After giving myself a week to recover after running Ragnar DC, I eased back into running last week as I faced my last three weeks of training for the Hokie Half Marathon. Monday I took Monday off from all workouts. Tuesday I ran my first set of twelve hill repeats (excluding my Ragnar DC legs) […]
My first race of any distance was the DC Road Runners’ National Capital 20 Miler. My marathon training was at the mercy of my friend Miles, and he suggested that running a 20-mile race a month before the Marine Corps Marathon would be a great way for me to gauge how prepared I was for […]
It’s time for Friday Five linkup with DC area bloggers Courtney at Eat Pray Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What?!, and Mar at Mar on the Run! This week’s theme is Five Favorite Fall Activities… During the fall, I pretty much enjoy doing anything that takes me outside in the cool, crisp, autumn air! In keeping with […]
Last week was all about recovering from Ragnar DC. For those of you that haven’t read my recaps, you can catch up by clicking on Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 , and Part 4, to see how my team, Cruisers Rockin’ The Relay, did. Monday My workout on Monday consisted of me limping down […]
I’m linking up again this month with Amanda at The Lady Okie and Becka at Sunshine To The Square Inch for their Runner’s Tell All monthly linkup. Be sure to pop over to their blogs to see what’s on their racing bucket lists, and to see who else is linking up. This month, Amanda and […]

If you’re joining my Ragnar DC party late, you can catch up by clicking on Part 1 and Part 2, to read my two previous posts. I left off with Van 2 heading to The Creamery at Exchange 18 in hopes of getting some sleep while we waited for Van 1 to run their legs. […]
Picking right up where I left off yesterday in my Ragnar DC recap, today’s post will be all about Van 2’s first set of legs. If you remember Ravi (from Van 1) had just handed the slap bracelet off to Candy, and Van 2 was in hot pursuit! We caught up with Candy as she […]
I really don’t know where to start… How do you sum up such an incredibly amazing weekend in one short blog post? You don’t… Way back in early April when I registered our team for Ragnar DC, I picked Runner 8 because it seemed like the hardest position overall. Runner 8 seemed to have a […]
As I approach my targeted fall race, the Hokie Half Marathon, I’m hoping to peak at just the right time. Having two other big races a month and two months prior has its advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, I’m able to test my training to see where I am in the way of […]
It’s over… I’m a Ragnarian, and I’m feeling the blues like it’s the day after Christmas. What now? There’s no planning, no organizing, no packing; just basking in the afterglow of a job well done by my amazing team of friends! This evening’s post isn’t a recap. It’s just to let you know that we […]

On Sunday, we had our first local chapter MRTT open house appropriately named the Fall Showcase Open House! Our chapter leaders, Erin and Amanda, put a lot of effort into making it perfect and fun for their 300 members. No, we didn’t have perfect attendance, but the turnout was really good! Erin had transformed her […]
After a fun and busy Labor Day weekend, I stated off last Monday, with a fully booked schedule. It’s easier to see clients than reschedule them, so I often work on the smaller holidays that fall on Monday, my busiest day. Monday My first client arrived with her daughter at 7:30 and we headed out […]

This morning, I got tagged by M at ReadEatWriteRun to provide ten random facts about me, tag ten people that I want to know more about, and tag the tagger back. 1. My right eye is blue, and the top half of my left eye is blue, but the bottom half is a brownish-green color. […]
Last week was certainly an unusual week for this girl that loves to run and workout. If you recall, the previous week I had minor surgery on my left forearm on Tuesday, and hurt my left foot as I finished up a run on Thursday. Nothing serious in the grand scheme of things, but enough […]

If you remember back in early April, I announced that I was putting together a DC Ragnar Relay team. Last week, after several social media blitzes, I filled the last spot on team Cruisers Rockin’ The Relay. Lame name, I know… My friend Chuck agreed to help me out as co-captain if I formed […]
