Had so much fun this past weekend! #rundisney #marathonweekend2023 #ladiesrundisney #marathon #waltdisneyworld #wdwmarathonweekend
That moment I realized I’m officially a marathoner! #rundisney #marathontraining #marathoner #ladiesrundisney #ididit #fibrowarrior #marathonweekend #wdwmarathon #wdwmarathonweekend #disneyworld #2023disneymarathonweekend #goofychallenge
4-mile run this morning! Not gonna lie. It was a struggle. I haven’t run more than a few miles in a long time. But I got it done! #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #kickinmagicalapparel #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection
Got the time I needed! So excited! Marathon weekend here I come!! #marathontraining #ladiesrundisney #rundisney
Week one of Goofy Training is done. Half marathon for time this Saturday! #rundisney #marathontraining #goofytraining2023 #icandothis #halfmarathon #ladiesrundisney
10-minute zone ride with Dennis Morton (love him!) followed by a 4-mile treadmill run 🥰 It felt good to get past a 5K today - it’s been 3 weeks since my last half, so I’m easing back into it. TGIF 🙏🏽 It has been a week! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Well, I haven’t posted for a while. Moving has taken over our lives. We are still working, trying our best as little league parents, and working to get our old house cleared out so we can clean it and hand over the 🔑🔑 But this weekend we pressed pause for a minute between moving, little league playoffs, and a birthday party for one of B’s friends, and I ran the @carlsbad5000 with my bestie. To be honest, I haven’t run at all in 2 weeks. It was a bit of a struggle today on the last mile. My cursor mile was a 9:55 pace, and it went up from there. I finished with a 10:10 pace overall. Not terrible considering I haven’t been training. But still made me realize how much I miss working out (running specifically) and how much I need to train. Nevertheless, the course was beautiful, and Carlsbad is just a lovely place to run! Hope everyone had a good weekend! 🥰 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Happy Wednesday, friends! Traveling to OC 🌴 for work this week, but before I left this morning I squeezed in a 30-minute Foo Fighters run with @mattwilpers to celebrate @helmsie ‘s 100th Peloton run! Awesome pick, Stephanie! I enjoyed this run even more than I could have imagined! Happy 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣! #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rawthreads #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
4-mile run this morning to burn off the work crazy and celebrate the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade at Disneyland this week😍 I wore my Encanto-inspired shirt from @rawthreadsathletics ✨ Already looking for my next half - thinking of doing the Rock N Roll San Diego. Anyone else running that race in June? I got off work just before 11pm, so this post is a bit late for Thursday. In that case, happy Friday all! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
#FinishlineFriday Everest 5k was already 2 weeks ago but man oh man I had so much fun at this race. I truly think every race should be a night race at Disney 😆 I 10000000% prefer this to 2am wakeup calls. Plus I got to try out my new shiny leggings and first time wearing this Sparkle Skirt! #RunDisney #5k #ExpeditionEverest #ExpeditionEverest5k #SpringtimeSuprise #SparkleSquad #TeamSparkle #LadiesRunDisney #YetiOrNot #RunGoodr #GirlsWhoRun #PartyWithTL #Pure21
Squeezed in a 2-mile run this morning near Disneyland before our board meeting. It was perfect running weather! Even ran into our friends and colleagues on our run! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #ircrunners #disnerd #womenwhorun #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Beach and Bay 10K ✅ And what a beautiful course it was! I really feel like I need to do the half next year. The half course looks gorgeous, too! And the medal is awesome! Plus an awesome beer garden around awaits at the finish line - SD has so many of the best breweries out there 🍻 #sandiego @beyondevents @beachandbayhalf #sandiegobeachandbay #10K #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection
Happy Friday! I’m loving all the #Encanto. Stuff coming to #Disneyland! 💜💙🧡💚💛 So I wore my Encanto-inspired #RawThreads tank this morning for my 5K run. I can’t wait to go back to Disneyland next month! #disneyencanto #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Well, I fell off my regular workout routine for the past couple of weeks, only squeezing in long walks and a run here or there. I’m starting to get back in my groove this week though. Picked up a couple #peloton classes last night and made my son promise to do at least one 10-minute class with me each weekday. Ran 4 miles after work while catching up on Kardashian drama (thanks, Hulu 😂). Getting ready to take on the #beachandbay10k this weekend! 🏃🏽♀️ Hope everyone’s week is going well so far! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #ircrunners #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
