Fargo Marathon Logo - Image from Fargo MarathonLike many other races recently, the Fargo Marathon has made the decision to go virtual for 2020.

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...
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...
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...
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...
Running Etiquette for runDisney and Beyond!
There are several things that you will find at every runDisney race - costumes, characters, fun, and lots of people. I mean tens of thousands of runners all looking to make memories running the most magical races on Earth. With so many runners participating in each race of a runDisney weekend,...
Motivational Monday from Finding Dory
Dory and friends returned to the big screen on June 17 to a resounding welcome from kids and adults alike - and it's no wonder why. The story provides opportunities for viewers to draw motivational lessons from Dory that they can apply to their own lives. Runners find motivation in lots...
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...
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...
"March"-ing Into Racing Season!
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...
Running Disney with Galloway's Intervals
Interval training is what carried me through training for what was supposed to be my first half-marathon and I relied on it heavily on race night. I first learned of the benefits of interval training from reading up on information from Olympian Jeff Galloway. Jeff Galloway has partnered...
