It’s time to sit down once again and chat about things other than just running and training. Today’s focus, though, will mostly be about the race I’m about to run… If we were having coffee….. I’d tell you that today at 8:15 AM, I will be lining up to run in the Fiesta 5K, a […]
‘Twas the night before race day when all through the town Not a runner was stirring, they were all lying down. Their shoes were placed by the back door with care In hopes new PR’s would soon be theirs. The Cruisers were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of age group wins danced in their heads. And […]
On Thursday I picked up my race packet for the Firecracker 5K in Reston Town Center. Packet pick-up was at Potomac River Running and I got in and out in a breeze! Since last year’s shirt was a little tight, I ordered a medium this year and it fits perfectly. The color is a […]
Two weeks ago I enjoy participating in the Friday Five linkup so much that I’ve decided to join in on the fun again! DC area bloggers Courtney at Eat Pray Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What?!, and Mar at Mar on the Run! are the clever bloggers behind the linkup.

I’ll be back […]
Since today is packet pick-up for the Ashburn Farm Thanksgiving Day 2K/5K/10K, I thought I’d write a recap of the previous years that Bill and I have run in this local Thanksgiving morning turkey trot. We estimate that we’ve run the race about 10-15 times, and some of our friends have run it every year. […]
Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful mom and to all of my mom readers out there! Before I talk about my special day today, I have huge news to share with you from last evening! Joseph went out on a long run yesterday afternoon… a 26.2-mile run to be exact! Bill and I walked to […]
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, today’s focus will be on the color green, and Leprechauns… My legs felt great this morning after my 15-mile run yesterday with Beth, so I decided to go on an easy 6-mile run with my Sunday morning BRF’s Susan and Shawn. I’m feeling a comeback, baby! I really do […]
