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”

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”