6-mile run today at a 10:54 pace. Excited for the Beach and Bay 10K next month - I love running around Mission Bay 😍 Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! 💜 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection
This time change has been rough, but I got myself up early and ran 4 miles before work at a 10:45 pace. Not too bad. I have to admit that wearing heels 👠at work during the day is a tough adjustment after 2 years of barely wearing them at all 😂 Loving my new #runDopey shirt 💚💜 What a fun running group this is! So happy I met one of the admins at the expo on Marathon Weekend. It’s a super positive and supportive group of runners. Hope everyone had a good day! Almost to Friday!! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Congrats to you both! 👏🏽👏🏽 @pchrunner ・・・ Hot Chocolate 5K was so much fun! I gotta help B train more for endurance, but honestly when I was his age, I hated running at all 😂 so I guess I can consider it a win that he even does races with me 💕 I cherish the time with him no matter how fast we run or walk ❤️ #hotchocolate5K #hotchocolaterun #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #womenwhorun #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney

5K ✅ at a 10:16 pace and the Hot Chocolate 5K is in the morning. Excited to run it with the little guy. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Happy Valentine’s Day! Ran a 5K this morning before work. So happy I did because today at work was wild and by the time I got off work, I wasn’t in workout mode anymore. Hoping to get some good Peloton classes in tomorrow. Hope everyone had a lovely day! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection
5K on the treadmill this morning before work. Got to wear my new @designsby_della workout too and I love it! 🥰 My left foot isn’t all healed but one way or another I’m running a 10K race this weekend 😂 #supportindigenousbusiness #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
First run in 3 weeks! My left foot (still apparently a bit tender on the metatarsals) was not happy during the first mile…but I stuck through it and the endorphins kicked in and I felt great for the rest of the run! 6.17 miles total, including a warm-up 3.8-mile run followed by a 30-minute Disney treadmill run with @mattymaggiacomo 💜 I swear, I love ALL of Matty’s classes! It was a villains-themed soundtrack and it was 🔥 Excited to run the #cardiffkookrun next weekend! Bestie and I are dressing up as Alice and the Mad Hatter for the 10K 🤩 Shout out to @kickin_magical_apparel for my custom running skort - I LOVE it! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #rawthreads #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #kickinmagicalapparel #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Got up early enough to do a 20-minute Disney-themed core class with @mattymaggiacomo before getting ready for work and it was awesome! Will definitely be doing that one again! Followed up with some cardio and now I’m ready to take on the workday! 💞 X-rays on my foot are back and there’s no breakage so I’m going to try running again this weekend. Two weeks and counting is the longest period of time I have gone without running in nearly two years. I’m missing it! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #crosstraining #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreads #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
It’s #medalmonday and over the weekend B and I hauled our WDW Marathon Weekend medals to @disneyland so we could take pics on Main Street and in front of the castle - we didn’t make it into Magic Kingdom before we left WDW, so this was our chance to get all those photos. We had a lot of fun, and we met so many nice people who asked about the races. The Photopass photographers had fun taking medal pics again - I think they miss the Disneyland runDisney race weekends as much as we do! We hope they come back some day here in Cali. We will still run in FL, too, and it would be awesome to do the runDisney coast to coast challenge! I had the best time with the little guy, and I even got him to say he’d try the 10K! Here’s hoping he sticks to that for next year! 