well, it's officially summertime here in florida - but in all honesty, weather wise it's definitely been summer for quite some time. and with summer comes one of my favorite running series - the rundisney virtual running series. i love virtual races because you can complete each race on your own time...definitely a bonus with …
another day, another #starwarshalf
i can't believe that my 4th star wars half marathon is now under my belt. and like always, this race was incredible - especially for a star wars nerd like me. i mean combining running and star wars, how could it get any better? now, like many of my other races this year - i …
do you #run4love?
happy three year bloggiversary to me (well, a day late)! i seriously cannot believe that i started this blog three years ago - and whether this is the first post you're reading or you've been on my blog before - thank you for visiting! this has been quite a fun journey and i can't wait …
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 …
and now the tapering begins…

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 …
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 …
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 …
