FRIDAY FIVE LINKUP: 5 REASONS TO RUN A RACE IN COSTUME

9/11/2014

Hi all! Linkup Friday!! Thanks to our amazing hostesses: the DC Trifecta Bloggers (Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run, and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!). I am so sad with my craziness in Denver that I was not able to link up last week but I am back. 

This is such a fun and great topic! I love to follow blogs and I have some great ones to recommend (incase you don't already follow!)

**Without mention, follow our great hosts! I love reading all of their blogs and seeing all that happens in the DC area. just awesome! 

These are in no particular order-just the order I read them in this morning :) I also couldn't narrow it down so you are getting 6! 

1. Patty at No-Guilt Life
What is there not to love? She is an awesome momma and also a fellow native Texan. I love how real she is and how she shares all with her readers and she loves to have great giveaways. She loves rundisney so we get each other :) Also, I finally got to meet her the Disneyland 10k and she is just as sweet and awesome in person as you can imagine. Also, her children are adorable! 

2. Kathryn at From Dancing to Running
 I love Kathryn as I can relate to  her really well as a runner: we are around the same age and the same running speed. I appreciate that she works full-time as well and still balances all of her running. She is an inspiration to me always! and she writes some great posts :) 

3. Greg at Why I Run Disney
So Greg and I have a lot in common: we have the same birthday, live on the same street, love the USC Trojans(FIGHT ON!!) and both love to run disney. The whole idea that you are very similar to the people that have the same birthday as you seems to be true! I love how he blogs about how he has good training weeks and rough ones but we all do! I love how real and honest that is. Also, his blog posts are epic with the number of pictures he puts in them. I love it!
Not to mention him and his wife are the cutest! I enjoyed meeting both of them at Dumbo and getting to spend a bit of time with them. 

4. Jennifer at the Final Forty
Again, Jennifer is someone that is around my age and even though she is faster than me, she inspires me. Her and boyfriend are always so happy in all of their pictures, I love their positive energy. She also loves to rundisney so I am bound to get to meet her at some point! 

5. Meranda and Lacey at Fairytales and Fitness
Another set of ladies that love to rundisney! Meranda is about my speed which I love and Lacey is super fast so she inspires me to get better. I love the down to earth vibe their blog has and the wide range of topics they cover. I hope I see them at Princess or Tink this year! 

6. Janae at Hungry Runner Girl 
This girl is just a rockstar. She is a FAST runner (her half marathon PR is 1:23!!) but she keeps it real. She has gone through some injuries and loves to post about her rehab efforts and her training. She also loves to eat-I love to see all of her food pics. She is very inspiring also because she is around my age and has just officially become divorced. I know it was a tough year for her but I appreciate her blogging throughout all of it. She is just so strong and amazing-such an inspiration to women. Not to mention her daughter Brooke is just beyond adorable: it's crazy to watch Brooke grow up! 


What blogs do you also follow that I should check out?

Thanks for the shout out Juliana! It's been fun to read your blog and meet you as well. It's kind of cool to know that there's a chance to meet a blogger you've been reading because they live just down the street from you! Thanks for sharing some blogs I have not had the opportunity to check out yet. Run Disney Bloggers are the Best!
