No one said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it! The day that I had been working toward since January finally arrived. The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. I have run this event for 8 out of the last 9 years, either running the 5k or the half marathon. This time, […]
Hamster Races
This crazy hamster has a goal to see the world!
Half Marathons have been the preferred distance so far for this Crazy Hamster! I may not be fast, but I’m not last. I prefer to be able to enjoy the scenery and new places I get to scamper around!
So lets’ get going and run one in every state! It might take me a while, as that money tree that I planted as not started producing yet, but slow and steady finishes the race
Lets run 33 hills! It will be fun!
Yes, I said this, and I will say it again! That is exactly what we did with the Run The Bluegrass (RTB) Half marathon in Lexington Kentucky! Dubbed “America’s Prettiest Half Marathon” and set up with the backdrop of Kentucky Horse Country, it was one race I will never forget! I first heard about this […]
Running for chocolate is always a good thing!
But running with friends is always better! When Carrie and I realized that we were both signed up for the Cellcom Full marathon, we knew that we would be spending more time to gether, getting in those long runs on Saturdays! Since the Seroogy 15k/5k race fell on the same weekend that we had 10 […]
Bellin Women’s Half Marathon – better every year!

Warrior Dash 2016, a family affair!
5 years ago when I did my first Warrior Dash, it was with a group of friends and a bunch of their friends. Each year, my husband joined me on the adventure, but it was not until 2013 that he actually joined the fun. He wasn’t planning on participating but after a friend of mine […]

My brain is the key that sets me free – Harry Houdini After a successful race last year, RunAway Shoes brought back the Houdini 10k again!

Running the Road Less Traveled… through the Northwoods of WI. Run, Camp, Sleep?, Repeat
Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination – Dwight D Eisenhower Pulling an all-niter for me now is definitely not the same as it was when I was in college. In fact, I have come to the conclusion that I’m too old for that… I need and enjoy my sleep. I get […]
