Why do you Run? It is a great way for me to focus, have some me-time, and relieve stress! Plus it keeps me healthy.
How long have you been running? Four years.
Do you compete in running? Yes! I have run 19 half marathons, two full marathons (including Goofy’s challenge in WDW) and countless 5k’s.
Most challenging aspect of running: Training in the South where it is very hot and humid most of the year!
Most fun aspect of running: Racing! I love the thrill of crossing the finish line.
Most rewarding aspect of running: Meeting and exceeding personal goals I set for myself.
Who/what inspires you when you’re feeling weak? My husband, he runs too and is a great motivator!
Advice for others who’d like to get started: Start slow! Even if it’s just walking three times a week for 30 minutes, just get out there and move, then gradually start increasing your time.
Your must-have equipment for running: A well-fitting pair of shoes is essential. Go get fitted for a shoe at a running store, because it can make a huge difference.
Favorite training song: “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson
Favorite healthy food: I love smoothies, so many variations to make!
Favorite not-so-healthy food: I have a big sweet tooth…brownies and ice cream would top the list.
Funniest /weirdest/most awkward experience while Running: Having people recognize me during races always cracks me up! “Hey! I read your blog!” is fun to hear!
Thanks so much for featuring me! It was great to hang out with you at Princess, hope to see you at another Disney race!
I’ll be at Everest, Tower of Terror, Wine and Dine …. we’ll definitely see each other soon. Your feature is fabulous. The thanks is all mine!
