Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
Before summer official leaves us and we say hello to fall (believe me, I am so ready for fall!), I've been reflecting back on this summer: what we did differently from last summer's training and how the particular challenge of the last few months have ultimately made me a smarter, stronger runner. My summer running... Continue Reading →
Beer, festivals, and more beer, oh my! As much as I enjoy my snowy Wisconsin winters, summertime in Milwaukee just can't be beat. I took a quick trip home last weekend to see family and friends, sip some new brews, and of course, take in as much of what the city has to offer as... Continue Reading →
Queens 10K Race Recap What: Queens 10K When: June 16 Where: Flushing Meadows Corona Park Who: Two runners looking for a little redemption After a challenging finish at the United Half Marathon this past March (despite earning our best half marathon time) and bonking the Airbnb Brooklyn Half Marathon just before mile 11 (walked the...

It's Global Running Day! 5AM came rather quickly, but I surprisingly didn't have trouble getting out of bed. Connor and I planned on doing something this morning that we — interestingly — have never done before: run together on a week day before going to work. Anyone I know will tell you that I'm not...

Last Sunday, Connor and I ran our first non-Disney half marathon: the United NYC Half. We see our fair share of NYC given that we live in Jersey and Connor works in... Continue Reading →

It's only been in the last few years (and ironically, since I've been living on the East Coast) that I've grown to like beer.... Continue Reading →
#natalies365photoproject Last year on my birthday (when I turned the big 3-0), I embarked on a year-long journey of taking one photo every day for the entire year. This wasn't my first go-around with a 365 photo project; I did one when I first moved to New Jersey and started it on my 25th birthday.... Continue Reading →
#NatConDisney: The Races, part 2 Where to begin with the Disneyland Half Marathon?! We went into it not really knowing what to expect and, considering we'd just run a 10K the day before, just wanted to finish the race. Well, I'm so proud to say that not only did we finish the race, we also... Continue Reading →
#NatConDisney: The Races, part 1 Where to begin?! So it's been a little over two weeks since we completed our Dumbo Double Dare challenge at Disneyland...we're still beaming about it and can't believe that it not only happened, but it's over already. We had so much fun! Running 19.3 miles over the course of two... Continue Reading →
