As the year draws to an end, it’s time to reflect back on 2016 and my year of running… Best race experience: I ran ten races this past year including two Ragnar Relays. Each race had its own memorable experiences, some more memorable than others. Overall though, I’d have to say that despite being exhausted, Ragnar […]
Earlier today I posted Christmas wishes from my family to yours, but in case you missed it, Merry Christmas! On Monday I had surgery to remove a melanoma from my left check. With an incision from my cheekbone to my jawbone (my hair and a flesh colored bandage are covering it in the picture above), […]
Joy To The World! The Lord Has Come Let Earth Receive Her King… Merry Christmas, My Friends! Questions: Are you going to be with family today? If you don’t celebrate Christmas, what do you usually do on December 25 since most businesses are closed? Did you run today?

This first ran last December and remains one of my favorite DebRuns posts. I hope you enjoy! The basement was quiet without any noise, No banging or clanging of any gym toys. Just a few empty bottles, and a little spilled water, I nervously wondered if we had a free-loading squatter. Forgetting the season, forgetting the time, I was slightly afraid […]
It’s that time of year again when you can’t necessarily depend on the weather cooperating… This week was all about being flexible and adapting my runs to the demands of winter approaching the mid-Atlantic region. Monday and Tuesday started the week off without causing any workout headaches, but the weather forecast for Thursday morning was dreadful enough […]
There are races and then there are crazy fun races, and Sunday’s Jingle Bell Jog 5K was, without doubt, crazy fun! I’m still smiling whenever I think of over a thousand Santa-clad runners heading down the parkway and can’t help but wonder what people driving by must have thought. It was a sight to behold, and I’m so thankful […]

From December 22, 2014… As a couple, Bill and I have never gone out and cut down a Christmas tree. For several years, we purchased our Christmas tree from a nursery, but then we started buying them from our local volunteer fire department. I reasoned that the fire department would surely sell the freshest-cut trees […]
There are races, and then there are crazy fun races – today’s Jingle Bell Jog was the latter. I’ll give it the full credit it deserves in a recap on Thursday, but today’s weekly wrap couldn’t go by without mentioning it. Mentioning it, because it was yet another opportunity for me to get some shenanigans on with […]

This past week was busy with work, leaf cleanup, Christmas shopping, and a few unexpected curve balls thrown in here and there. The good news is that I got pretty much all of my Christmas decorating done last weekend, so that’s not hanging over my head! I pulled my lazy bones out of bed on […]

My heart is full! Joseph, Julie, Daniel, and Jess arrived at our house yesterday afternoon, and once again our home is filled with the energy of youth. As children grow up and leave the nest, holidays become all the sweeter with their return visits home. We are truly blessed. I have always loved Thanksgiving….. A time to reflect and be […]

Three years ago I wrote my first birthday letter to myself and have decided to update it each year. Here’s my original post with my age updated in the first paragraph and the addition of this year’s note to myself… Today is my birthday, and I absolutely love birthdays! At my age I celebrate the […]
