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...
Tales from a Self-Proclaimed Slacker
So here's the down and dirty truth - I've been a slacker. Life has gotten in the way these past few weeks and I need to get myself back on track. I can't say it's been a bad few weeks - it's actually been really exciting around our house! Both of my boys celebrated birthdays the first week of February which meant birthday fun and a big birthday party. February is also the busiest...
Conquering Excuses
Spending quality time with my treadmill
this week.
"It's too cold."
"It's snowing."
"It's too late."
"Why does it get dark so early?"
"I'm too tired."
Any of those sound familiar? I know I've been guilty of saying them before, but I'm working on ways to conquer excuses in...

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...
2017 Princess Half Marathon Race Recap
Leg 2 of the Glass Slipper Challenge found me with another early wake-up at 3AM to get ready to join the thousands of women (and lots of men too!) at Epcot for runDisney's Princess Half Marathon. Like other runDisney races, the start time is an invigorating 5:30AM and they ask runners to arrive by...
I'm officially a runDisney Princess!
It's been quiet for a few weeks on the blog as I've prepared for and traveled to Walt Disney World for my very first Princess Half Marathon Weekend. I'll be posting more details on each of these experiences in the weeks ahead, but I wanted to take a minute and give you a quick weekend recap from...
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...

Well runDisney fans and friends, I'm excited to share that I'll get to cross another runDisney event off my bucket list! Look out Glass Slipper Challenge - I'm coming for you in 2017! Yesterday, my friend and I registered for the annual challenge which includes the Enchanted 10K on Saturday...
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...
2016 Frederick Nut Job Challenge Recap
This past weekend, I crossed a big item off my bucket list - I completed my first half-marathon. And not only did I run the 13.1 miles on Sunday afternoon, but I turned out to be a complete Nut Job by adding the 5K race on Saturday evening. While the pain is still fresh in my legs and joints,...

With the turn of the calendar, the beginning of daylight savings time, and the change in temperature, signs of spring are certainly springing up all around the Mid-Atlantic. Another sure sign that spring is in the air? Running calendars are once again blooming with races. I've been...
