well, i'm going to be a track shack fanatic for a second year - AND for the 40th anniversary of the race series. i decided to bite the bullet and sign up early - literally two days after this season was completed. what can i say, i guess i like to have my running schedule planned …
argh mates – #gasparillahalf recap
ahoy runners! whoa, i cannot believe that gasparilla half marathon is over already - well my body is quickly reminding me that i ran 13.1 today. and wow, was i nervous for this race. as most of you have read throughout this journey, i really wanted to get an official PR this year. so i …
the final stretch
"your only limit is you." it's the final stretch. and with my final training run complete before running gasparilla half marathon, it's now all a waiting game. sometimes that's the worst part - because at this point (at least for me), i know that i can't really do anything more to be prepared for this …
all about momentum
i recently came across momentum jewelry as i was browsing through instagram. honestly, i feel like now-a-days that's how most of us find great items and ideas - through social media outlets. whether it's a recommendation or something that catches your eye, we can count on the social universe to introduce us to new things. and …
t-6 days to #gasparillahalf
well, we are less than a week from gasparilla half marathon. i cannot believe that the time was flown by as quickly as it has. and more surprising, i cannot believe that this is going to be my third half marathon in two months, whoa?! now as most of you have read, this is the …
why do i run?
"a 12 minute mile is just as far as a 6 minute mile." i recently saw this quote and it could not be more true. leading up to gasparilla, i've been so focused on training within my goal range as ultimately i'd love to "officially" PR in this race, and sometimes i lose sight that it's …
journey to gasparilla half
and the journey to my third half marathon within two months begins. with my beat up knees, i always like to take a little more time to recovery from my half marathons - yes, four knee surgeries will do that to you - with saturday being my first run since celebration half. and am i …
celebration half
well, half marathon number 2 in the books for 2017. hard to believe that come february, i will already be over half way through my goal for the year. now, with that being said, i'm pretty sure i've had the worst luck with weather so far this year - i mean one race getting cancelled, then …
race to celebrate
well, just like that - i am a week and a half away from my second half marathon the year. sometimes i think i was extremely brilliant for planning all of these races back-to-back (i mean, built in training) and then other times where i think i was completely insane. oh the runner's brain. i …
#00quack results
so as most of you may know (especially either in the running or orlando community) - disney had to cancel their 20th anniversary of the #wdwhalf this past weekend. and yes, i was one of those runners who solely signed up for that race. and while it definitely was disappointing at first, being from orlando …
