I had a solid running week until I got to Saturday, and as planned, I took Saturday and Sunday off for a very special reason. Funny thing is, I ran on my own wedding day. I don’t remember how far I ran, but I definitely remember going for an early morning run! Monday I started […]
It’s time for Friday Five linkup with DC area bloggers Courtney at Eat Pray Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What?!, and Mar at Mar on the Run! Each week Courtney, Cynthia, and Mar either suggest a theme for that week’s Friday Five Linkup, or leave it up to individual bloggers to come up with their own Free Friday […]
On Saturday, at the end of our run we had a going away breakfast for one of our MRTT chapter leaders. Since we had some extra time, we decided to try a group jump picture. It turned out so well that I decided to write a tutorial on how to take the perfect jump picture. […]
As I’m gearing up for three big fall races, I’ve bumped up my training, and in doing so, I’m enjoying being outdoors as much as possible. Monday I stuck with my promise to myself and lifted weights on Monday morning early before my first client arrived. I was also able to sneak in a 4.65 […]
My friend Erin just added the most amazing piece of equipment to her running gear collection, a selfie stick… Yes, I said it, a selfie stick… complete with a Bluetooth remote control. For months, our MRTT group and I have been posting group-run selfies that Erin is kind enough to take. I let her think […]

I ran my last marathon on November 12, 2011. At the time, I didn’t realize that my marathon career was pretty much over… I know that I could run another marathon, but seriously, how many do I need to run? I have 40 under my belt and shouldn’t I just be happy with that? I […]
I’m linking up again this month with Amanda at The Lady Okie and Becka at Sunshine To The Square Inch for their Runner’s Tell All monthly linkup. Be sure to pop over to their blogs to see what they have to say on today’s topic, and to see who else is linking up. This month, […]
Last week was another good week for running, and since everyone seemed to enjoy last week’s workout recap, I’m going to make it a weekly event! Monday I almost always rest from cardio on Mondays, but try to get a good weight lifting session and core workout completed on my non-cardio day. After about 30 […]

Today’s post was written by my fun and crazy Moms RUN This Town friend, Erin. She and Amanda ran in the Ragnar/Pacers Mini-Relay (sponsored by Brooks Running) on Saturday evening and I’m seriously regretting not letting them talk me into joining them! Without further ado, here’s Erin’s recap… A few weeks ago, Pacers (a DC […]
Last summer, I connected with Laura from Write The Happy Ending after learning that she was training to run the Thunder Road Half Marathon blindfolded to honor her sister Taylor, and to bring attention to Batten Disease, the fatal rare disease that afflicts her sister. I was so touched by Taylor’s story that in August, […]
Joining my local MRTT chapter was one of the best things for my running. Of course as with all things, you get out of it, what you put into it. I happen to be fortunate enough to be part of a very active and fun chapter. It’s very easy to want to meet these ladies […]

I wasn’t the mother that put a mirror under my baby’s nose to make sure he was breathing. In fact, I was a very relaxed new mom and I’m not sure why, but I think it had to do with faith. I had faith that the good Lord above was looking over my family; and […]
Notice anything different about the look of my blog? I’m considering myself lucky, very lucky… This morning I updated my theme and this is what I got. It’s never a good thing to see those two words, “Fatal error.” Fortunately, I always backup my website before updating anything. A quick Goggle search showed that other […]
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 […]

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. Each week Courtney, Cynthia, and Mar either suggest […]
Saturday morning I drove to Marion to meet Meagan for a trail run at Hungry Mother State Park. Bill and I ran there a couple of times in October and loved it so much that we decided to run the half marathon scheduled for this spring. The only problem was that the race was moved […]
Last Wednesday I drove to my mom’s house to visit for several days. I had a beautiful sunny drive through the Shenandoah and Roanoke valleys, and today I’m making the return journey back home. Mom’s Internet was down while I was there, so I could only get online when I drove into town and used […]
