A couple of years ago, I ran one of my favorite half marathons to date, Missoula Half Marathon in Montana. I never thought of going to Montana and definitely had never heard of Missoula, but I heard it was the race to run in Montana so off I went for a week long summer vacationContinue reading “Running and Kayaking in Big Sky Country”

Reflecting back on a trip to the Charm City
Back in December 2016, I took a quick two day trip to Baltimore to run a half marathon and check off the state of Maryland. Baltimore is the most populous city in Maryland and is located about 40 miles northeast of Washington DC. Baltimore is known as “Charm City”. This nickname goes back to theContinue reading “Reflecting back on a trip to the Charm City”
Boston Marathon
The Boston Marathon means so much to the City of Boston. It’s a sign of the true beginning of spring weather after long, cold snowy winter. It’s the start of the April school vacation week in Massachusetts and it’s also held on Patriots Day which is a holiday only celebrated in Massachusetts and Maine. FromContinue reading “Boston Marathon”
A race fit for a Princess!
Next weekend I’ll be running my third Princess Half Marathon at Walt Disney World. I run a lot of runDisney races each year and this is by far my favorite of all of them! I’ve never been much of a girly girl, but I have always wanted to be a princess so a weekend whereContinue reading “A race fit for a Princess!”
Beach to Bayou
In my last post I talked about the Mississippi Gulf Coast Half Marathon. That race was part of the Beach to Bayou challenge. The final race in this challenge was the Louisiana Half Marathon which brought me to the Louisiana capitol, Baton Rouge. I unfortunately was dealing with a pretty bad case of hip bursitisContinue reading “Beach to Bayou”
Mississippi Gulf Coast
Running in all 50 states brings you to some places you never even thought to go. Believe it or not Biloxi, Mississippi was actually somewhere I had always wanted to visit. Years ago when I lived in Tampa, I remember constantly seeing commercials for the Beau Rivage Casino that was opening in Biloxi, MS. WellContinue reading “Mississippi Gulf Coast”

Last weekend was the Rock n Roll Las Vegas Marathon weekend. This is a night race that gives you the unique opportunity to run down the Las Vegas strip. The race takes place in mid November each year which usually means perfect running weather. Two years ago, I headed to Vegas to run the 5KContinue reading “Rock n Roll Las Vegas”
Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2
It’s been two weeks since the Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend and I think I have finally recovered and caught up on sleep after all the early morning wake ups and nonstop fun! The weekend started with the expo which can get crazy at times, the line to get into the runDisney merchandise areaContinue reading “Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2”
Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend – Part one Holidays
runDisney has many race weekends throughout the year and the Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend may be one of my favorites. It started out 10 years ago as a night race and as someone who isn’t a morning person I had to try it out. Due to some stomach issues during the race, IContinue reading “Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend – Part one Holidays”
runDisney
As I get ready for my next runDisney race next weekend, I can’t help but think of my first long distance race that I participated in, the 10th annual Walt Disney World Marathon in Janury 2003. This race was so different than all the later runDisney races I have run. It didn’t involve dressing inContinue reading “runDisney”
