Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
We may not have woken up in the city that doesn't sleep, but we sure ran through it on little sleep...does that count? 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 →
#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 →
This is not a drill people. Connor and I are in the home stretch of the epic Dumbo Double Dare #NatConTraining cycle. Awww, yeah!!! This past Sunday, we each did our last long runs in our respective cities and both rocked it! On tap for me: 11.5 miles. I ran it all without music (though... Continue Reading →
The countdown begins... After I finished my long run on Sunday, a thought came into my head. Ok, there are often many, many thoughts and conversations roaming around my head at one time (#introvertproblems), but there was one in particular that came in loud and clear: "girl, there's only one more long training run left!" My first reaction:... Continue Reading →
Sometimes even the best laid plans get bamboozled. I was supposed to be in Wisconsin this weekend but between multiple canceled flights and running around Newark airport like a tired lunatic at an ungodly hour of the morning (yup, that was me in the Packer hat), I pushed my entire travel itinerary to next week....

Our Dumbo Double Dare #NatConTraining is in full swing and Saturday's 8 mile run concluded week 7. That's right, we are already on week 7 of 19! Time flys when you're having fun (running). 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 →
