0222151510a

So I'm in the middle of training for the New Jersey Marathon, and I know I suck at sharing my weekly training logs. I have the best intentions, I swear! But I thought I'd at least drop in with an update on how things are going so far. The first few weeks were pretty uneventful. I had done a bit … [Read more...]

Why I Heart the Princess Half Marathon

So, unfortunately, I'm not going to running the Princess Half Marathon this weekend. I tackled both the Dopey Challenge and the Glass Slipper Challenge back-to-back last year, and, well...let's just say it's not something I can pull off every year, financially speaking. Still can't control myself at … [Read more...]

What better time to (finally) write my Walt Disney World Marathon recap than in the middle of a blizzard? (Okay, fine, so we didn't actually get a blizzard this time. But there's still some snow out there!) After the previous morning's half marathon (my recap can be found here, in case you missed … [Read more...]

Okay, so I'm back with a recap of my first leg of the Goofy Challenge: the Walt Disney World Half Marathon! After spending Thursday at Universal Studios (Todd insisted...BOO) and Friday at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, that 3:30am wake-up call on Saturday wasn't easy. But I was dressed as … [Read more...]

Hey, guys! So I'm suffering real, real bad from my usual bout of post-Disney depression, and figured there's no better way to combat it than by planning my next trip writing my Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend recaps! As always, I'll start with a quick look at the expo, and then share some … [Read more...]

Hey, all! So we just got back from The World late last night, and I wanted to drop in to announce that Todd and I both successfully ran the Walt Disney World Marathon! And, that I completed the Goofy Challenge! I finished the half in 3:15 -- slightly faster than my usual Disney half marathon … [Read more...]

Hey, guys! So I'm writing this from the airport -- which is a lot more exciting to me than it probably should be. :) Before we get on the plane to my most favorite place in the world -- WALT DISNEY WORLD! -- I wanted to share this weekend's costumes! Which, of course, were once again made by … [Read more...]

Spectating the Philadelphia Marathon

phillybloogermeetup2

Hey guys! This weekend, Todd and I were in Philadelphia so he could take on his second 26.2: the Philadelphia Marathon! Since I'm still mentally recovering from the New York City Marathon, I chose to be a lazy bum and not run this race -- or even the half. That meant I got to experience being a … [Read more...]
