Thanks to the Friday Five link-up with Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney, I’m offering five races you need to experience! And, don’t worry because I am offering you some races that are still taking registrations and races that you can throw your name in the hat via their lottery systems. Plus, there is a little bit for everyone with a variety of distances! Beach to Beacon 10k: This is hands down one of my favorite races. I love Maine and the execution of {Read More}
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}

On September 29th, Team Harrow came together to celebrate our friend Ben Harrow at the Tunnel to Towers 5k. This event was created to honor the life and death of Stephen Siller and his FDNY brothers and sisters that lost their lives on 9/11. The course followed Siller’s route from the Tunnel to the Towers on that fateful day. For us, it was not only a date to commemorate the victims of 9/11 but to honor the strength and determination {Read More}
This week will be RACE RECAP catch up week on Lisa Runs for Cupcakes! First up, the Gulf Beach Half Marathon! A few weeks before the race, I decided to run the Gulf Beach Half Marathon in Milford, Connecticut, about a half hour from my hometown of Norwalk, CT. This is about an hour and half from where we currently live so after Cora went to sleep, I drove to CT and slept over at my grand-parents house to make {Read More}
