Wellness is a journey
In 2018, I ran the Alpharetta Women‘s 5k while 25 weeks pregnant (you can read the recap here). This year, I ran their half marathon at 8 months postpartum! Right after running their 5k last year, I signed up for the half marathon knowing that it would be my peak distance race event during my […] Read more…
I hope everyone is recovering from the Thanksgiving holiday! Did anyone else run a Turkey Trot this year? I decided to run in the Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day event hosted by the Atlanta Track Club. I ran the 5K and my 2 year old daughter ran the 50 yard dash. ATC also offered distances in the […] Read more…

Atlanta Track Club’s PNC 10 miler & 5K has been on my radar for years. 10 mile events are hard to find around here but being 23 weeks pregnant, I decided to sign up for the 5K and watched in envy as the 10 mile runners kicked off the race WHAT I WORE: With temps […] Read more…
Last night, I ran the Mayor’s Challenge 5K race downtown in Alpharetta, GA at the City Hall. First of all, I have never raced on a Thursday! Second, I didn’t expect it to be as big of race that it ended up being. It was sold out! Parking was tricky (non existent) at City Hall […] Read more…
Better late than never, here are my Awesomesauce and Five Star NTP race experiences from Memorial Day weekend. I hope everyone has enjoyed their 4th of July holiday. I’ve been busy and sick so this post comes a bit…late! As a military brat and former Navy Officer in the Reserves, my thoughts are with all […] Read more…
What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to run a half marathon! On Wednesday, I signed up for the 13.1 mile race. I drag my husband and daughter to all of my races so on Sunday morning, I woke my husband up at 5:30am, excited and ready to go! He requested that I find […] Read more…
After 9 months of anticipation, I finally crossed FL off my list and ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon! I signed up for the Princess Half in May 2017 (which sparked my running hobby). Not only was this my first race at Disney, it was my first time visiting Disney World. It also fell on […] Read more…
The Atlanta Jingle Bell Jog 5K came 10 days after the Turkey Trot 10K! I managed to PR even though my main focus was to have fun. Can you think of a more beautiful sight than 100s of Santa Clauses running the streets of Atlanta? Yes, you probably can but I bet it won’t make […] Read more…
My first turkey trot provided a second opportunity to wear a running costume. Races in October, November, and December are for fun and dressing up so I took full advantage of that. I ran the Five Star NTP Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. They offered distances of 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon. I originally registered to […] Read more…
