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…
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…
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…
I started my racing season this year with two 5K’s in May and June. I ran both 5K’s over 30 minutes (see my races page for all race times). I wanted to challenge myself with a 5K since August but I’ve been busy every Saturday, so I was ecstatic when I finally found a 5K […] Read more…
2 weeks after running the Alien Half Marathon, I ran the Big Peach Sizzler 10K. My big goal was a sub-60 minute race, which has always eluded me in races and in training. The night before the 10K, I picked out my outfit, set aside safety pins, and packed my bag because 4:50AM comes fast. My […] Read more…
In May, I decided I wanted to run a half marathon and I had 10 weeks to train for it. I felt like I had a good fitness base since I began working out at 6 weeks postpartum last year. I was lifting and doing cardio 2-3 times a week so I felt fit. Not […] Read more…
6K? Who runs a 6K? I thought it was an interesting distance and they offered medal to the finishers so I signed up! This race was held at the same park of my last 5K so I was familiar with the course. As we pulled into the parking lot, a few older gentlemen passed my […] Read more…
After signing up for the 2018 half marathon, I decided I wanted to train NOW and not wait. Having a big goal lit a fire under my booty. I’m lifting like I want to be a bikini competitor and running like I want to be a half marathoner. Two totally different sports and most would […] Read more…
