Snapshots of my Running Life

2017 WDW Marathon – Finished with a sprained right ankle. I was on pace to finish a 3:50 race, but got injured after mile-19. I feel good about this race because I EARNED it. I finished two minutes faster than my first marathon though!

A PR at the 2014 Corporate Run

2016 Star Wars Kids Races – The Darkside. My little man came missed the start, but ran hard and got second!

2017 WDW Marathon – At ESPN just after I sprained my right ankle. I don’t look injured, right? That was the plan.

2014 Corp Run. My form doesn’t look too bad!

My shins and calves were saved by CEP compression sleeves.

Waiting and freezing in the corral. 2014 Wine and Dine.

I am so proud of this top-5% overall finish at the 2014 Wine and Dine

New Balance’s Minimus Fours are great for those short easy runs and a day at Disney.

Yours truly.

2016 Star Wars Half – The Darkside. My husband’s first 13.1!

My second race, Creekside High

A magical finish! 2014 Wine and Dine.

My first race at TPC Sawgrass.

Met up with my sister before the race – 2014 Princess Half Marathon

I started out a little too hard and my calves and shins paid the price. Lesson: listen to the experienced ones!

Awesome finish at the 2014 Wine and Dine

Running through the Magic Kingdom – 2014 Princess Half Marathon

These pants are comfy, practical, and just plain awesome after a run (and for yoga)!

Right after I was cleared to run after my third baby, I registered for NQ. Great race and awesome energy. “Never quit” is my mantra.

For my long runs, I wear my Asics Nimbus 14. You need that support and cushion. These shoes are about to be retired. They have about 120+ road miles.

After running the Donna 5K at The Players, my friend (and an inspiration) Leah and I picked up our packets for the Never Quit 5K for the next day. Hard core!