💙 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #calirunner #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Disney ride tonight with the #teambuttbow girls and it was so much fun! Back to work for the night but this was awesome! Way to kick butt tonight @brianarunsdisney and @mamamouseketeer 👏🏽💪🏽💜💙 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #crosstraining #rawthreadsclub #pelodisney #peloton #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Today is (barely) still #medalmonday and it’s hard to believe that I was flying home from Marathon Weekend just two weeks ago. What a rush it was to complete my first full marathon and first Dopey. I can’t wait for next year’s Marathon Weekend. Until then, I’m lining up some local races and putting together my outfits for my Vegas half. Still, I gotta say, there’s nothing like a @rundisney race! It’s the full experience, the cast members cheering you on, the parks, the music, the characters, the start line fireworks, the other runners, the costumes, the energy. It’s truly the best there is! Can’t wait to see my runDisney friends again! 💜💚 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #crownedcrew #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Got a new PR for a 20-minute ride this morning with @codyrigsby 😍 I love every one of god workouts. He’s so much fun and so relatable. I *barely* bested my previous output, but I did it, and Cody’s pose says exactly how I felt afterward! #dopeyrunner #marathoner #rawthreadsclub #crosstraining #peloton #boocrew #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Hard to believe that it was nearly two weeks ago that we were gearing up to attend the Marathon Weekend Expo! My bestie was able to snap this photo on the walk to the corrals for the 5K. There’s nothing like a @rundisney weekend 🥰 I miss it so much already! I can’t wait to register for my next Disney race! Definitely doing Marathon Weekend next year and maybe even Princess 😍 It’s amazing what you can do with the support of the running community, and especially Disney runners ❤️ Until I can register for my next Disney race, picking out things to wear for my upcoming local and regional races is proving to be a good distraction 🥰 After all, it’s fun to dress up in Disney-themed stuff for any race ✨✨ #dopeyrunner #marathoner #kickinmagicalapparel #teamsparkle #teambuttbow #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
It’s #medalmonday and while I could post my Dopey Challenge medals, I’m almost as proud of the half marathon I ran one week after completing Dopey. It was a lot of fun and I’m so glad I did it 💙🌊😎 Hope everyone had a nice weekend 🥰 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #carlsbadhalfmarathon #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Completed the #carlsbadhalfmarathon this morning, and the scenery was beautiful for pretty much all of the course! It also has great swag - a long sleeve tech shirt and a sweet athletic jacket! Final chip time was 2:35, which isn’t bad considering I walked all the hills, and there were several of them 😂 But what an awesome course! Have to give @inmotionevents and all the volunteers a big shout out for the excellent support on the course! So many hydration stations, live music, and community members out there cheering us on 💙 #dopeyrunner #marathoner #rungoodr #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathon #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners
Happy almost-Friday! Not gonna lie - this week has been a little challenging. Coming off the BEST WEEK EVER makes about everything else pale in comparison, not to mention that I started back to work about 8 hours after we landed back in San Diego Monday night. I think my body is still on Florida time because by 9pm I’m passing out and that NEVER happens 😂😂 I’m a night owl through and through. I have so many pics to post of the wonderful people I got to connect with and the awesome memories I made during Marathon Weekend. The energy and positivity of Marathon Weekend is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. I can’t wait to race again, especially at a runDisney event. I’m so grateful to everyone who made it such a memorable event, including those who were there in person and connect virtually. I have so much love for the running community, and while I thought I’d be one and done on the full marathon and Dopey Challenge, I’m finding myself eager to do it all over again, besting my time from last weekend and watching my son beat his 5K time. I can’t wait for next year’s Marathon Weekend 🥰🥰 #dopeytraining #dopeychallenge #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #marathoner #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
And just like that, I’m one step closer to completing the Dopey Challenge! Had so much fun running the half this morning and cheering on my sweet friend @susyruns50 on her first half (she rocked it btw!) 😍💗 Congrats to everyone who completed the half today! Dopey Challenge progress: 5K ✅ 10K ✅ Half Marathon ✅ Marathon starts in 6.5 hours, so I better get to bed! #dopeychallenge #wdwhalfmarathon #wdwmarathonweekend #rundisney #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #teambuttbow #crownedcrew #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney

