May the 4th be with you....ok, I just made that super cheesy! I know I have overwhelmed you with all of the Star Wars posts today, but why not do an outfit of the day post. This will also be a running outfit of the day! I have been known to make my own costumes, but with work being crazy I didn't have time to put it all together. I purchased the top and the cape from a shop on Etsy, the skirt came from Sparkle Athletic (which is the best running skirt around), I always use th

If you read my prior post about packing for Disney, the one consistent thing I talk about is comfortable. Don't get me wrong, I still want to look cute, but I want to make sure I am comfortable for all of the walking. For our day at Magic Kingdom I chose to wear my favorite Abercrombie shorts and my new favorite tank from Madewell. I kept the accessories to minimum, but the best accessory is the medal! It got a little warm that afternoon and the outfit was perfect! All items

After marathon weekend I took some time to make sure I was healthy and back to 100% before training for this race. As you have seen in prior posts, I was cleared by the doctor and started running. I'm not sure how I angered Mother Nature during this training cycle, but due to weather I was only able to run twice between when I was cleared to race day.

Welcome to day one of Star Wars Dark Side Half Marathon Weekend! My first days are typically jammed pack with plans, but this time we took it a little slower. Our plane from Atlanta didn't leave until almost 1 p.m., but luckily the flight was just over an hour, so it didn't take us very long. We arrived in Orlando and immediately headed toward the Magical Express so we could head to our hotel. Our check in with Magical Express was very quick and when I saw our bus pull up I g

Hello friends! I have been asked to do this post from several people I know, so I decided it was time to write it! Not only am I going to write it, I am going to break this down into different posts to make it super easy! My first post in the series is going to be, What is the best race for me? RunDisney offers several options for different themed race weekends with races for anyone of any training level. All races are currently located at Walt Disney World, in Orlando, FL, o

Happy Sunday Everyone and welcome to the first week of Star Wars Dark Side 10k training! The last time I ran was almost a month ago, so I decided Mom and I should take it easy this week and start our training with a 2 mile run. It was the perfect weekend to start running again as it was cool and sunny, which is something it hasn't been in Atlanta the past few weeks. Mom and I started the run around 7:45 a.m. and I felt great during the first mile. When I got to 1.5 miles I co
