As many of you know, I just came back from a long weekend in Orlando for the Disney Dark Side Half Marathon. After running the Star Wars Rebel Half in January, I have been looking forward to this weekend since! This was an awesome weekend filled with tons of fun, laughs and adventures. This time […]

Destination Disneyland!
No better way to kick of 2016 than a trip to Disneyland… unless it’s a trip to Disneyland to run the Star Wars Half Marathon! (note: I am finally sitting down to write this a few months after I came back!) I will have to say that this trip came at the perfect time. On […]

Can a single race really change your life?
Yes, it can. In more ways than one! A few weekends ago (June 12-13th – sorry it’s taken me this long to get this posted!) I had the opportunity to run the Chicago Raganr with a team from the Chicago area. 12 of us joined forces to run about 200 miles, from Madison WI to Chicago. […]

Chicago, Running, good friends and Ice Cream! Combining for a perfect weekend!
The weekend that we have been waiting for all summer was finally here! Friday Morning, Darci, Robin and myself hit the road and drove to Kenosha to catch the train to Chicago! Our ultimate destination? The Women Rock Chicago Half Marathon! When Robin put out a call to her female running friends this past spring, […]
My first Half Marathon in Michigan finally complete!
Yes, that is correct… after growing up in Michigan, still traveling back there on a fairly regular basis and only living a few hours away, up until now, I had not run a Half Marathon in the state! A few months ago, I saw a Facebook post about the Marquette Marathon and figured I’d check […]
Cheesehead Half Marathon Race recap
Last year’s Cheesehead Marathon was a tough one (last years race details can be found here). After the brutal sun last year, I could only hope for better weather this year. I wish I could say that this year was better. There may not have been beating sun in a cloudless sky like last […]
Hike, Bike and Ice: Munising weekend 2014 comes to a close
As always, any good vacation must come to and end. Unfortunately, that was today. But I am not going to let it put a damper on any of the fun adventures that we had this weekend! The weather was awesome (a little rain overnight on Friday didn’t bother us since we were sleeping), we met […]
Hike, Bike and Ice (part 2)
Any morning that you can wake up with the sound of the waves less than 50 yards from your front door, you know is going to be a good day! The waves also so relaxing that we didn’t wake up as early as we originally planned! Hitting the trail at 7am can’t happen if you […]
Hike, Bike and Ice weekend 2014 (Part 1)
This past weekend was the 4th annual mom/son Michigan Adventure weekend. From my last posted, I said announced this year’s challenge of 50 miles of hiking, biking and running. We knew this was going to be a tough challenge, a lot of miles but we were going to give it our best shot! When […]
