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 […]

Let your imagination run free and share with your readers your interpretation of that word, or simply use it as inspiration for your post. Today’s word is modest…… […]
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 […]

I taught my first boot camp yesterday morning! In fact, it was the first boot camp I’d ever experienced in any way, shape, or form. About a month ago I had a great idea… Why not offer a weekly boot camp for our MRTT members. I would make it interactive and we would all take […]

Disclosure: The Moji Foot Massager was supplied free of charge for me to try; however, all opinions in this review are my own. A couple of years ago I tested and wrote a review of the Moji 360 Massager, so recently when I was given the opportunity to test their new Moji Foot Massager, […]
Today let’s talk about just what you should do once you walk out the door for that very first run. You might think, “Well that’s simple, I’ll run.” But first you have to decide how long, how far, and where you’ll run? Unless you’re twelve years old and your body won’t even notice such […]

I woke up to rain and a flash flood warning yesterday morning, but with no storms on the immediate horizon I met my MRTT friends for an eight-mile run. Personally I think running in the summer rain is delightful, so there really weren’t any complaints coming from me. Now that I have my GoPro and […]
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. Runfession – a formal statement admitting that one is guilty of a particular running crime. I’m adding a fun little twist again […]
