whoa, i cannot believe that i have finished peak mileage leading up to the chicago marathon - completing 20 miles this past weekend. and let me tell you, it was NOT easy! i was so nervous going into this run. literally every doubt you can think of, i thought of it..."could i do it, i …
track shack season is here
woohoo, we have officially kicked off the track shack running series! i can't believe the first race is already over. but holy smokes, the orlando running community came out in full force yesterday morning - truly embracing the theme of the race "celebration of running." it's always so fun to see old friends and meet …
a northern ireland adventure
sorry it’s been a few days since i’ve posted. it's been a bit of a hectic week. but hey i definitely can't complain especially since i was recently over in belfast, ireland. now even though it was for a quick business trip - spanning just a few days - that didn't stop me from venturing …
18 miles, but who’s counting right?
holy smokes...18 miles is no joke everyone! i can't believe that i have officially hit the 18 mark with my training. that just means the chicago marathon is getting closer and closer. only one more "long" run to go, the 20+ miler?! thankfully i don't have to think about that run for another couple weeks …
under 70 days, what?!
under 70 days until the chicago marathon! i swear, i blink and we are 10+ days closer. thankfully, i've gotten out of my mental training slump - and yesterday i was able to get 7 more miles under my belt. i think having a mini vacation in the middle of training definitely helped with getting …
our first #hgv staycation
i can't believe that it's already been a week since our first #hgv vacation (staycation). isn't it so true that vacations just go by way too quickly? however although that is the case, i am extremely glad that we were still able to get away - even if it was for a quick three-day weekend. …
80 days and counting…
i can't believe we are less than 3 months away from the chicago marathon. it seems like yesterday when i was signing up for the race and now it's almost here. and while training has been going quite well, i've definitely hit a bit of a mental slump. and i know this is probably normal …
staycation essentials
with our first #hgv staycation coming up, it always makes me start to think about what i am going to pack. now, i am a typical planner and tend to pack a bit earlier than i need to, but it has made me start thinking about our "staycation essentials." we've staycationed quite a bit over …
red, white and rosé
happy red, white and rosé?! yesterday was the fourth of july, and naturally we celebrated in typical fashion...with wine! i love this time of the year - sweet summertime, relaxing with friends and it's honestly the perfect time for a nice refreshing rosé. i hadn't really been a huge rosé drinker until just recently, especially after understanding …
sunday runday
95 days and counting... i can't believe that we are officially under the 100 day mark until the chicago marathon. the time to train just seems to be flying by so quickly. but thankfully (somehow), i have stayed true to my training plans. that's what i've found to be most important - getting out on …
