    So here we are…less than a month away from the runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon weekend. Time has flown by! But I can’t help that my anxiety is through the roof! Running has been more than just a challenge lately. Just being able to survive each day has been the goal. But I have been able…

    There is magic to train for

    Lately I have been on a tough road. I always have hope that one day all my illnesses would just stop, but the way things are going….it doesn’t seem that way. My conditions only seem to be worsening and days are only getting tougher to push through. I do wake up every day in pain…

    26.2 Marathon training tips

    The marathon. One of the toughest distances to tackle, yet one of the most self satisfying distances to accomplish. It isn’t easy, but definitely not impossible.

    Believe it is and you will succeed

    How did I set 3 PRs in one month?!?!? I’ll tell you. It’s no secret. I have always been a competitive runner….I compete against myself. I RARELY run a race for time, or train to be faster. Knowing that running alone is a major task in itself, I’m not trying to go completely off my…
