone affected by this tragedy -- and a nice big F-U to the [insert expletive of your choice] who did this -- was to just keep running. So … [Read more...]
Spring Goals
It's beginning to look a lot like spring -- although at a chilly 45 degrees today, it certainly doesn't feel like it! -- so I thought I'd post about some of my spring races! My toe (HOPEFULLY) seems to be on the mend...even though I stupidly decided to go for two short runs this week. I have it … [Read more...]
Taking a Leap of Faith
This week, I did something absolutely insane. I still can't believe I did this. On Tuesday morning, I started hearing rumblings of something called "Dumbo Double Dare" on Twitter and the DIS Boards threads I've been frequenting ever since I registered for the Disney Princess Half Marathon. Not … [Read more...]
