In May, I ran my first half marathon – it was the Tinkerbell at Disneyland. That was an accomplishment I was super proud about. Who knew I could do such a thing? And now I can say I’ve completed two half marathons! Besides a Disney event, the other event calling my name was the Rock n Roll half marathon in Las Vegas. I thought it
2015 Race Recap – Garlic Fest 10K
This is my third year running at the Garlic Fest in North Plains, however this was my first time taking part in the 10k. I sometimes like doing the smaller races that aren’t all hyped up and crazy. But, mainly I chose to do this one because it’s timed. In about 2 months I have to submit an official time to Run Disney for my
2015 Race Recap – Red, White & Blues 10K
I have taken a step back on running this summer and have been concentrating instead on getting in at least 10,000 steps a day according to my fitbit. However, I signed up for my 2nd half marathon. Eek! My goal when I started running was to finish a half marathon. I’m ecstatic that I enjoyed that accomplishment enough to go for it again.
2015 Race Recap – Love Rocks 5k Run
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.
2015 Race Recap – Tinker Bell Half Marathon
About a year ago, I gave myself the goal of completing a half marathon. 13.1 miles is a long way & I wanted my first one to be fun. So, I chose the Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disneyland. I trained & the event had finally arrived. I completed the half and it was better than I dared to think it could be. Here’s
2015 Race Recap – Neverland 5K
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.
2015 Race Recap – Mommathon 10K
To train & keep me motivated for my first half marathon in May, I signed up for another 10K. Honestly, there’s not much to say about the run. The weather was nice, which can be rare around here in February, so that was a bonus. It was a 5K course that the 10Kers ran twice. At the end I did get a nice looking medal.
2015 Race Recap – Heart Breaker 10K
This was my first organized race in 5 months. Although I took a break from running in December, I went right back to it in January beginning to train for my first half marathon in May. So I thought I was prepared to run this 10K. I absolutely underestimated the hills on this course. They were real killers. I finished with an ok time, but
2014 Race Recap – Color Vibe 5K
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 to throw. Buying color packets isn’t necessary to do the
2014 Race Recap – Warrior Dash 5K
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. This weekend was finally our time to give our all