6-mile maintenance run today to keep things fresh for Marathon Weekend. One week from today the runDisney peeps or my family will be scraping me off the pavement - hopefully it will be the latter and after I cross the finish line 😅 Bringing two pairs of shoes and multiple insoles so that I can alternate for each of my 4 races. First marathon and first Dopey Challenge, here I come! #dopeytraining #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Got the little guy out for his 5K training today - 1.65 miles of fun/walk intervals. He fought it at first but later told me it was fun 🤷🏽♀️ Also nearly died on a 30-minute @codyrigsby boot camp class today 🤣🤣 That was tough after some holiday rest days, not gonna lie 😂 But Cody always makes it fun 🤩 Happy Monday! Marathon Weekend is almost here! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Long day of driving for me, B, and the hubs today, but I managed to squeeze a 2-mile run in during a @teslamotors supercharger stop. One thing about driving an electric car - long trips give you charging stops to find cool little spots that you might not otherwise check out 😎 And the stops are usually 20-25 minutes, so it still goes fairly quickly. #dopeytraining #crosstraining #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Well, I did it. I ran then ran/walked 25.5 miles tonight for my Dopey Challenge training. It was tough. Not gonna lie. Many times I wanted to quit, but I knew this was my last weekend before race day for a long run and prep for the marathon. I ran it in 5.5 hours on the treadmill. It was extra tough because hubs and I spent the entire day cleaning and decluttering and organizing our house. I didn’t feel like running. My legs didn’t feel like running after standing on hardwood floors and tile all day 😂 And I started my run at 5:30pm. But I did it! The best things after finishing my run? A hot shower and Bio-Freeze 😂 Huge shout out to @kickin_magical_apparel for the perfect tank top wear on my run! If you haven’t checked out the awesome customer creations they make I’m partnership with @dgfdesigns , you should! I can’t wait to wear and post all the beautiful running tanks and skirts they made me! I can honestly say this is the best tank I’ve ever run in - no chafing whatsoever and it felt light even after I started *sparkling* during my run ✨ Hope everyone has a good night! Excited that Christmas is less than a week away! ❤️ #dopeytraining #crosstraining #kickinmagicalapparel #dgfdesigns #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Hope everyone had a good weekend! Ours was super busy - we had three parties and a sleepover at my bestie’s house. It was such a lovely time to hang out with our friends. We got to see some friends we hadn’t seen in a year as we celebrated their youngest son’s birthday, we got to meet more wonderful families from B’s school at a beautiful holiday gathering hosted by our sweet friends, and we got to visit with colleagues today at a holiday get-together for work. I’m the midst of the holiday cheer, I needed to squeeze in a 23-mile run. Last night we got home after 8pm, and after a crazy work week and little sleep, that 23-mile run wasn’t going to be a thing 😂 I was so tired that I crashed on the sofa last night and got up this morning a bit later than I intended - I slept until 9:15, and didn’t get started on my run until after 10am 🤪 And the work party was at 2…so I broke my run into two segments. I did 16 miles before the work party and 7 after the work party. Not ideal training runs, but I’ll take it anyway. I PR-ed the first 13.1 miles - besting ny fastest half by nearly 3 minutes. I felt 🤢 after that non-stop 13.1-mile run, so I slowed down for the next 3. Then I ran between a 11:00 and 12:00/mile pace for the last 7 after the party. At least I met my 23-mile goal 🙌🏽 The toughest part of marathon/Dopey training for me has been the time required. Working full time, I don’t get as much time with B as I’d like, so this marathon training with extra long runs on the weekend, especially during the holiday season, is challenging. For those of you who are veteran Dopey Challenge runners, how do you balance training with all your other responsibilities (work, parenting, spouse time, friends, family)? Any suggestions for making it work more efficiently are welcome! 💚💜💚💜 #marathontraining #dopeytraining #crosstraining #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #rawthreadsclub #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
It’s been quite a week at work 🤪 And I’m so happy tomorrow is Friday 🙏🏽 Ran 5 miles tonight and 1 walked a mile after that, and it felt fabulous 🤩 Excited to wear my @ircrunners #motherrunner shirt for the first time 🏃🏽♀️ Happy almost-Friday! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #ircrunners #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
5-mile run after work tonight, and I needed it to re-center 🥰 First mile was rough but after that I felt fabulous!

