Hi everyone! It’s hard to believe 2017 is winding down, but we have so much to look forward to this holiday season, at Disney Parks, and at home with friends and family.

Hi everyone! We’re SEVEN weeks away from the Walt Disney World Marathon! And it’s officially the holiday season. Coming up this week we have Thanksgiving, family obligations, and of course tempting treats at every corner.

Not to fear, friends! We CAN do it all! Now more than ever we need to be strategic about planning for the week and taking things one day at a time. This past week I balanced work and social commitments, and still felt like I had plenty of time to train. Here’s what my week looked like:
