November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month – Keeping Your Lungs Healthy

By

I lost my brother-in-law to lung cancer 2 years ago this Christmas.  It was a huge loss for our family, as Phil was our families rock. I first met Phil when I was about 11 or 12.He was my mentor, my former boss, and in my single days, he invited me on many a family vacation. He was diagnosed and had part of a lung removed. He fought his cancer and enjoyed life best he could. He had always been a big kid.  Here is a photo of me, Phil and my sister from a family Christmas in 2011. He passed away … [Read More...]

runDisney Princess Half Weekend Medals Revealed, Its FROZEN!

By

runDisney revealed the 2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend Medals today. Its gonna be a Frozen themed weekend it appears. I love them! Well the ribbon on the half medal has me wondering, but usually the official photos don't quite do justice to the full package. Wishing I was doing the 5k or Mini Me was doing a kids race. The medals are similar to last year, but a snowflake, extra glitter and the Frozen them makes me happy, since well its been the year of Anna and Elsa. Makes me wonder if … [Read More...]

Virtual Run Your Own Race 5k For Girls On The Run

By

Race bling is a huge motivator and a badge of pride. I love my first Princess Half Medal; I struggled with Plantar Fasciitis on that course and have never been so proud I finished a race. I love virtual races. Sometimes for a long training run, or running when temperatures are not ideal, a little bling is a GREAT motivator and reward. My friend and fellow ENELL ambassador Jill at Running With Curves is hosting a Virtual 5k in January - Run Your Own Race. Its complete with a  some glittery bling … [Read More...]

Is your weather person lately a villain?  Mine is. With yesterday's long run scheduled of 13 miles, I was already in my funk.  Remember, I like getting up to 10 miles followed by BAM... taper time. Sadly, not at the taper yet..this weekend was 13 miles. When I checked the forecast, I got the bad news...wind chill of 24 here in Atlanta and its only November. I was totally dreading the long run in the cold - with no medal at the end either. How did I get over it?  Here are the steps I took to … [Read More...]
