Whew! That was an AWESOME weekend. I’m still recovering and coming off my crazy happy PR high! But wait, I’m spoiling the post. I should make you wait for that part, right?? Race day came bright and early. There was a lunar eclipse which I got to see a bit of on my way in […]
A Day In The Life of a Recreational Runner: The Day BEFORE a Half Marathon

3 years ago, when I started writing Running For My Life, if you had told me that I would get an email from a great company that said this: “Welcome to Skirt Sports, Jennifer Lefforge!” I would have called you a crazy, delusional liar. For reals. When I put in my application I figured it […]

A This and That Post – Wine and Dine Early Registration and a Frustrating Half Marathon Training Week!
It’s Thursday and we are all home because there’s about 4 inches of snow on the ground! I know that for a lot of you, that’s just normal March weather, but not here in North Texas! And certainly not this much at once. This is our 3rd snow day in the last 2 weeks and […]
