for probably only a few days, but hey?! i will take it. and with cooler temperatures FINALLY comes running in cooler weather. it's about time. it's amazing how big of a difference 20 degrees makes during a run - if only every day was like this. and while i didn't plan a very long run, …
tuscany tuesday
family dinner resumes! after a ton of travel and crazy work weeks, a fun night with our crew was definitely a must. and last night, we decided to make one of our favorites that reminds us of cooler weather. fitting since we are supposed to get "fall" weather in the sunshine state this week. can …

salute: part 2
the journey through tuscany continues...and let me tell you, just WOW! the next wine we tried was absolutely incredible. the perfect amount of flavor and it had an incredible finish with persistent tannins (in my opinion the best finish to a wine). but which wine am i talking about? none other than the cerbaie 2012 …

lake nona 5k
another weekend, another race is complete. and man, i was a little bit nervous for this one. even though it was just a 5k race, after not really running on vacation i didn't really know how well the run would be. granted 80+ miles of walking on vacation still probably counts as a little bit …
dublin: top 5
wow, what an incredible trip. i am so sad that our vacation is already over, but alas it is and back to the normal routine. however, although the trip is over it doesn't mean that i have forgotten all of the amazing places we visited on our trip. so with that, i am giving you …
an irish adventure
sorry it's been a few days since i've posted. it's been quite a fun and wonderful adventure the past couple days with flying over to ireland and then taking a grand driving tour around the southern part of the country. now granted, we definitely haven't seen everything this beautiful country has to offer - but …
we will rock you
and the battle of the bands 5k is now over. it's always so surprising to me how sometimes it can seem like you are waiting forever for an event, and then poof it's done. that's how i always feel about running races, well aside from half marathons, i can definitely feel the duration time during …
