Leaving my comfort zone… one mile at a time.
Leaving my comfort zone ... one mile at a time.
I had three main objectives when heading to San Diego in May to run the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon:
1) Have a freakin' blast with the We Run Social crew (aka soak up all the love, laughs and hugs from my West Coast blogging friends)
2) Take as many pics during the race as possible - oh hey mid-run selfies!
3) Be a small part of my girl Sarah from Mom Running On Empty getting a new shiny marathon PR
23 races down in 2015... and only 11 to go!
I've been piecing together my 2015 racing schedule since completing a career-high 52 races in 2014.
I made a promise to the wife that I would pair back the schedule after overloading a lot of our weekends in 2014 with multiple races and taking over our summer with Half Ironman training.

1) Tons of Friends
2) A Celebrity Photo-Op
3) The #WeRunSocial Crew
4) Sweet Medal
Do you know where I found all of the above? The Rock 'n' Roll San Diego 5k baby!

Read MoreOn this episode of Dani Dishes, it's time to quickly recap one amazingly spectacularly awesome weekend in San Diego. That included a 5k and a marathon! Oh and the We a Run Social crew!
I saw this shirt on a girl running along the Charles River the other day! I wanted to steal it from her... then I figured if I wanted one that badly I could always buy my own.
Why did I like it so much? Because I HATE when folks put others down for their workout choices. I support folks doing WHATEVER they enjoy during as exercise.

#WOMSDayGiveaway: Enter HERE!
You ever have that dream before the night before a race or the week of where you leave a vital piece of race equipment at home?
Like your sneakers... your sports bra... or maybe even your Garmin!
Oh yeah yeah me neither. <<insert awkward face>>
Well to be honest I don't have the dream about leaving my Garmin at home as much as doing it in real life.
Yeah it happened again. Womp womp!

I'm finally giving the Squarespace app a try for blog writing! So many times I am on the road and don't really want to drag my laptop with me - especially through airport security lines. BUT I hate missing out on sharing adventures with you in the moment.
Enter the Squarespace app!
Read MoreMy name is Dani and I am blogging out of the Boston Area. I started this blog in May of 2011 after suffering a back injury and subsequent back surgery in December 2011-January 2011. This space was to serve as a way for me to release the inner feelings I was carrying around and maybe help some other people going through similar situations: eating disorders, depression, weight loss and more.
