Answer: YES! Tonight's Track Workout So, I am intimidated by my speed work at the track every week. I'm pretty much … Continue reading Fun and Excitement This Week PEOPLE!
So, if you live in Central Florida (and potentially beyond), you probably (hopefully?) spent the afternoon hunkering down inside because it was quite a storm! I saw quite a few uprooted trees via people's Facebook posts. SCARY! This is but a continuation of a theme for this week - weather just screwing up the best laid plans. … Continue reading Why Weather? – Week in Review

Since we both worked a full day, we agreed that spending a nice evening … Continue reading Happy (Belated) Valentine’s Day Everyone!
At long last - three weeks later - I am sitting down to write my full recap of the incredible 2013 Tinker Bell Half Marathon.

Right here... It's almost funny that on Tuesday, I was still planning to wake up Wednesday morning for an early pre-work run. Hah!
