When we arrived at Dulles International Airport on Thursday for our flight to Chicago, we were treated to a beautiful sunrise – a fantastic way to start our much anticipated trip to help Joseph celebrate his birthday! Bill and I have been very lucky that both of our sons have lived pretty close by since […]
Today I’m linking up with Marcia at Marcia’s Healthy Slice for her monthly Runfessions linkup. Be sure to check out her blog and those of the other great bloggers linking up, too. Runfession – a formal statement admitting that one is guilty of a particular running crime. For a change I’m facing my […]

It’s not every day one has an opportunity to run on an airport runway, and when I heard about this race a couple of years ago, I desperately wanted to participate. Problem was, I was either out of town for another race or a football game when the race was being held. This year the […]

One of my longtime dreams came true on Sunday when I ran the Parks Half Marathon with my youngest son Daniel. Two years ago Bill and I ran the Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon with our oldest son Joseph and his girlfriend Julie – now wife. Life is certainly good when you get to share […]
Last year my friend Katie and BAMR Bands founder/owner came up with the great idea to organize a kids’ fun run for the children of our MRTT chapter members. She and our chapter co-leader Erin got the ball rolling in July, and with a lot of hard work from a great group of volunteers, today’s […]
After I finished up with my last client on Friday morning, Bill and I took off for a long weekend in southwestern Virginia. We had places to go, people to see, and teams to cheer on… First order of business was visiting my mom and enjoying the beauty of that part of the state… […]

My friends Beth, Erin, Vicki, Lupe, and several other MRTT friends have organized a virtual race for a local little boy battling cancer. Today I am turning my blog over to Beth and Trevor’s mom Sara so they can tell you a little bit about this sweet little boy, and what you can do to […]
Today I’m joining Coco at Running With Perserverance, Deborah at Confessions Of A Mother Runner, and Lynda at Fitness Mom Wine Country for their monthly Ultimate Coffee Date linkup! Be sure to stop by their blogs for a cup of coffee and to say hello; and while you’re there, be sure to check out some […]
I named Wednesday’s boot camp, Back-To-School Boot Camp, for two reasons. Firstly, because our public schools started on Monday and we watched the teachers starting to arrive while we were working out on the middle school track (yes, they were arriving before 6:30 AM…) And secondly, because I used suicides as the cardio intervals, and […]
I’m very excited to let you know that my friend Lesley is the race director for the upcoming Ghost, Goblins & Ghouls Spooktacular 5K which will be held on October 31 at 4 PM at One Loudoun; and she has graciously offered to give a free registration each to two of my lucky readers! […]

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. You should be able to complete it in about 55 minutes, including the warm-up and […]

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 […]
