A race on a Wednesday? Of course! Every day is Saturday at the beach! Last summer without realizing there was a 5K every Wednesday in Corolla, we came down to our beach house for a quick stay in August from Wednesday to Wednesday, and weren’t able to run in the race. I decided to plan […]

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a runner for a while, let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision to give this crazy running thing a try! First of all, let’s take a look at why you might consider taking up running: You have a friend who runs and it seems […]
It’s that time of year when vacationers are flocking to the beach for a week of fun in the sun, relaxing by the water’s edge, napping, and perhaps enjoying a little too much good food and drink. There’s nothing wrong with that because we’re a nation of hard workers and deserve our well-earned vacations; however, […]

Today’s post will be short and sweet – just a quick share of my boot camp workout from yesterday. Please enjoy; and feel free to pin and share! What started as an idea on a run, has turned into a fun workout that I design and lead each Wednesday at 5:30 AM. I try to […]

Once a year, my mom’s siblings and families gather along the North Fork of the Holston River for a two-day family reunion, and that two-day reunion happened to be this past weekend. There’s something for everyone with a dammed up pool for swimming and relaxing on rafts, baby rapids on which the the little kids […]
Holly from HoHoRuns tagged me to answer some fun non-running questions. Her answers were quite entertaining, and I hope to make mine half as fun… What is something people might be surprised to learn about you? If I hadn’t gotten my degree in health and physical education, I would have loved studying either turf […]
Storms were brewing when I went to bed Tuesday night, yet I slept through the 2/10-inch of rain we got, and woke to stars in a clear sky. A wet infield kept us from spreading our mats on the softer grass, but we made do and used a puddleless section on the outer loop of […]

With marathon training in full force and the need to rise early to get those long runs in while trying to beat the heat, I thought today would be a great day to talk about waking up early and more easily. I’m normally an early riser, yet overslept and missed my run with my […]
You wake up and it’s light outside and that just doesn’t seem right… Yesterday morning I woke up at 5:56 – just four minutes before I was supposed to meet my running friends. I had changed the time on my alarm to the correct wake-up time, but I’d failed to actually turn it on. I […]

Holy humidity, did we sweat at yesterday’s boot camp. Keep in mind that we met at 5:30 AM before it got really hot. It was 74° when we met, and we were soaking wet within minutes of starting our warm-up. If you remember, when we showed up at a local high school last week, […]

Until a couple of weekends ago, I hadn’t slept in a tent for years. During our early years of marriage, Bill and I enjoyed seeing our beautiful country on a couple of different cross-country camping trips and then another tour of the Pacific Northwest, south to San Francisco, and back to Utah. After our […]
For the third year in a row, I started my Independence Day off with a BANG by running in the =PR= Race Series Firecracker 5K put on by Potomac River Running. PRR always does things right, and today’s race was no exception! Their website says it best when explaining why runners should participate in the […]
