This normally busy week culminated in probably one of the busiest weekends I've had in a long time. While I feel like I could collapse and that I need a fully body massage, it was all so much fun and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Exciting New Gear I got some exciting new gear … Continue reading Another Stellar Week of Training – This Week in Review
So we have just a few very exciting things happening this week. Isn't it such a nice feeling when a Monday marks the week starting off right rather than trudging painfully into the new week? 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!

While I would have loved to share all of my pre-race thoughts, strategy, and jitters with you, I will be more … Continue reading Happy New 5k PR Day To Me!

For my last few races, I have sort of "coasted" through training in that I have continued to do my usual thing and have enjoyed … Continue reading Let’s Do This! Unveiling My New Training Plan
I will try to keep this short and sweet because life feels like a treadmill set just a hair too fast and I'm struggling to keep up! I really can't complain since I am really truly blessed with the things that keep my life so full but I could use a vacation day from work … Continue reading Last Week In Review
Where to begin? I am still having serious runDisney withdrawal after this weekend! Although it wasn't to be a PR weekend, it was still very magical. Because the Tinker Bell Half Marathon set the bar so high, tough expectations were set.
