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 …
officially a marathoner!
oh my goodness you guys, i finished a marathon! i can't believe that i can officially say that i am a marathoner. i never thought this day would come. i won't lie, the journey has been long but honestly so rewarding. between all of the training miles, preparation and nerves leading up to race day …
a lake nona block party
another weekend, another race complete. part of me was extremely nervous for this race, mainly because my main focus was to stay healthy leading up to the chicago marathon next weekend. i seriously cannot believe the marathon is only 7 days away! part of me is like "what was i thinking signing up for a …
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 …
the end of summer…
it's hard to believe that summer has "officially" come to a close - well, i suppose technically not in florida (our state doesn't get the "cool down" memo every year). but labor day has passed and everyone is getting back into the swing of the normal routine. no more summer trips, relaxing on a beach …
and now the tapering begins…
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 …
