Think I can hire these gentlemen to help me clean my house?!?!?! π‘ . . But for real, today has been such an eye opening experience... I literally cannot believe how much "stuff" I have acquired over the past few year π² I have such a new approach to life and I really plan on spending my money and time on experiences instead of acquiring "stuff". Purging all the junk in anticipation of our new place has been so freeing! We've got a ways to go but definitely got a good start today π π . . #adventureisoutthere #springcleaning #rundisney #disneyprinces #procompression #procompressionambassador #sponsored #teamsparkle #teamrundisney #princesshalf #princessfb2019 #princesshalfmarathonweekend
When we went to the #festivalofarts I wanted to badly to take a photo like this, but I didn't have a map on me, but I was determined to take the picture when we went in February for the #princesshalf. It wound up being for the best since this way I got to take it with some excellent friends too! #princessfb2019 #princesshalf2019 #epcot #festivalofarts2019

I can't believe it's only been one week since I finished my third half marathon. I got to run it with my lovely friend, @justlyjennifer, who was doing her very first. I loved being a part of her journey and getting to experience this with her. #rundisney #princesshalf #princessfb2019 #princessrunner
Missing that summer sun βοΈ and 85 degree weather as I walked around the World Showcase promenade at Epcot last weekend.

One of my favorite things to do post race is to have the medal put over my head. I always feel super awkward asking for them to do it when so many try to just hand it to you (not that I blame them, were made of ick after these races). I just love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with this action. #rundisney #princesshalf #fairytalechallenge #princesshalf2019 #princessfb2019 #wonderwoman
It's no secret that I love runDisney β€οΈ The atmosphere, the people, the characters, the feeling you get being surrounded by thousands of people who have the same interests as you... It's truly a unique experience. Yes, I enjoy being competitive and chasing after PRs... but there are other races to do that. @rundisney events bring together people who have a common interest of having fun and getting healthy all while supporting each other. . . I met Nicole @bookishnicole in September while at the Disneyland Paris races. We instantly connected when we were waiting in the corrals for the race to start and have become #bestrunningfriends ππΌββοΈππ»ββοΈ We live thousands of miles apart but you'd never know it. . . While at Princess Weekend we thought it was only fitting to take our picture at the France pavilion in Epcot to commemorate where our awesome friendship began. I am so thankful for the friends I have made through the runDisney community. Looking forward to our next adventure together!!!

11 years ago today I suffered a stroke as a sophomore in college walking to my University bookstore. Today, I completed day three of Princess Weekend and my 15th half marathon. . . We've only got one life to live so make sure to make the most of it each and every day. Don't be afraid to take chances and don't ever apologize for doing what you love.

β€οΈ Happy Valentine's Day β€οΈ . . 2.14 recovery miles with my guy for Valentine's Day. We just barely beat the sunset tonight. It was "warm" enough to take the run outdoors which was the first time in many, many weeks I've been able to do that. I'm ready for this cold weather, snow, and ice to pass but thankful everyday to have a guy willing to do all these crazy things with me πβ€οΈ . . #winterrunning #valentinesday #love #coupleswhoruntogether #skratchlete #skratchlabs #procompressionambassador #keepittight #procompression #sponsored #lululemon #thesweatlife #princessfb2019 #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #garmin #garminfitness #nikerunning #nikewomen

