t-1 week to #ouchalf
holy smokes, i can't believe orlando's hometown half marathon is only a week away! this race has definitely snuck up on me, but alas it is almost here. thankfully yesterday, i was able to get in a good 5 mile run to get prepared...and trust me, after the holiday i was extremely impressed that even …
lake nona 5k
another weekend, another race is complete. and man, i was a little bit nervous for this one. even though it was just a 5k race, after not really running on vacation i didn't really know how well the run would be. granted 80+ miles of walking on vacation still probably counts as a little bit …

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 …
lady track shack 5k
it's officially a week away from the celebration half marathon, and the training continues on. and for me, i actually threw in a "race" in the middle of some normal training to support a greater cause. as most of you know, i love orlando local track shack races - and i was extremely bummed when i …

like anyone, starting a new year means settings goals. and for me, in particular, that means more running goals for 2017. as some of you may have followed last year, it was my challenge to complete a race every month of 2016. and while that was an incredible challenge, this year is focused on more …
