Disneyland Adventure Part 2: My review of The Happiest Place on Earth!

Up until I actually got there, very few of my thoughts about going to Disneyland had anything to do with the actual Happiest Place on Earth. My primary focus up until the day Llisa and I left for California was the race (the day we left my focus shifted to not missing any flights or read more »

Disneyland Adventure Part 1: The TinkerBell Half Marathon!

My friends, it’s official: I, Sara Hamil, am a half marathoner. I’m still having a hard time processing what happened last weekend. I spent so much time leading up to it preparing and obsessing that it’s hard to believe it’s already over. In the days since I’ve tried my best to relive the morning of read more »

OMG CALIFORNIA

At this point, Llisa and I have (hopefully) been up since some ungodly hour.

There’s something about stepping over that point-of-no-return that makes working toward a goal so much more real. Actually, that whole point-of-no-return thing is probably exactly that “something” I’m referring to but, whatever. When we set a goal for ourselves, I think we all have that point when it shifts from a fanciful “wouldn’t it be read more »

It’s a Race! Or Two! Kinda!

Yes! It’s true! I’ve got not one but TWO races planned for the next year with my friend, Llisa! And not just any two races but two fairy themed races. I swear we didn’t plan it that way. It just happened. Originally we had talked about doing two half marathons; the Tinker Bell Half Marathon read more »
