Even though I’m not running Boston this year, and will probably never have the privilege to run it again, I’m very excited for my running friends who are in Boston preparing to race this morning, especially those running it for the first time! Please join me in wishing them an amazing fun-filled race! My advice […]
Last week I was tagged by my running buddy, Erin over at Erin Runs Happy, to answer a few running related questions. Thanks Erin for tagging me and asking me to play along. 1. Location: Trail, Road, or Indoors? I will almost always choose running outside over inside. I’ll skip running outside during thunder storms, […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve written about a Saturday morning training run, so sit back and enjoy a lot of pictures! Our MRTT group had two starts this morning – one at 6:30 and one at 7 AM. I chose the 6:30 group because I always like to get out as early as […]

In honor and memory of our 32 Hokies lost eight years ago today, I want to share why I love being a Hokie… Before I jump into why I love being a Hokie, let me explain what a Hokie is. The word hoki was made up in 1896 in a contest when a student came […]

Well this weekend certainly flew by! All last week Bill and I planned to go into DC on Friday morning for a run along the Tidal Basin and to take pictures of the cherry blossoms, but we had to postpone it because of rain and fog. Even if bad weather hadn’t moved in, we would […]
I wish I was the kind of writer that could leave you laughing hysterically at with me – so much so that you would pee your pants. But enough about bodily fluids, there will plenty of time for that later. Thursday was a normal day. I had a good early morning run with my MRTT […]

What better day than the opening day of baseball to honor my dad, and brag about his baseball accomplishments! Dad would never have told you these things, but if you started asking questions, he would have told you some great baseball stories. Asking Dad’s friends about his baseball accomplishments; however, opened a floodgate of stories […]
Bill and I joined some of our Cruiser and MRTT friends this morning for the first of four =PR= Spring Trail Runs. All four events are at different parks and free of charge; however, you are required to either register in advance online or signup the morning of the event. Water and snacks were provided […]

Sometimes a last minute decision can be the best – like when Bill says, “Let’s stop in Pearisburg on the drive home from your mom’s house and run on the Appalachian Trail up to Angel’s Rest. So before we had a chance to reevaluate our decision to add three hours to our already long drive […]
Two weeks ago I started my five-day clean eating challenge with my running friend Beth. My goal – to simply clean up my sloppy eating habits I’d slipped back into during the cold winter months. Our grocery list suggestions had us shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. We stayed away from processed foods, added […]
I arrived at my Mom’s house on Wednesday afternoon to spend a week with her – my spring break of sorts. The weather has been typical March weather, and all over the place. Thursday’s high was 74°, and last night’s low was 12°. After driving for six hours on Wednesday, I needed to move my […]

When I trained for my first marathon, I did all of my speed workout with a group of guys. I was the only girl, and determined to hold my own against them. Every Wednesday without fail, we met at a local high school track and I ran pretty much in the middle of the pack […]
