2017 was another running year. I ran more virtual events than ever before. I spent my 40th birthday run/jog/walking a half marathon at Disneyland. I wore my fitbit, of course. But, I switched my focus from 10,000 steps a day to concentrating on the number of miles I ran. My plantar fasciitis was still a …
I gave myself a goal at the beginning of 2017. The goal was to sign up & complete all the virtual events hosted by Hogwarts Running Club this year.
When I found out the Disneyland Half Marathon was being held the day of my 40th birthday, I knew I must go. And go, I did. Thankfully, I have fabulous friends who didn’t mind going to Disneyland.
Last minute I decided to sign up for the Worst Day of the Year Run in Troutdale. I also convinced Farm Kid1 to do it with me. Running in February can often mean running in cold temperatures, wind and rain – thus the Worst Day. However, this particular day was great. It wasn’t warm, but …
I’ve spent the last few days at the Star Wars Half Marathon weekend in Disneyland. This was my second Run Disney event weekend. They sure know how to put on a good event. That has to be one of the reasons their events are so popular.
I have previously posted about Love Rocks & the impact they have had on our neighboring community. The Love Rocks family hosted a 5k as a fundraiser to build a playground in the girls honor. I got up early yesterday and took part in the event.
Last week I completed my first ever Run Disney event – the Neverland 5K. It was a great experience, even if it did rain. I flew to California with two friends on Thursday & we spent the entire weekend enjoying Disneyland & California Adventure.
Previously I had done 2 color fun runs & my boys were wanting to do one, so we did the Color Vibe. The nice thing was that kids 12 and under could do the event for free. Of course they didn’t get any swag, but no biggie, I just bought extra color packets for them …
Almost exactly one year ago I signed my hubby, John, & I up for the Warrior Dash. It was much cheaper if we committed so far in advance. So, I signed us up. Then waited. I have friends who have done it and this muddy, obstacle filled race was on my bucket list of 5k’s. …
Over the weekend my sister, a couple friends, niece, & daughter took part in the Color Me Rad 5K. We walked the 3.1 miles beginning at the event center, on to the road, through 4 color stations & back to the event center. This is a fun run, so it’s not timed. We just walked …
