The Life and Style of a Mother Runner with Scoliosis
The sun rose slowly over a vast deserted parking lot, its rays timidly peeking through stoic willow trees whose branches dangled quietly amidst the early morning revelry. Humidity cloaked hundreds of runners as they shuffled along the road, their breath ever so slightly visible in the chill of the morning’s air. Just beyond the incline... Continue Reading →
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...

#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 haven't quite been the documentarians we were during #WDWNatConTraining for the Disney World Half Marathon this past January, but we're working on... Continue Reading →
The last time we wrote about running was way back in January following our first-ever half marathon at Walt Disney World (read about it here: Post-WDW Half Marathon Thoughts) and we teased about not quite knowing what race to do next...well, that day has arrived, my friends! Connor and I will be running the Disneyland Dumbo Double... Continue Reading →
Now that we've returned from the happiest place on earth and (I think) recovered from our first half marathon, we wanted to share the excitement and experience of race day and what we learned. First of all...we did it! And we completed the race in under three hours, which was our goal (not too shabby... Continue Reading →
