I’ve discovered just what being sandwiched between children and parents means. I quickly, almost a month ago, packed my bags and got my house in order to leave two adult children in NY while I flew to California. My mother is ill and I am helping with her care at the moment. I have spent… Continue reading Sandwiched
Disclaimer: I was contacted by Endurance Shield to see if I wanted to review their product. I was provided with a 4 ounce container of their sunblock and a lucky reader will also receive a direct-from-Endurance Shield sunblock. Sunscreen tends to be the bane of an athlete’s existence. As a runner, I wear sunscreen all… Continue reading Product Review – @EnduranceShield
Things are different here in the desert. I am adapting. You can see some photos from this morning here. Here are some of my observations. I must run in the morning. And by morning, I mean out the door by 6 am at the latest or it is too hot. At home, we love a… Continue reading Desert Living
I’ve been traveling. I spent Sunday and part of Monday morning traveling from my home outside Binghamton, New York tomy mother and stepdad’s home outside of Palm Springs, California. I am getting used to the desert heat but not to my hydration requirements here in the heat. I am taking my acclimation to the heat… Continue reading Traveling Again
Disclaimer: I received VegaSport Electrolyte Hydrator in exchange for my honest review as part of the Fuel Your Better campaign by VegaSport and Fit Approach. All opinions are my own. I don’t know about you but training for a longer distance race, half marathon or longer, is as much about training for fueling during the race as it is… Continue reading #FuelYourBetter

Both are available for speaking engagements and one is available for running clinics. Please look at where… Continue reading Do You Need a Speaker?
I know a lot of my local races are small and do only a packet pickup. Actually most of them do bib pickup prior to the race. A larger local one, run by the local runners’ club, did do a day before pickup this year at a local establishment. I would wager a bet, though,… Continue reading Expo versus Packet Pickup
The Greater Binghamton Bridge Run has been in existence for four years. It is basically my hometown race. I had never run it until yesterday. The first year I was injured with a hamstring strain. The second and third years I was in Pittsburgh running either the full (2012) or the half (2013). 2014 is… Continue reading Greater Binghamton Bridge Run – A Race Recap
For once, my weekend revelation has absolutely – well, I’m sure I could tie it in somehow but not going to – nothing to do with running. I was out of town this past weekend for a race. You can find the recap of the race tomorrow as I had this other ah-ha moment while… Continue reading A Revelation
I’m hitting the road again tomorrow. I am off to Roanoke, Virginia. I had never been to this area until last year at this time. I fell in love with the area. City life with mountains nearby. My trip to Asheville reminded me a lot of Roanoke. So, Saturday morning, I will toe the start… Continue reading Packing Again
