Springtime Suprise: RunDisney

So. I'm running a 10-miler. This 10-miler to be exact:

So. I'm running a 10-miler in Florida. And I am ready. What possessed me to sign up? Well I wanted to push myself this year. Accomplish things I've never done before. Fun fact: I hate running....but I used to be on the cross country team 🤷🏿‍♀️. 

I thrive on being unpredictable and neutral chaotic tbh. Anyway to train for this (because I'm not silly enough NOT to train), I enlisted my friend who not only does several long races a year. She's been known to do 2-3 half marathons (13.1 miles) in a month. Plus she has been building a small business on coaching nonrunners to run. Makes sense to me to get the help. 

Anyway through the training program, the longest distance I've done is 8 miles 💪🏾 😅. However, I also trained while in 90° Jamaican dusty fields so I feel like that's got to count for something. 

Mentally I think I'm going to have a few hiccups. Mostly because I've been running solo and just under pace and I know I'm going to want to stop and take pictures but also don't want to get swept up by the balloon ladies (pacers) 🙃 because it takes time to stop and take pictures. 

All in all I'm going to a place I love to do something I hate....because balance.

I'll let you know how it goes. In the interim,  pray for my knees. Until next post.....laters

Another holiday season is upon us! Another time were I am torn about how much I spend versus how much I save. Bah humbug. Alas hopefully I will have several epiphanies before December 14th.

Just gotta be me

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family. It's time for me to venture out into to the world with the training they have given me and do my own thing...therefore I'm getting a tattoo...this is just a sign of my personal growth and freedom..God forbid my parent trip but like I said this isn't about rebelling it's about doing ME

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...
