Tough Chik Ragnar Napa

Thanks to the Friday Five link-up with Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney, I’m offering five races you need to experience!

I’m back after a whirlwind weekend at Walt Disney World! I’m so thankful for the weekend of warm weather with my family. But, now, it’s back to the the work grind and some freezing weather.

Peaks and Valleys:  Adventures in Training Weeks 5, 6 & 7

It’s time for me to share Peaks and Valleys: Adventures in Training Week 5, 6 & 7, my third series of training logs from 2015. This recap is definitely delayed as I intended to have this posted on February 9th! Whoops. So, now instead of a two-week recap, you have a glance at three weeks thanks to being terribly, horribly sick starting on February 2nd. There was zero running from me happening. And last week, I was finally able to slowly add miles back in. {Read More}

After having a bit of running trouble and a lack of on-call coverage at work, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it to the starting line of the 2014 Beach to Beacon 10k.

A runDisney Magical Weekend

Magical

I am so ready for a magical weekend in Walt Disney World! These past few weeks were filled with a lot of work and work travel to Texas. I am definitely ready for a mini vacation and some relaxation. I have to admit that I’m still not completely unpacked from my work trip and I don’t have any race costumes planned. Tonight, when I get home from work, I have a feeling I will feel a bit frenzied with packing up my running gear {Read More}
