Last Thursday, after a quick trip to the grocery store so I didn’t leave my kids to starve, I headed out on a road trip to Albany. I had been planning this road trip for quite some time. I was kind of excited as the date drew closer because I not only was going to… Continue reading Mother Runners and a “House” Party
Wooot! Happy National Running Day! Disclaimer: I am being compensated to tell you about the below contest. I think it’s a great win-win concept so would tell you about whether I was being compensated or not. Opinions, as always, are all mine because we all know I am very opinionated. Do you own a Timex?… Continue reading National Running Day
Disclaimer: I was approached to help promote this series of videos by Dick’s Sporting Goods about why people run. I agreed and cannot stop spreading the word as I love these videos. I have been compensated for my sharing the word about these videos but the opinions on them are all mine. Do you ever… Continue reading #RunFor
Wow! I truly do not know where the year is going. I use to tell my days by a school calendar because my children were in school. That all ended last year so June is no longer the busiest month of the year. It’s still pretty busy, though. And, all that busy, that is how… Continue reading Monthly Goal Review
I am again going to attempt the Runner’s World Run Streak. This particular summer version goes from Memorial Day – the celebrated date so this year, May 27 – until July 4th. For those of you who follow my blog, you’ll know I tried the summer streak last year. Problem is I ended up… Continue reading #RWRunStreak – Summer Version
Last May the full marathon in Pittsburgh was my first of two full marathons in the month of May. This year, I am not being nearly as daring. I am running the half in both of those cities as opposed to the full. First, I spent Saturday morning wedding dress shopping with my daughter and… Continue reading Pittsburgh Half Marathon Recap
I packed the car again today for another trip. Different city, different race, different car. Totally different route to Pittsburgh than I had originally thought about a month ago. I love the City of Pittsburgh. I still get twinges of Pitt hate as I am, and always will be, a Mountaineer but now that neither… Continue reading Traveling Again
I make annual goals so like to check in at the end of each month. April seemed to buzz by rather quickly. Looking back at the beginning of the month, winter was hanging around but now, summer seems to be here. Not quite sure if we will see spring or not. I am not complaining.… Continue reading April in Review
I believe I left you at the Star on top of Mill Mountain. If you recall, I had sort of caught up with Angie. We headed, not together but close, down Mill Mountain. The down was curvy and a fairly sharp incline. Not far down the hill, about a half mile or so, there was… Continue reading Blue Ridge Marathon Recap – Last 13 Miles
I’m going to warn you upfront. This race was amazing. This recap will be long. It may take more than one post to get it all out. Roanoke is a beautiful city. Friends that I have met before and those who I had not met yet made the weekend even better than the beautiful surroundings.… Continue reading Blue Ridge Marathon Recap – First 13 miles
