Twelve runners, two vans, 206.7 miles to cover, and an estimated 36 hours to finish – that’s the adventure that our team, We Thought You Said Rum, had ahead of us last week. Equally daunting will be my effort to tell the story of our incredible adventure in just four short posts starting with today’s 2016 Ragnar DC Recap Part […]
It’s here! My long awaited Ragnar DC with my son Daniel and his girlfriend Jess starts tomorrow at 6:15 AM when the first runner in Van 1 starts running.

My regular readers know that I’m a pretty positive person, but sometimes a girl has got to vent and today I’m dumping on Ragnar’s unisex versus women’s cut race shirts harebrained decision… I just tried on my Ragnar Trail Richmond shirt, and I am not happy. Ragnar switched our shirts from men’s/women’s sizing to unisex shirts; […]

Yesterday, I left off my Ragnar Trail Richmond recap as I was snuggling into my sleeping bag, hoping to get a few hours sleep before my teammate Jenny woke me after her run. Meagan had planned to sleep in our tent as well, but decided to stay in her own single-person tent located slightly farther away […]
Last weekend marked my fourth Ragnar Relay, Ragnar Trail Richmond. After several years of turning down my friend, Chuck, when invited to join his team, I finally drank the Ragnar Kool-Aid and ran Ragnar DC in 2014 with my Cruiser friends – Chuck included. Having had a fabulous time, I eagerly joined our MRTT team to run Ragnar Trail Appalachians […]

Running in a trail relay is a lot of work. This morning as I headed out the door, I turned to my husband and said, “This is a lot of work and I haven’t even started running.” Earlier this week I started setting things aside as I thought of them or saw them laying around […]

Last year’s experience running Ragnar DC with my Cruiser friends was something like I’d never experienced before and I knew that I had to return! And return I have – twice. In June, I joined my MRTT team for Ragnar Trail Appalachians WV, and just last week I joined Moms RUN This Ragnar (again, my […]
Exhausted, sleep-deprived, cold, and wet; yet delirious with joy, my amazing MRTT team ran 200.5 miles from Cumberland, Maryland to Washington, DC in just over 35 hours completing the 2015 Ragnar DC… And it’s weekends like this, that memories are made from! Later this week I hope to start recapping our Ragnar DC adventure. […]
It’s that time again! It’s time to shack up in a van with a bunch of my favorite running people and hit the road for a 34-hour overnight relay. This is my third Ragnar, second DC, first Ragnar without my buddy Meagan, and it will be my second time representing my MRTT chapter. I’m runner […]

I woke up to rain and a flash flood warning yesterday morning, but with no storms on the immediate horizon I met my MRTT friends for an eight-mile run. Personally I think running in the summer rain is delightful, so there really weren’t any complaints coming from me. Now that I have my GoPro and […]
