The Disney Princess Half Marathon is this weekend! Are you running it? I am obviously not going this year, but I ran the race two years ago and it was hands down my favorite race experience ever! I ran it with my best friend Sarah and we regularly talk about how much fun we had. [...]

Frostbite 10K–It’s Not Going to Happen
I wanted to so badly to somehow still run the Frostbite 10K this weekend. I have been struggling with my health, and particularly my voice, since I got sick a week ago Monday. Am I the last person still watching this? Instead of training I’ve caught up on all sorts of TV shows…. Revenge- I’m [...]

Frostbite 10K Training Week 3
I’ve had some major running moments this week! The biggest is finally conquering the tempo run and running my fastest 5 miles ever. The second is going out of my comfort zone and running 8 miles in the cold—I even saw a few light snow flakes! I’ve talked so much this week on the blog [...]

Frostbite 10K Training Program
I’m a runner without a plan. For the past two months I’ve been heading outside (or eh-ehm to the treadmill when it was REALLY cold) to run 3 days a week with 3 to 6 miles in mind and running as long as I felt like it. On my non running days, I’ve cross trained on the elliptical or [...]

Frostbite 10K
I’m feeling a little frosty lately. I’ve gotten two e-mails in the past week that look something like this… I mentioned to my Dad and Hubby that I was considering signing up for this race. They both gave me a funny look and a twenty second pause before they replied “That doesn’t sound like you…” [...]

New Running Goals
For the longest time my biggest running goal was running a marathon. I wanted to prove to myself that I could go through the training and conquer the ridiculous task of running 26.2 miles. I told myself that it didn’t matter how long it took me to do it, but I wanted to cross that finish [...]

Girls on the Run 5K
Buried in the huge stack of flyers and catalogs that come in the mail daily, I actually got something pretty cool the other day. A “thank you” box for running the Chicago Marathon as a SoleMate. The box had a very thoughtful note, a super cute Girls on the Run visor and a warm fleece blanket. [...]
