On the Facebook page yesterday, I asked what I should write about this weekend. I wanted it to be running related, but wasn’t sure what direction to go. Laura (hi, Laura!) asked if I would write about burnout at the end of a long training cycle. Since I get this EVERY TIME I train for […]
When The World is Falling Apart I Go For A Run
It’s rough right now. I don’t think you can see it any other way. No matter your political views, your faith or your world view, we are all feeling it.

When They Cancelled the Disney World Half And Twitter Ran it Anyway
I am not at the Walt Disney World marathon weekend today and I am so sad to be missing!

How Running Changes Over 45
Honestly, I don’t think much about aging. The small lines appearing around my eyes don’t bother me (and I’m terrified of needles so Botox is OUT), I’m OK with the few pounds I’ve gained, and I adore the wisdom and experience that have made me who I am today. I wouldn’t go back to my […]
3 Weeks Until Rock N Roll Savannah
I can hardly believe it, but RnR Savannah half marathon is 3 weeks away! I am excited and nervous (mostly excited) and I wanted to give a quick training update. This last week I didn’t get in all the mileage I wanted but it was for a great reason. I had the opportunity to grab […]
