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 …
blind tasting with a master somm
man, i just realized i never had the chance to recap "national rosé day." i mean, being wine lovers, we naturally celebrated a day dedicated to all things rosé by attending an event at wine bar george, one of the newest locations at disney springs?! now, we honestly had no clue what to expect walking into …
chicago training begins…
i cannot believe that my chicago marathon training has officially begun. yesterday i had my first long run to kick off my summer long training for my very first marathon. it has become a lot more real that i am actually going to be running 26.2 miles. but alas, there is no turning back now. …
it’s a disney dream
the vacation blues have officially kicked in. who am i kidding, the vacation blues kicked in right after we walked off the boat. we had the most wonderful vacation this past weekend on the disney dream for a quick weekend getaway sailing. and it was the perfect way to celebrate keith's birthday. the thing i …
vacation rosés?
we are back on land and still wishing that we were cruising away on the disney dream. i swear those weekend cruises go by so darn quickly. and yep, you read that title right...we have the vacation rosés, my take on vacation blues - but wine style. as i mentioned in some of my posts …
