It may not be Spirit of the Marathon III, but we have our very own Cruiser and MilesRun movie! I just received this YouTube video that Paul Mr. Incredible put together after Miles’ Annual Blueberry Pancake Run on Saturday! In addition to riding his bike and providing us with music along the way, he stopped […]
On January 24, 2008, the Cruisers met at a local movie theater to view Spirit of the Marathon. The documentary followed six marathon runners training for the 2005 Chicago Marathon. The film was made for a limited one-night-only release at select movie theaters, and we were very lucky that it was showing nearby. We arrived […]
Happy Father’s Day, a week early! Our family has started a tradition of going to Sunset Hills Winery to celebrate Father’s Day. My friend Diane and her husband own this gorgeous winery. In addition to their beautiful tasting room in their old barn (that was totally renovated by the Amish), they have a great outdoor […]
This morning my friend Miles and several of the members of his running group (MilesRun) joined the Cruisers for Miles’ Annual Blueberry Pancake Run. The Cruisers usually travel to Maryland for the event, but this year Miles wasn’t able to host it, so Bill and I volunteered. My friend Rich surprised me with this banner […]
Guess what the Cruisers are doing tomorrow! I’ll give you a hint: It starts with a group run with another very special running group. Here are two photos that might help… Mmmmm…. chocky milk! My fingers are crossed that Tropical Storm Andrea will move out of here before dawn! Don’t forget to enter my giveaway […]
Just as Tropical Storm Andrea hits the east coast, my new Runner’s World Magazine arrived in the mail. If I can train my clients tomorrow morning plus get my chores done, perhaps I can curl up during the rainy afternoon and read it from cover-to-cover. This month is a special issue covering the Boston bombings. […]
This morning I woke up like a little kid on Christmas morning because it’s National Running Day! If you remember, 100 days ago today I started the countdown in my post Sunny Sunday! First thing I’m going to do today is go for a run with my BRF Susan, and then later today I’m running […]
I hope you’re having a fabulous National Running Day! Just to celebrate this special day, I’m going on two runs today! This morning I ran with my BRF Susan. We ran hill repeats and then ran our regular Wednesday morning route. The Cruisers are meeting for a special mid-week group run on the W&OD Trail […]
I always look forward to my mid-June runs through our neighborhood because we have so many mulberry bushes growing wild along the trails. I don’t assume, I KNOW my run will be interrupted with a mid-run snack! Here we go round the mulberry bush, The mulberry bush, The mulberry bush. Here we go round the […]
THIS GUY ran all around my face BEFORE I knocked him off and stomped him with my foot! My only regret is that I didn’t get a video of him running around in circles and me screaming! Actually, I think my client screamed louder than I did. She could see the spider. I couldn’t… BUT […]
This week is going to be the BEST. WEEK. EVER because I get to meet the Cruisers twice this week! We are meeting on Wednesday at 7 PM to celebrate National Running Day! We’re just going to meet at the W&OD Trail for an easy post-workday run with no fancy expectations. A Wednesday run will […]
Today was the third annual Virginia Wine Country Half-Marathon, and my third time running it! The Cruisers met this morning at Doukenie Winery for the race and our mandatory pre-race picture. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find Vamshi or Amit before the race. Little country roads lead to the winery and with so many runners trying to […]
