To say our local Moms RUN This Town (MRTT) chapter has grown a bit since I joined would be an understatement. My friend and chapter co-leader Amanda added me to the group on January 11, 2014, and if memory serves me correctly, I was about the 60th member. Today we have 727 members. Just for […]

Yesterday’s boot camp didn’t get a name until boot camp was over. Scroll down and you’ll understand why… This boot camp has a nice combination of total body strengthening exercises and cardio to keep you breathing hard throughout the workout.

It started with a simple post to our MRTT group by my friend Tiffany. She shared the following video from Ian’s Shoelace Site, and mentioned that she’d been experiencing pain on the top of her foot and thought she’d give this straight bar lacing a try. Pain on the top of the foot… Hmmmmm, […]
Sunday’s Leesburg 20K was yet another fun filled morning spent with my MRTT and Cruiser running buddies! Believe me, I sometimes pinch myself to see if I’m dreaming because I have so many good friends who share my running passion, and each race morning seems like a party to me. Proceeds from the race benefited […]

As summer draws toward an end, so will my boot camp series. Our 5:30 AM class was mostly done in the dark this morning, and within a few weeks it will still be dark when we finish up. I’ve decided to do two more weeks even though I told the ladies this morning that today […]

A while back when commenting on my post, Five Favorite Race Memories, Sherry at Run To The Mountains said, “Awesome! Running provides so many great memories it is hard to narrow it down to just five! Some of my favourite memories are relatively minor interactions with other runners – words of encouragement, laughing about our […]

Each pyramid consists of doing 150 total reps […]
Yesterday morning I looked out our kitchen window and saw Pegasus, the winged divine stallion….. He wasn’t white like the mythical creature, but his wings were. I called for Bill to grab his camera and a long lens and come quickly! One of the wild horses was munching away on sea oats in our neighbors’ […]
