    Go ahead. Hug a runner.

    Today is Hug a runner day! Today’s celebration was starting by the masterminds behind Run The Edge. It has turned into a global holiday for all runners. This year’s event is a little different being there is a virtual race where all proceeds from registration, go to Girls on the run. There are many ways to participate…

  • I wined, I dined, I CONQUERED

    I can comfortably say that this was the most EPIC race I have ever done! From the start of the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend, until the end, FULL of memories!!!

  • Fueling for a night time race

    I know many of you are curious as to how to fuel for an evening or late race. They are unique experiences. Everything is new from your running, weather, hunger, and stride. Running a night time race is a little different from running those crack of dawn early races. I have had the chance to…

  • Ready to Wine and Dine 13.1 miles!

        Things are getting very exciting over here! The Wine and Dine Weekend is 10 days away! It’s been a long time since my last long distance race. I was telling Alpha that I believe to me a distance runner. While the 5Ks, and 10Ks are a lot of fun, my heart is in…

    “It’s like running on clouds.”

    I was recently sent a complimentary pair of shoes from ASICS. I already run in the ASICS GT-2000 and have been for years now. Thanks to ASICS for loving and following my blog they sent me a pair of Gel-Kayano 21 to take out for a run.   One major thing that I noticed was the…

Luckily this time is a little different from my last training update.   I had hit double digits officially and not…

  • Mad about Tea!

    “Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. “I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone, “so I can’t take more.” “You mean you can’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.” “Nobody asked your opinion,” said Alice.” As many of you have…