π°πΈπΌ 2 Weeks!!! πΈπΌπ° . . If I'm being honest, this is the first time in about six weeks I am excited that Princess Weekend is almost here. Having an injury can be an incredibly humbling experience and remind you what you might take for granted everyday. I decided to try for a "long" run today to make sure my Super Bowl Sunday 5K wasn't a spoof. I am SOOO happy to report I was able to do all 6.5 miles today pain free! . . I am thankful that taking the necessary time off and listening to my body as I went through recovery has paid off. I'm not π―% in the clear just yet but I can confidently say I believe I will be able to run the entire half marathon in two weeks. . . The time off really allowed me to challenge my nutrition intake (I have cut out soda completely - thank you @skratchlabs β€οΈ and most processed foods) and get creative with other workouts. I'm happy with the progress and super motivated to keep moving forward! β€οΈπΈπΌπ° . . #princesshalfmarathonweekend #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #rundisney #runmatchy #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #garmin235 #beatyesterday #procompression #procompressionambassador #sponsored #skratchlabs #skratchlete #madefromskratch #womensrunningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #sarahmariedesignstudio #smdsambassador
Due to illness I wasnβt able to workout for 45 days! First time back at the gym and still did a sub 43 minutes 5k! Iβll take it! Now to get ready for the Princess Glass Slipper Challenge In 2 weeks! #princessfb2019
So thankful for the sun βοΈ and warmer temps for our 10 mile run. I think we can conquer 13.1 in three weeks. #princesshalfmarathon #rundisney #princessfb2019
Trying to get my groove back after trip to drop DD off in Florida to work for Mickey and the Polar Vortex of 2019. Sweaty good run trying a different intervals. #princessfb2019 #fairytailchallenge #travelagentswhorun #gallowayrunner #stupidoclockrunners
The snow is melting (although will be coming back very soon) so I think I am going to attempt my first run outside tomorrow in over a month π² This injury has been no joke and has been a very humbling experience. Last week was the first week I felt I was taking a small step forward in my recovery. Still a long way to go, but making the most of it! . . Princess Weekend is just 19 short days away so there's not much time left! I had a super tough RPM class today followed by 1 hour of lifting. I was absolutely beat all day... love those kind of workouts π€ͺ Here's to hoping all the cross training will pay off and keep my endurance up enough to finish these three races! . . #winterrunning #winterwonderland #snow #skratchsaturdays #skratchlete #skratchthesummit #procompression #procompressionambassador #sponsored #princessfb2019 #trainingforthetiara #fairytalechallenge #intraining #rundisney #runnersofinstagram #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #lululemon #thesweatlife
Actually leaving the house today for a workout when my gym opens back up at noon! π So for now I'll post a fun #tbt picture from our snow day excursion Monday! I will say the @procompression Marathon elites keep my feet nice and toasty during these cold temperatures π₯Ά The new colors are amazing! π . . I'll be happy to see this polar vortex pass so I can get back outside and mail can be delivered again π I feel like I'm rationing out the remainder of my @skratchlabs sport hydration mix, I'm down to my samples π², until my new stuff arrives (π€it will be tomorrow). . . #procompression #procompressionambassador #sponsored #keepittight #winterrunning #winterwonderland #polarvortex #midwest #midwestrunner #skratchlabs #skratchlete #skratchambassador #skratchthesummit #nikewomen #lululemon #thesweatlife #womensrunningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #justrun #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #intraining #rundisney #runshots #throwbackthursday #teampixel
It may be -55 degees with wind chill outside π₯Ά, work cancelled for two days, and my gym may be closed until noon tomorrow- but that's no reason to get off track! So thankful that I have a go to drink for when I'm not getting in a sweat shesh but looking for something with flavor. ππ§ . . Truth: I used to ALWAYS grab for a fountain Mountain Dew from the gas station (yes, I'd leave the house in any conditions to go fill up, and no, not diet π). Then I found @skratchlabs Anytime Hydrationπ¦π§. Perfect for those times you are craving more than just water but don't need all the extras from those sports drinks. A product literally made from #skratch with no artificial flavors or any of that other junk your body doesn't need. If you haven't experienced Skratch yet, I'd totally recommend giving it a shot! So many great flavors and options to choose from- surely something for everyone!

Todayβs run included a lot of bad words ππΌββοΈfor the first two miles (which I have asked for forgiveness), 31 degrees which if anyone knows me, knows Iβm a complete wimp if itβs below 70, A LOT of litter which mostly included little airplane liquor bottles every 30 feet on Big Springs RD (yβall stay safe on that stretch of road because apparently thatβs where people go to get their drink on), and only 7 miles when it should have been 12, but thatβs all the time we could squeeze in today. #princesshalfmarathon #rundisney #princessfb2019

#skratchsaturdays π¦ Sometimes you have to just roll with it... . . I went to the gym for the first time in 15 days! Still can't run, climb, or much else with my leg other than a light bike, but I did get in a good lifting session. I may not be able to train how I expected for these last 33 days leading up to Princess but I do plan to make the most of them. I'll do what my leg will allow in the gym but I also plan to focus on things I can control- like my diet and nutrition. Trying to eat healthier with more fruits and veggies, less processed foods, and I even ordered a multivitamin to start taking!

