Aeropex AfterShokz HeadphonesDo you ever feel like you get incredibly lucky from time to time? Well, one night back in December, I was participating in a Twitter chat and at the end of the chat found out I had won a pair of AfterShokz Aeropex headphones. I was so excited! For years,...

We're fresh off our latest Disney Cruise Line vacation in January 2020 and during our sailing on the Disney Dream we made a stop at Disney's Castaway Cay - a private island paradise in the Bahamas! This island has it all. . .sun, sand, crystal clear water, food, a kids club, and much more. But...

I just wrapped up my third Baltimore Running Festival and it was less than a great showing from a performance standpoint. I went into the weekend undertrained and well aware of that fact so I ran some and walked liberally to my 2nd slowest half-marathon time yet. But, I finished and still...

The sun did not shine
It was too wet to play
So we ran through Frederick
On that wet, wet, wet day
Okay. . .so maybe that's not exactly how Dr. Seuss wrote it, but that's my adaptation to intro you into a recap of the 2019 Frederick Running Festival Half Marathon. I had never run a race before...
Namaste Runners
Because photographic evidence of me doing yoga
does not actually exist. . .
Anyone who even casually runs can speak to the value of cross training. Running can take a toll on your body if you go too hard, too far, too fast. Getting back into running after roughly a year off means that...

Time to lace up those training shoes, Mickey!
One of the best things about keeping a blog are the connections you make with others along the way. I've met so many fabulous "virtual" friends over the years who share both a love of running and a love of Disney with me. So in the spirit...
I'm a Baltimoron!
Under Armour Race Premiums - Yes, please!
Everyone knows runners can be a little crazy. And those of you who know me, probably know that I love my race bling. So when the time came to sign up for my 2016 racing schedule, I decided to go all out. Those of you who have been following...
Baltimore 10 Miler Recap
I can basically sum up the 2016 Baltimore 10 miler in three words - hills, heat, and humidity. Leg 2 of the King Crab Challenge proved to be much tougher than the Frederick Half Marathon that took place just 4 short weeks earlier. While the run was certainly not one of my best, it was a...
Life in the Slow Lane
When you're not fast, you run for other reasons than always being worried about time - fitness, quiet time, and the pure enjoyment of the run. Training for a half-marathon was not always fun, pounding the pavement mile after mile, but logging 13.1 miles on race day for the Frederick Half was...
Fitness Challenge - Week 2 Recap
The 30 days of fitness challenge is rolling on and so far April has continued to be a perfect month! This week was not easy to meet the challenge, but it worked out with a little perseverance and some creativity. I had three nighttime activities this week on top of my normal work day which...
Fitness Challenge - Week 1 Recap
Perfect month so far!
So week one of my fitness challenge is in the books and I'm still on track! I have to admit that there were some nights that were a bit of a challenge this week which speaks to the dedication that it takes to maintain a fitness regimen. Over the course of the week, I...
A Fitness Challenge that's No Joke!
Today is traditionally a day for pranks and jokes, but today I'm beginning a challenge that's no laughing matter. Since getting my Apple Watch as a Christmas present, I've enjoyed watching my fitness stats each day. Pretty consistently I'm able to meet my calorie goal and I ALWAYS meet my...
Fat Thighs
Yup. The title says it all on this one. Last week I had someone make a comment about my "fat thighs." It doesn't matter who the comment came from, but it happened. I can't say I'm surprised or that I even disagree, but while I tried to smile and play it off - the sting was still...
