We’re not in Disneyland anymore…
You KNOW I had to sneak in some Disneyland photos, right? Muahah!
Anyway, this post is actually NOT about Disney, but about the other big part of my blog – RUNNING! And all the fun stuff that is happening this spring!
You can get all the deets on my RUNNING tab, but this spring is certainly looking bright – April is the month of #alltheraces, but as a tune up, I started into a new training plan TODAY for my next race, which takes place in one month:
So, it might not be the February 24th half marathon that a lot of my other pals are running, but it’s local-ish and get this, starts at 1 PM! Wow! Should be interesting, I have never done a midday race!!
After the half, I will be transitioning into a 15-week marathon training plan for my SPRING key race…
Yup, y’all already knew I was ambassador-ing this race, but after mulling it over, I have decided to train for the San Francisco Marathon as an A race for the spring! June 16 – it has lots of great benefits: ideal weather, lots of crowd support and beautiful surroundings…and yeah, it is challenging, but I’m running it already, so why not make it as great as I possibly can? WATCH OUT, I am coming for ya, SF! 
I know that I can PR – closer to the race, I will re-evaluate if a BQ time is within my grasp…and will continue to search for fall opportunities as well (see this post for more on that) so I am feeling really positive and confident. In fact, I will illustrate just how excited I am…
The sky’s the limit!
…you really didn’t think you could leave this post without another Disney pic, didjya?

What’s your spring look like?
I’m running colonial too! My mom is coming in town so we are excited about a weekend in Colonial Williamsburg.
So cool! I am very excited about this race. I have only done one Williamsburg event in the past (Christmastown 8K, which I would definitely recommend).
Oooh a 1pm race start sounds pretty awesome! Sleeping in, being all warmed up and awake for a race sounds awesome to me!
I am usually a morning person, but since this race is 2 hours away-ish, it’ll be nice to not have to spend the night
It looks like you will have a busy spring! Not sure if I would like a 1pm race start or not. I think I would feel sluggish! My spring is going to be busy with races too! I have a half marathon at the end of Feb that I am kind of nervous about because I haven’t raced that distance since I got injured last year. Hopefully it goes good!
I was intrigued by the 1 PM start! I’ll have to report back after we’ve done it, lol! The thing about this race is that it’s about 2 hours away, packet pick up is same day starting at 10 so I will prob leave here around 9 AM – should work out well!
I’m running a half 2/24 too!
I was even considering the SF full as my first marathon – it seems a little intimidating though.
Good luck!!
Definitely join us at SF!!!! We would love to have you! An intimidating first full is actually a great idea in my opinion because if you decide to continue with marathons, your next one is a guaranteed PR
Your spring schedule is so exciting!! Really eager to hear about your next SF experience. I am running the NYC Half, Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, DC Half (duh!), and NJ Long Branch Half. So excited about all of them!
Hope to see you this spring!!!!
It sounds like you are going to have a very exciting Spring schedule!
Thanks, Steph! I am stoked!
I’m running Colonial, too! You can spot me in the gold MASSEY RUNS WITH ME jersey, I’ll be in the back.
Exciting!! Hope to see you there, weather permitting I will be wearing the San Francisco Marathon Ambassador singlet!