What a start to a beautiful Friday! Coach had me do a toughy of a workout before my short "long" run tomorrow to tire the legs. I would say it was successful. I had two miles holding sub 9mm π³ and eight one minute pushes tagged on the end (all held 7:30 or under). It was a doozy but also awesome! I know to get faster I need to go faster and this workout did just that! ππΌββοΈππΌββοΈππΌββοΈ I have to also give a quick shout-out to my training partner throughout this journey (aside from my hubby @running_experiments). I have been using @skratchlabs since starting my training back in May for the Chicago Marathon. I must say what a huge difference it has made for me in training, performance, and faster recovery. It's super easy to digest mid runs and doesn't leave me feeling groggy or uncomfortable like some sports drinks tend to do. Super glad my coach introduced me to Skratch back in May! π§ππΌββοΈπ§ππΌββοΈπ§ #skratchlabs #skratchthesummit #irunonskratch #skratchlife #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #rundisney #intraining #runshots #winterrunning #womensrunningcommunity

New Year, New Goals! πͺ Decided my @momentumjewelry bracelet said it best for my New Year's goal . This year I plan to have more COURAGE, take more chances, and push my comfort zone when it comes to running. If I want to get faster, I need to run faster. I tend to fall into a "comfortable" pace more often than not even though I know my body is capable of more. I also really want to focus this year on KINDNESS. Kindness to those around me, people I don't know, and even myself. I am definitely my own worst critic and I want to focus on positive talk and greater understanding. No more getting in my own way. . I also plan to #runmatchy way more because that's just fun! ππππΌββοΈ Happy New Year friends! . . #newyear #2019 #momentumjewelry #findyourspark #sharethespark #procompression #procompressionambassador #sponsored #keepittight #headsweats #garmin #garminfitness #beatyesterday #runnersofinstagram #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #nike #nikewomen #nikerunning #runnersofig #teamrundisney #seenonmyrun #winterrunning #everyrunhasapurpose

901 milesππΌββοΈ #livingmybestlife π . . . I can't believe 2018 is almost over. It seems like just yesterday I was gearing up for my third Dopey Challenge back in January. I think it's safe to say 2018 was my best year yet. I got to do so many cool things, traveled to Berlin, Germany and Paris, France, and met some really awesome people along the way. I visited Walt Disney World 3 times (two for race weekends) and went to Disneyland Paris for the first time! I helped raise money for clean water for communities in Africa while training for the Chicago Marathon. I took random road trips and bike trips with the family and convinced them all how much fun running can be π. I was also selected to be a @procompression and @honeystinger ambassador which is just so cool! . . . Did I achieve all my goals in 2018? Definitely not. But that's what life is about. If we get them all in one go around, we wouldn't have anything to keep working for! So, while I achieved a 5K and 10K PR, I'm still working for that half marathon and marathon. 2018 I figured out what it takes to train... 2019 isn't about "trying" anymore- it's going to be about getting it done. . . . #bringon2019 #bestyearyet #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #rundisney #princessfb2019 #intraining #princesshalfmarathonweekend #procompression #procompressionambassador #keepittight #hshive #honeystinger #nikewomen #nikerunning #lululemon #thesweatlife #teamrundisney #teamsparkle #momentumjewelry #findyourspark #sharethespark #garmin235 #garminfitness #happynewyear
Last run of 2018- ended December with 55 miles, biggest monthly mileage of 2018! Finished the year with 420 miles, maybe 500 miles in 2019 should be my goal?!? #rundisney #princessfb2019 #trainingforlife #bettertogether #stupidoclock
βοΈππΌββοΈβοΈ Today's long run tested my will. It had snowed a few days earlier and the temps have been cold that none of it really melted. The first 3 miles were slick, snow covered crushed sand. I really had to control my footing so I wouldn't fall (my shoes are not equipped for this kind of terrain π). Thankfully, I didn't give up and the last 6.5 miles were great. Also thankful to my husband @running_experiments for turning around and getting the truck to meet me later on the trail so I wouldn't have to experience the first 3 miles over again ππ€£ Happy Sunday Runday friends! βοΈππΌββοΈβοΈππΌββοΈβοΈ . . . . #sundayrunday #princessfb2019 #princesshalfmarathonweekend #fairytalechallenge #intraining #rundisney #runshots #lululemon #thesweatlife #procompression #procompressionambassador #keepittight #goodr #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #runnersofinstagram #teamrundisney #winterrunning #nikewomen #nikerunning

