#Disneyland10k Race Recap + My Birthday Weekend

Posted on September 14, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Disneyland 10k, Lilo and Stitch, race recap, runDisney | 4 Comments

Initially I had wanted to run the Disneyland 10k in 2013 to commemorate my 40th birthday, but by the time I went to register, it was too late & it had sold out. In a way it was a good thing because this year’s 10k race theme happened to be Lilo & … [Read more...]

As a busy, work-at-home mom, there are days where I just don’t have time to get to the gym to workout.
