Hi friends!

I hope everyone who traveled to Disneyland for the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend returned home safely and had a magical trip. I’d like to try and make it out there next year! To all my Florida friends, let’s hope this hurricane goes away quickly and with minimal damage.

Race Recap: 2017 B.A.A. 10K

Hi friends & Happy Summer!

I kicked off summer ’17 with the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) 10K, the second event of three events in the B.A.A. Distance Medley. I ran the 5K in April and plan on running the half marathon in October!

For those of you considering a trip to Boston, I highly recommend planning a race weekend around one of these B.A.A. races. People of all ages and abilities are welcome, but as you can imagine it is a fast course, with even faster elites at the front. Some of the best athletes in the world come out for the B.A.A. races and it is so exciting to be in the same field as them. And I’m somewhere in the middle! Here’s my recap:

2016 : A Year In Review and Goals for 2017

Hi friends! I’ve let a month go by since my last post (sorry about that!) but I wanted to end 2016 on a high note. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I sometimes feel like I am barely keeping it together between work, social events and making sure I have a present for each of my loved ones. The only thing keeping me sane this time of year is a good morning run to clear my head! Or evening run if I’ve been particularly busy.

Despite the craziness, this time of year I find myself reflecting on all that I’ve accomplished throughout the year.

2016 Fitness Accomplishments

1. Train and run a half marathon : DONE

My first big race was the 2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon in February. I had set a goal to finish, and to ideally finish the race in under two hours and 30 minutes. I not only finished, my time was 2:26:22. I jumped for joy and signed up for another runDisney race as soon as I could!

Race Recap: 2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend – Presented by MISFIT™

Hi Friends! I’m back from another amazing Walt Disney World trip and runDisney race weekend. Here’s my recap of the 2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend – Presented by MISFIT:

I hastily signed up for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon earlier this spring following my life-changing experience running the 2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon. I found the registration for this race exhilarating and stressful- the half almost sold out before my very eyes! But thankfully I made it in. Because of the inaugural 10K and Lumiere’s Two Course Challenge, I believe runDisney fans wanted to be a part of runDisney history and so the races filled up VERY quickly.
