wow, i can't believe it's already 2019. did anyone else think that 2018 flew right on by? there were some incredible things that happened last year...from running my first (probably only) marathon to seeing hamilton, and of course my favorite, getting engaged! it seriously was a whirlwind of a year, and i know this year …
traveling through the world of wine
finally, our summer hold with "the grand tour" by verve wine is finally over. while i definitely missed our wine shipments each month over the summer, it was definitely worth the wait to ensure our wine arrived in tip top condition. and bonus, it literally felt like christmas in october! and we definitely kicked off …
a rockin’ morning
i can't believe the second race of the track shack series is already over?! this year is just flying right on by, which means my first marathon is that much closer (less than 20 days away)! hard to believe. but this past weekend's race was a blast - i always love the battle of the …
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 …