5K this morning before work to ease back into my Dopey training.

Ran through the rain today in one of my favorite places 🥰 You can tell in each pic I got more drenched 😂 It was fun though! Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start!

After my marathon training yesterday, I wasn’t sure I could run this morning, but I squeezed in 4.2 miles before work to celebrate the beautiful @withallmysole ‘s birthday!

Well, Dopey training called for a 10-mile walk yesterday followed by a 23-mile run/walk today. Instead I busted my 🍑 on my @codyrigsby ride yesterday and got a new PR for a 30-minute ride and then I did a 21-mile run/walk today. I’m not gonna lie…today I was on the strugglebus. I walked a lot of the 21 miles but I kept a decent walking pace of 15:00/miles combined with 12:00/mile jogging. The important thing is that I showed up and beat my longest run or run/walk to date by one mile 🥰 I also moved non-stop for 5 hours straight. This is just a reminder to be kind to yourselves on your good running days and not-so-good running days. Progress is progress! Just show up 👏🏽👏🏽 Hope y’all had a nice weekend! #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #dopeytraining #crosstraining #marathontraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #ircrunners #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney

Happy Halloween! Feeling villainous with runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend right around the corner! 4-mile run in just under 40 minutes. Not bad for this typical 10-11-min miler! Can’t wait to see all the runDisney fam - and especially my bestie and @izzyrunzdisney later this week! Cheers to starting this week off with some good energy 🥂 #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners
3-mile run before a busy work day, and I’m counting the days until the return of live runDisney races! I cannot wait to see everyone at the expo and take in all the fun, energetic chaos of race mornings (races start at 2am Cali time) 🤩 I’ve already packed my race outfits and running shoes in my carry-on 😍 Happy Friday, y’all 🎉 #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
It’s been a nutty work week, but my friends, family, and colleagues brightened it in every way. Things can get crazy at work, but at the end of the day, we are pretty much like family. I’m grateful to work with so many wonderful, talented people 🙏🏽 I haven’t gotten to run in the mornings this week because I’ve been working late at night ☹️ but B and I worked out tonight after I got home 🤩 We finished our workout at 10pm - 4 miles for me and 45 minutes on the elliptical for him. Determined to get my training in even if I feel like passing out after work 💪🏽 I get to see so many of my virtual running buddies IRL next week, and to say I’m excited is an understatement!! 🤩✨ Hope everyone is having a good week! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Well, I did it! I ran 20 miles this evening. I finished in just shy of 4 hours. I’m exhausted but I’m so happy I finished. I ran the first 13.1 miles in 2:29:00, and I finished 20 miles faster today than I ran 17 miles two weeks ago. Progress! Heading to Wine and Dine half marathon weekend in less than two weeks. I can’t wait! 🤩 #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Catching up here on a week full of workouts, some with my little workout buddy ❤️ Happy to get to the weekend because this week at work was 🤪 Keeping up my Dopey training with 4- and 5-mile runs during the week. Tomorrow I’m going for 20 miles. Hoping the force is with me. I’m going to need it, as that’s the longest distance I will have ever done in one sitting 😱 Hope everyone is having a good weekend! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Ran 6 miles to meet my parents and B at a local pumpkin patch! Celebrating my mom’s bday with a super quick trip up north this weekend! Was fun to run some of my high school cross country training routes on our way! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #sparklesquad #teamsparkle #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney #runforsocialjustice #runforchange
