Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links… It’s that time of year when trying to figure out what to give your favorite runner or active family member can leave you frazzled. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, and in the spirit of the season, I wrote a little song about why it’s easier to shop online… […]
Let’s face it, Christmas shopping can be a drag when searching for the perfect gift for even the most special person on our list; and it can be even more difficult to come up with wish list ideas for ourselves. With this in mind, I’ve put together a list of gift ideas for runners, complete with links […]
One day several years ago, my BRF decided it was time she sat me down for a running clothes intervention. She gently introduced the tender topic by giving me a new pair of running shorts and a top. Next she implored that I throw away the dingy white top, stretched out gray sports bra, and […]
Back in the fall, our local meteorologists were predicting a snowier than normal winter for us – something about El Niño, La Niña, El Snowman, or something like that. Anyway, Bill and I talked about getting a treadmill for our home gym so we wouldn’t have to miss any of our winter runs. I stopped […]
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 think most runners will agree that being over-dressed for a run is pretty miserable, and new runners often ask me how to dress for the many different temperatures we have in Virginia. The Cruisers have always said that they look at how I’m dressed when I step out of the car for our […]
Thank you everyone for the anniversary wishes! We had a delicious dinner at a nearby restaurant and even had our youngest son Daniel join us. I don’t talk about Daniel as much because he’s a tennis player, not a runner; and I write a running blog, not a tennis blog. 🙂 Joseph was away on […]
As if I didn’t already have enough reason to love Road ID since they gave me two $35 e-coupons to give away on my blog (I still have one saved for another lucky reader), my Cruiser friend Katie just told me about this new iPhone app! According to the founder of Road ID, as one […]
We’re a quirky bunch, we runners… We do odd little things and don’t think twice about it, yet our non-running friends think we’re nuts. When I tell my friends something about a one of my runs and they don’t understand, I say, “Never mind, it’s a runner thing.” So buckle your seat belts, sit back, […]
Hello again! I (Julie) am writing today while Deb and Bill are off on their relaxing vacation. I’m sure they are having a great time and missing all of us like crazy! 😉 Before reading further, I need you to prepare yourself…..I am about to ask you to make a VERY VERY VERY important decision. […]
I stopped by my favorite local running store today to pick up new shoes. I was fitted in Asics before my first marathon, and I’ve worn them ever since. My last several pairs have been gray or black, so I may be disappointed with how quickly these get dirty; and how big they make my […]
