Leaving my comfort zone… one mile at a time.
Leaving my comfort zone ... one mile at a time.
Mish Mash = Brain Dump :P
Thursdays are the longest workdays of my week and the most emotional. It kind of goes hand-in-hand when you work in such a sensitive topic such as weight loss. I embrace it and understand it. That being said it doesn't make it any easier - for me. So I turn to you social media...
Read MoreHow does one sum up the Ragnar Relay experience? Can it be done in a word? Can it be done in a sentence? Can it even be done within a blog post or two?
i really don't think so. Or rather I don't think I can put into words how much this race changed me... for the better. But I am open to trying my best! Are you ready to take the journey with me?

Read More... freakin' out!
You'd think having done a few of these before the nerves would settle even a tad.
Well not at all!
Read MoreJust another weekend I didn't want to see end. I feel like a broken record on Mondays, but it is a blessing to have the experiences that make me dread a Monday. Right?
And the past few days didn't disappoint.
Read MoreDo you have one of those can't miss local races? I have a few, but one of the tops is definitely the M.O.Ms Run 5k on Mother's Day in Somerville.
The wife and I have run in this race every year since moving back to Boston from Chicago. Now I wanted to make sure 2015 would be no different.

Dance, skip, sing, laugh and selfie your way through the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) 5k of course!
And I did just that this year.
2015 would be the fourth year I would be running the 5k and third as a shakeout run for the Big Show. Now in the past two years I had run too fast for a shakeout run. Yeah I got a little caught up in the "race" portion of it. Hey it happens when I run alone.
Read MoreOn this episode of #DaniDishes, I'm giving a quick and emotional recap of my first Ragnar Relay experience!
As Tedy Bruschi says: The Boston Marathon is the Super Bowl of Marathons.
For the third year in a row, I had the honor and privilege to take part in this historic race as a member of the amazing family that is Tedy's Team. Tedy's Team raises awareness about Stroke and I run in honor of my Stroke Heroes - both of my grandparents and my Father-in-law Jim.
In the past three years, I have raised $23,412.37 to #FightStroke. A big thank you is owed to all of you lovely readers for your support over this time. I wouldn't have hit that amazing milestone without all of you. :)
The entire weekend was amazing as always and will be recapped in additional posts, but now it is time to focus on the BIG SHOW - Race Day.

On this edition of #DaniDishes, I'm talking about the mental side of the weight-loss/fitness journey! Do you also struggle with banishing the "old" thoughts/views or yourself & accepting the new?
My 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.