We had some hill work on the schedule for today's run. It also snowed last night... π³ Still got the hills in, a little slower than expected, but I think I may have worked harder trying to stay up right π€£ Beautiful morning out in the state park with the family! Looking forward to a nice long run tomorrow. Hoping the paths clear out a little because I really don't want to do the run on the #dreadmill ππΌββοΈ Happy Saturday! #procompression #procompressionambassador #keepittight #lululemon #thesweatlife #skratchlabs #skratchthesummit #runnersofinstagram #runshots #nike #nikerunning #nikewomen #snow #winterrunning #princessfb2019 #teamrundisney #rundisney
Today I am one day closer to finishing my goal like Chewy ππ itβs been a rough two weeks falling and injuring my knee, an ear infection, holidays and just fighting off being sick overall had me struggling through. Today may have been turtle miles but I finished my goal a 9.5 mile run ππππ.... now to die in my tub with a muscle soak bath bomb π #disneyprincesshalfmarathon2019 #training #runningmotivation #ididit #howfarillgo #princessfb2019 #princessintraining
I got to test out my new running shoes today! I originally switched to the @nike Zoom Fly Flyknits a few months ago because they were recommended to train in if you planned on racing in the Zoom Vaporfly 4%. They have really grown on me and I actually love the feel of them more than my Sauconys. πππΌββοΈ I plan to make the most of my time off getting back on track with my routine as I prep for Princess Weekend. Always a great day when I can train with my family! Today was some intervals and speed work with recovery. I just hope I didn't scare away @aidansosnowski from ever running with me again π #fairytalechallenge #princesshalfmarathonweekend #princessfb2019 #rundisney #intraining #runnersofinstagram #lululemon #thesweatlife #procompression #keepittight #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #garminfitness #garmin #goodr #nikerunning #nikewomen
Merry Christmas Insta-Family! π My parents got me some new @lululemon running gear that I of course had to try out this morning. ππΌββοΈ I think my @procompression Christmas socks tied it all together nicely π The hubby @running_experiments is in Oklahoma this Christmas celebrating with his family so we decided to do a Christmas run "together" today as he gets closer to finishing his 5K a day for December. I also got a new pair of running shoes from my sister @roxannesosnowski and family that I cannot wait to break in tomorrow! I hope you all are having a fantastic Christmas with your families β€οΈπ π¦β #christmastime #christmas2018 #procompression #keepittight #lululemon #thesweatlife #garminfitness #beatyesterday #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #goodr #runnersofinstagram #princessfb2019 #rundisney #intraining #fairytalechallenge
Two sweaty miles done! Seriously overdressed for running on Christmas Day. π
Merry Christmas Eve! ππ π¦β Decided to try out PSX (similar to CrossFit) with my dad- he's been going for about 2 years and finally convinced me. They did a 12 Days and Christmas workout and it was great! I was super nervous to try something like this for the first time but I'm so happy I went. Also, isn't my dad awesome for rockin' his CrossFit Ugly Sweater?!?!? I mean look at π pumpin' that iron π #psx #12daysofchristmas #christmaseve #lululemon #thesweatlife #nike #crossfit #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #intraining #princesshalfmarathonweekend
. It's #nationaluglysweaterday π This is definitely a holiday I can get behind! It also happens to be the last day of school for 2018 which means the first day of Christmas break! Did a nice 10K progression run today! Felt great rockin' my #uglysweater @procompression socks and @headsweats hat! β€οΈ So thankful to feel like myself again out on the road! What a great way to start break! ππΌββοΈ Happy Fri-YAY! #procompression #keepittight #headsweats #keepacoolhead #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #intraining #lululemon #thesweatlife #rundisney #runnersofinstagram #teamrundisney #nikerunning #nike #hshive #stingorbestung #fbf
Teachers be chasing after Christmas break like... ππΌββοΈπ©πΌβπ«π Tomorrow is the last day of finals for our kiddos then it's two weeks off! Slowly adding the miles back without worrying too much about pace right now. Looking forward to reestablishing my workout routine and coming back strong to finish out these last 9 weeks before #princesshalfmarathonweekend ππΈπΌ Also, everything is always better with a new pair of @procompression socks 𧦠Quickly becoming one of my favorite running accessories πβ€οΈ #procompression #keepittight #runnersofinstagram #princessfb2019 #princesshalfmarathon #fairytalechallenge #intraining #rundisney #saucony #lululemon #thesweatlife #teamrundisney #womensrunningcommunity
This winter rain storm wonβt keep me from doing these 8 miles! Might be a few days late from the training calendar, but Damn it all if Iβm not going to try! #princessfb2019
Great day for a 5K! β€οΈππΌββοΈ Still taking it super easy because the hamstring doesn't feel π―% yet but not running was driving me crazy. I'm taking it slow and listening to my body but I'm just glad to get out there. Happy Wednesday! Two more days teacher friends! We can do this! π©πΌβπ« #princessfb2019 #fairytalechallenge #princesshalfmarathon #rundisney #intraining #procompression #keepittight #lululemon #thesweatlife #chimarathon2018 #runnersofinstagram #teamrundisney #nikerunning #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #garminfitness
