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 […]

Welcome to my first installment of Wednesday Word, a weekly linkup for everyone, not just health and fitness bloggers. Each Wednesday you will have a single word prompt to write about. Let your imagination run free and share with your readers your interpretation of that word, or simply use it as inspiration for your post. […]
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 […]
Yesterday afternoon members from my local MRTT chapter took over my basement when I hosted, Becoming A Stronger Runner, a strength training for runners workshop that I held just for them, and today I’m happy to share the workout with my readers. After having my attendees introduce and tell a little bit about themselves, I […]

I’ve always said that one of my long term goals is to run forever. I’ve written that I want to be the cute little old lady pumping my fist as I mosey across the finish line. Not that I’m in a rush to grow old; just thinking ahead….. Which leads me to 95-year old Dr. […]
Last Monday on the blog, my friend Beth and I talked about her clean eating plan, and I mentioned to that I would be joining her for a five-day challenge starting soon. The time has come, and that day is today. To me, clean eating isn’t a fad diet, it’s eating fresh and whole foods, […]

Back before I got my Garmin, I used my RunKeeper app on my phone to track my mileage, time, and pace. While out on a run one day, I notice that every time my RunKeeper announced my mileage, a loud car drove by and I couldn’t hear my phone. As soon as the lady in […]
Today I am welcoming my friend, fellow fitness professional, and fellow MRTT runner, Beth, as a guest writer on Deb Runs. She’s going to tell us about her recent focus on clean eating, and how much better she is feeling these days. Both Beth and her husband TJ are amazing athletes and runners – often […]
With Yaktrax and GoPro in Hand, Bill and I hopped in the car on Saturday afternoon and headed to Paeonian Springs for a run on the snow covered W&OD Trail. We quickly realized that the eight inches of snow that fell on Thursday hadn’t been plowed, and that our run would be an adventure! We […]
