On January 20th, 2013, I ran the second annual Tinker Bell Half Marathon.  The morning started off incredibly early, I think around 3am to be exact.  All I have to say is thank goodness everything at Disneyland is within walking distance (such a nice perk compared to Disney World!).  My friend Cait and I made it to the bag check area within fifteen minutes of leaving the hotel.  I forgot to take my iPod out of my checked bag (genius) {Read More}

Okay, so my last post about the new ZOOMA Personal Best program got me thinking about my PERSONAL BEST this past weekend! Heading into the Tink Half on Sunday, I knew I wanted to race UNDER TWO HOURS, a goal that has loomed over my head since my last half in June 2012.  Having run a lot of shorter distance races and a pretty solid run at the Army Ten Miler, I believed that I could have a shiny new personal {Read More}

As I mentioned in a post last week, I was lucky enough to secure a slot at the runDisney Tinker Bell Half Marathon Meet Up event on Friday morning.  I shot out of bed at 4:45am, well before my alarm.  This was probably due to my excitement and the east coast to west coast time difference.  I made my way downstairs and to the meet up location where we all received our runDisney shirts. Introductions were made by runDisney team member Bob Hitchcock.  Special guest introductions included {Read More}

Next month, I plan on running a virtual race for Kyle’s Krusade.  A fellow running blogger, Lisa from RunWiki, is hosting the virtual race to raise funds for 6 year-old Kyle and his family.  Why you ask?  Kyle is fighting Cancer and his family is doing everything they can to financially support his battle. Race Bib Provided by Lisa @ RunWiki As a mother, reading about Kyle’s fight puts a pit in my stomach.  I know that if I were {Read More}

A few weeks ago I received the Liebster Award from We Run Disneyand Running on Candy! And that also reminded me that I received the Liebster award from Run Find Your Happy Pace a super long time ago and never posted my answers!  Sorry RFYHP!  So, what is the Liebster Award you ask?  Well, Liebster is German for “dearest” and this award it given to fellow bloggers with less than 200 followers as a way to spread the “new blogger” {Read More}

The beginning of the week was rough for me.  I am still trying to get in the swing of having a job and a schedule and more on my plate.  Hopefully I will get into the swing and hit a routine sooner rather than later! THURS:  3 Miles on the Treadmill (27:50/9:16) FRI: 3 Miles on the Treadmill (27:49/9:16) SAT:  8 Miles (1:12:34/9:04) Love that my Oiselle longsleeve matched my Brooks Pure Connects! Sunday just felt good.  The weather was amazing {Read More}

For runDisney lovers, getting into a pre-race meet-up is a big deal! I know some of you are probably thinking, what is a runDisney meet-up?  Well, the meet-ups most often occur the Friday morning of race weekend.  You are typically provided with an opportunity to run through one of the Disney parks, before they are open, with the runDisney team folks and some special guests!  The short run is then follow by a light breakfast and a Q&A session with {Read More}

After a less than stellar month of running in December, I am slowly getting back into the groove.  Last week looked like this… MON:  4.14 Miles (40:17/9:43) The hubby and I finished up 2012 in Charleston, South Carolina.  We went on a sight-seeing run and it was absolutely beautiful.  Definitely a great way to see a new city! SAT:  4 Miles (37:20/9:19) SUN:  3 Miles (27:00/9:00)  Felt great until I rolled my ankle on a rock about a tenth of {Read More}
