It may not be Spirit of the Marathon III, but we have our very own Cruiser and MilesRun movie!  I just received this YouTube video that Paul Mr. Incredible put together after Miles’ Annual Blueberry Pancake Run on Saturday!  In addition to riding his bike and providing us with music along the way, he stopped […]

Not Just Any Movie Night

On January 24, 2008, the Cruisers met at a local movie theater to view Spirit of the Marathon.  The documentary followed six marathon runners training for the 2005 Chicago Marathon.  The film was made for a limited one-night-only release at select movie theaters, and we were very lucky that it was showing nearby.  We arrived […]

Cruisers Celebrating The Right Way… With A Run

Just as Tropical Storm Andrea hits the east coast, my new Runner’s World Magazine arrived in the mail.  If I can train my clients tomorrow morning plus get my chores done, perhaps I can curl up during the rainy afternoon and read it from cover-to-cover.  This month is a special issue covering the Boston bombings.  […]

Happy National Running Day!

This morning I woke up like a little kid on Christmas morning because it’s National Running Day!  If you remember, 100 days ago today I started the countdown in my post Sunny Sunday!  First thing I’m going to do today is go for a run with my BRF Susan, and then later today I’m running […]

Georgetown Cupcakes, Need I Say More?

Lucky for me, I just happened to walk into the main office of the wellness center before I left today and found this!  I may or may not have eaten one…  One of our reps brought these delicious pieces of art to the office earlier in the day, and the staff was just cracking the […]