Happy almost-Friday! 3.8 miles this morning before work…first mile was tough with my toe being gnarly😈 but after that I felt better speeding up a bit. I just want my toe/foot strain to go away. I have races to run! I’m so excited for Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend! It’s only a few weeks away and it kicks of long-distance race season for me, since after that I have 3 more half marathons and one full marathon between January and February 🤪 Submitted a @rawthreadsathletics order late last night because @hakunamatara13 rocked the new iridescent shirt collection and I loved it so much I had to get one 🤩 Y’all excited it’s Friday? I know I am! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #rawthreadsclub #teamsparkle #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
5 running miles and 2.5 walking miles today - and I got to wear my new @rahrahs.creative.stu tank 😍 It’s definitely one of my favorite tops now 💙 Hope everyone had a nice Tuesday! Fall evenings have arrived in San Diego - it was around 50 degrees out when I walked our 🐕 tonight 🥶🥶 I’m a cold weather wimp, but I know we need rain and cooler temps to get through fire season safely. I’ll take rain and cooler temps any day! 💦💧 #supportindigenousartists #rahrahscreativestudio #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
This weekend’s Dopey training called for a 17-mile run/walk. I injured my right foot on Friday night so I was kind of dreading today’s run, but I set my bar low and just told myself to get through it and not worry about time. I ran the first 10 miles at a 12-min/mile pace…my right foot was hurting and my left foot was hurting because I was favoring my right foot and my feet were not likening my shoes anymore 🤪 So I threw on my Oofos and did run/walk for the next 5 miles on the treadmill, then I joined Matt and B for the last 2 miles walking. It took almost 4 hours…but I finished. This was my face at Mile 17 😂 Hoping this injury is better before my next long run, which will be 20 miles 😱 Hope everyone had a nice Sunday! 🥰 #dopeytraining #teamsparkle #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
4.2-mile run tonight, and the weather was perfect! Nice and cool 🥰 Got through my two 45-minute runs this week and am doing Peloton bike rides and elliptical workouts on my non-running days, and so far that’s going pretty well. I’m liking mixing it up. Excited about Peloton’s new dance cardio classes 🤩 Been a crazy week at work. So happy to be able to workout and so happy tomorrow is Friday! 🥰 #dopeytraining #crosstraining #tigger #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney #runforsocialjustice #runforchange
This weekend’s Dopey training included a 5.5-mile walk and 15-mile run/walk. I did a 4.25-mile walk yesterday before running out of time and then I ran 15.5 miles today. That’s the longest I’ve ever run in one setting. Well, technically, I ran 11.3 miles straight on the treadmill at an 11:30/mile pace, then the hubs joined for 4.2 miles of run/walk intervals around the neighborhood. Finished with a 12:28/mile pace overall, and I’m pretty happy with that. Im even happier that my ankle isn’t swelling and I wasn’t in a lot of pain during my run. I’m starting to feel like I really might be able to pull off this full marathon in January 💖 Hope y’all are having a nice weekend! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #teamsparkle #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Back to my sweaty morning runs on the treadmill, and I’m grateful to 1) have a working treadmill again, and 2) be able to run, even if it’s not fast and I’m not 100% right now. 3 miles today at 11:20 pace. One day at a time 💕 Happy almost-Friday! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners
Happy #nevermissamonday 💖 Today I had evening duty at work, so that usually equates to a 10-12 hour day, depending on when I have my first meeting of the day, but you know what I love about it? It’s like the most productive time ever because it’s usually so quiet! I can get so much done - no meetings late at night! As a bonus? I had a bit of extra time to actually run this morning - my mom is here visiting, so she watched the little guy while the hubs and I did 4 hilly miles. About a quarter mile into the run, my calf seized up again 😣 But I persisted and did run/walk intervals to give it a break here and there. Ended up averaging a 13-min mile. Not too bad considering I wasn’t able to run normally. It felt really good to run even though it didn’t feel very