As race day for the ZOOMA Half Marathon on the Cape approached, my mind silently plotted a time goal. Normally I am quite vocal about what I am aiming for during a race, but this one I wanted to keep under wraps.
Why?
I'm really not sure. It isn't out of the ordinary for me to set at least 3 levels of race goals so that I can accomplish at least one of them and feel pleased with the outcome of the race - whatever that may be.
But it had been awhile since I had set a time goal for a half marathon.

Well that was a start, but there was the small detail of a training plan that needed to be addressed. I haven't followed a really structured training plan in a couple of years. Outside of my long runs that were set by Tedy's Team for the past couple of Boston Marathons. Now I am not recommending this plan to folks - haha - it's just what ended up transpiring in my life. I was kind of winging the weekday workouts, which didn't really bring me the results I wanted. Shocking I know. ;)
So this time around, I wanted a little more structure. I had dabbled in the idea of getting a running coach, but that wasn't in the financial cards.
Read MoreI love sharing stories with others. For me each race medal encompasses the run, the story and the lessons learned while on the course.
So I launched #MedalMonday yesterday - a weekly Periscope where I share the story behind one of my 100+ medals.

Am I right?
Of course I am! ;)
On August 16, I toed the line for the third time at the Falmouth Road Race and the second representing Tedy's Team!
Read MoreDid you all know I love me some race medals?
Yes 5 medal racks is TOTALLY necessary and a great way to decorate my house!
Right? Right?
I think I heard a resounding YES!! :)
Race bling is one of my favorite part of running. Each medal has a special story and I want to share them with each of you.

In case you missed my announcement last week, I am partnering with Essentia Water for the best hydration possible as I train for the Rock 'n' Roll Savannah Full Marathon.
Woo hoo!!
The #EssentiaMoments challenge is simple...
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.
