Picking up where I left off yesterday in my Ragnar DC recap, today’s post will be all about Moms RUN This Ragnar Van 2’s first set of legs. If you remember Van 1’s Misty had just handed the slap bracelet off to Kim, and Van 2 took off in hot pursuit. Van 2’s first […]
Last year’s experience running Ragnar DC with my Cruiser friends was something like I’d never experienced before and I knew that I had to return! And return I have – twice. In June, I joined my MRTT team for Ragnar Trail Appalachians WV, and just last week I joined Moms RUN This Ragnar (again, my […]

Exhausted, sleep-deprived, cold, and wet; yet delirious with joy, my amazing MRTT team ran 200.5 miles from Cumberland, Maryland to Washington, DC in just over 35 hours completing the 2015 Ragnar DC… And it’s weekends like this, that memories are made from! Later this week I hope to start recapping our Ragnar DC adventure. […]

It’s that time again! It’s time to shack up in a van with a bunch of my favorite running people and hit the road for a 34-hour overnight relay. This is my third Ragnar, second DC, first Ragnar without my buddy Meagan, and it will be my second time representing my MRTT chapter. I’m runner […]

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 […]

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… […]

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 […]