normal. Another silver lining: treadmill part finally came in and a local repaid guy fixed it. So for now, my Nordic Track treadmill is working again. Not gonna lie…I’m ready to throw it overboard in favor of the new @onepeloton Tread 🤣🤣 I see you instarunners out there placing your Tread orders, and I have FOMO 😂 Hope y’all had a lovely Monday! #sparklesquad #teamsparkle #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Well, this week has been one thing going awry after another. But, a 20-minutes @codyrigsby Onomatopoeia (yes, he picked songs with titles that are sounds and it was so fun) got my day started right. It was a bit rough in the middle, but I wrapped up my day working out with B at the Y - my NordicTrack treadmill is still out of commission 😒 Silver lining is that I got to workout with my sweet little guy (ran 2.5 miles) and I got a new PR for a 20-minute Peloton ride 🤩 Grateful to have workouts as an outlet. Only bummer is that somehow I strained my right calf - it seized up on me after 2.3 miles. I tried fo continue running on it, but it was too painful. Any advice on how to manage this so it doesn’t sideline my running would be welcome and appreciated 🙏🏽 Hope y’all are having a good week so far! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #teamsparkle #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
4-mile run plus 2.7 miles of walking today. This work week has been a beast. So happy tomorrow is Friday!! Hope y’all had a lovely Thursday! 😎 #crownedcrew #rungoodr #dopeytraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
So today was definitely a strange work day…but thankfully there’s running to help cope with the crazy 🤪 Bad news: My NordicTrack treadmill broke AGAIN (yes, that’s TWICE in 16 months since getting it brand new…this time it was the control board). I wasn’t a happy camper about that…I’ll spare you the gory details, but suffice it to say I prolly won’t buy another NordicTrack any time soon. Their customer service team was nice, so there’s that ☺️ Last time I had to get a replacement part from them, it took a whole month 😣 So, I’m bracing myself for another month without a treadmill. So to the streets I went tonight after an interesting work day. All that said, I’m grateful… 🙏🏽 To be able to run 🙏🏽 To live in a place with nice weather pretty much year round 🙏🏽For the running paths in my neighborhood, even if they are hilly af 😂😅 🙏🏽The reminder that I do need to train outside and on real hills sometimes 🙏🏽My sweet son who knows I need to burn off my work day with a run and is patient with me 🙏🏽That it’s a short work week And much more…see, even on a rough day, there’s so much to be grateful for 🥰 I know, I sound like Pollyanna, but this helps me get through the day 💖 That pretty much sums up my running “why.” It’s a healthy way to take on life and give myself a better perspective 💜 Hope y’all had a good Tuesday! #dopeytraining #teamsparkle #shokzsquad #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Ran 13.1 miles on Coronado today as part of my Dopey training. My weeks are kind of messed up, so I’m a bit ahead but am trying to plan around upcoming mini trips and other activities with our friends and family. I kept my pace under 11:00/mile for the first 9 miles, even had a few negative splits. I felt really good for the first 8, then things started feeling less good 😂 But I finished with a 2:30:10 time even with run/walk intervals for my last 3 miles. I also got to wear an adorable running skirt made my @kickin_magical_apparel with the new custom @dgfdesigns fabric benefiting Kellsie’s Hope Foundation 💖💛 The skirt was awesome to run in and so functional! This beautiful fabric, along with several other prints, goes on sale tomorrow - the link is included in my bio. Proceeds from the sale of the fabric will be donated to @kellsieshopefoundation 💖💛 They have many different types of fabric in each print, too 🌟 I’m running the Dopey Challenge for Kellsie’s Hope and am donating at least $100 to Kellsie’s Hope each month until Marathon Weekend 💖 If you’d like to donate any amount, the link is also in my bio. Hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend! #dopeytraining #kellsieskrew #kellsieshopefoundation #dgfdesigns #kickinmagicalapparel #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney

