My First (Virtual) Half Marathon

My sister and I completed our first Half Marathon this past weekend! Ready for a race recap?

Half Marathon Training Update + 3 Lessons I've Learned So Far

I have been an on and off again runner/jogger for years and this year my sister and I completed the Disney Princess 5K and started training for a Half Marathon. Technically the race day was in February but it was a virtual race and we wanted to train and do it in better weather so we are choosing on our "race day". At this point we're halfway through the training program and I wanted to share a quick update.

My First Tough Mudder Experience

Although completing a marathon is on my ultimate bucket list, I was so excited to have checked off another "fun" run. I did a few color runs with my sister years ago so this was the first race I participated in in a while. But it was so much fun!

Color Run Philly 5k

Today's post celebrates a little something my sister and I did today....we did in the Color Run Philadelphia!! My sister recently hopped on the fitness train and I couldn't be more proud of her progress and how far she's come. We completed 3.1 miles (ok we didn't run the whole thing) in our first 5k. It was so much fun and I am seriously covered in paint right now! It truly is "the happiest 5k on the planet," seriously!!

Next up, a 10k Tough Mudder Race! ...or a nap.

WALK FOR A CURE: ALZHEIMER'S WALK

This past weekend a friend of mine and I participated in Walk For A Cure, a 5k fundraiser for Alzheimer's Disease in Philadelphia. There were a ton of people supporting the cause and the walk went by so quickly. There were teams in matching shirts and quite a few people carrying flowers.
