A plethora of Nor'easters hit the east coast this year, bringing lots of snow, wind, and rain along with it. We weren’t sure what kind of scenery Mother Nature would give us at the 2018 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run last weekend, but lo and behold she actually delivered. Despite the chilly temps... Continue Reading →
WDW Wine and Dine Race Recap
We came. We saw. We ran. (And did some wining and dining, of course) The 2017 Run Disney Wine and Dine races at Walt Disney World were truly a feast. Not only was this the first time we were running the Wine and Dine races (we did the two-course challenge), but it was also our... Continue Reading →
Summertime and the Runnin’ Ain’t Easy
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.

Race Recap: the 2016 Disneyland Half Marathon
#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 →
Race Recap: The Disneyland 10K
#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 →