B and I took a long walk with the dog today and I got to do a 20-minute Peloton Disney strength training workout today, so it was a good non-run day 🥰 Even got to hear from a Peloton/runDisney friend that I haven’t connected with in awhile and it was lovely 💕 Hope everyone had a nice Sunday 💖 Sending positive vibes to start the week! #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #flygirls #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Finished my Dopey training long run for the week - technically I was supposed to do this next weekend, but we have plans, so that would have been tough to pull off. So even though I’m in Week 9 of Dopey training and should have done 3 miles, I ran 11. Not gonna lie. I was on the strugglebus for Mile 11 (see second pic 🤣) but I finished. Kept it at an 11:00-12:00/mile pace. I got to wear one of new new skirts from @kickin_magical_apparel and it was perfect for the run 💙💙 Chalk those miles up to the #flygirls team for the @instarunclub 90s challenge ✨✨ Hope everyone had a nice Saturday! #kickinmagicalapparel #dgfdesigns #teamsparkle #dopeytraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
Happy Friday, people!! 🎉✨🎉✨ It’s been quite a week, so it was hard to get up this morning, but I still dragged myself out of bed and then perked up as soon as I saw @codyrigsby ‘s Disney ride on @onepeloton 😍😍 Not only did I have a blast, I actually beat my previous PR for a 20-minute class. How could anyone not be excited to wake up to a Cody class?! 🤩 Added a 2.6-mile walk and a 10-minute core workout to keep those miles going for our @instarunclub challenge. TGIF! So excited the weekend is here! #peloton #codyrigsby #disneyride #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner
Happy almost-Friday! Early morning run before work, then another short run tonight, for a total of 4 running miles and 3.6 walking miles. 7.6 total miles for our #flygirls run team in @instarunclub ‘s 90’s-themed running challenge. My teammates are crushing their runs and workouts, so I felt like I needed to get more miles in today 😅 There’s a lot of heavy stuff in the world right now, so I am grateful to be able to work out to help cope with all of this is a more healthy way 🙏🏽 Remember to take a moment for yourselves. Take deep breaths. Practice mindfulness 🙏🏽 Be kind to yourself. Have grace with others.

Day 2 of the @instarunclub 90s-themed tram challenge: I did a 4-mile run this morning and a 2.2-mile walk tonight. Thankful to run virtually with such wonderful teammates 💙 This challenge is just what I needed - a wonderful and healthy distraction from some of the heavier things going on in the world. Grateful to Instarun Club for hosting this fun event ❤️ #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #dopeytraining #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #teamsparkle #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners #shokzsquad #progressoverperfection #allaboutthejourney
It was so fun running the San Diego Miracle Babies #5K this morning! The race was at NTC and the weather was lovely. I loved seeing all the super heroes at the starting lineup and warm up, which was so much fun! The race and fundraising are for supporting NICU parents during the most challenging times. One of our dear friends has a miracle baby/superhero herself, who is now a strong, independent preschooler after being born at 23 weeks ❤️❤️ I kept a pretty decent pace, keeping it under 10:00 for the first half of the race. I got my wires crossed near the finish and followed the runner in front of me, missing the u-turn for the last 0.1 mile 🤦🏽♀️ I went back and ran it after I realized the mixup. Might have been a PR if I hadn’t made that mistake, but maybe next time. #sandiego #miraclebabies #superhero #superherorace #teamsparkle #sparklesquad #miraclebabies5K #libertystation # #dopeytraining #crosstraining #wineanddinetraining #rundisney #dopeytraining #ladiesrundisney #disneyrunner #disneyfan #instarunclub #disnerd #womenwhorun #stayinghalfmarathonready #halfmarathontraining #motherrunner #nativerunners #nativewomenrun #calirunner #sandiegorunners #instarunners
9-mile run today - how it started versus how it’s going. I actually felt pretty good. Took it nice and easy at an 11-12-min/mile pace. It felt easy compared to my Peloton runs this week 😂😂 Week 8 of Dopey training!
