For my family that thrives on the “go, go, go,” a trip to Disney is like the ultimate endurance test, think marathon, but with more popcorn and Dole Whips. This recent Disney trip gave me a fresh perspective on endurance, both in terms of patience and physical stamina, and...

This week, we traded in the chilly New York weather for the warmth of Disney World. Ironically, the temperature spiked back home while we were away, which is turning out to be a classic vacation joke! With a packed schedule of park visits and pool time, this week’s post...

Starting this week off not feeling my best, but I’m setting a goal to hit 18 miles. With some planning and a little extra effort as my body heals, I’m ready to start pushing it on those longer runs. Even though I’ve had a few rough days, my weekly...
