One would THINK that after the Run The Bluegrass Half Marathon last year and it’s hills, I would have learned my lesson… After I finished that race, according to my watch, I had climbed 65 flights of stairs over the course of the 33 rolling hills. (full recap from that race here) Maybe I just enjoy […]

It’s Music City Time!
Yes, this was my second trip to Nashville in April, but this one had one purpose and one purpose only. To Run! We arrived in town Friday afternoon and headed straight downtown for the expo. Since I knew that parking downtown was always at a premium (and I am all about saving money when I […]
Maybe I should have been a duck!
When I signed up for the Brew City Half Marathon, I would NEVER had guessed that it would be the same weekend that Mother Nature would throw one of the largest snowstorms in over 100 years at us! I know that living in Wisconsin means that the weather can be (and often is) unpredictable. Many […]
Is weight loss possible on vacation?
It’s been a while since I posted an update and figured today was time. The past week was a whirlwind week. 3 concerts in 3 states in 3 days, then an additional 3 days of exploring with my son for his birthday! We are both huge fans of Home Free, an acapella country group originally […]
I THINK I was just in Washington D.C. – the whirlwind tour
Ever have one of those weekends that you were so on the go that you really don’t realize what all you did… until after everything is over? That’s pretty much how last weekend went down. This year’s 1st race of the year was the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in Washington D.C.! 13.1 miles around […]
Sorry? Nope, not sorry!
When I sat down to write this post, it was to say I’m sorry. Sorry that I have been MIA for the last week. Sorry that I missed many of my usual posts during the week. Sorry that I fell off the face of the earth for a while. I missed many of my regular […]
Those dreaded race photos aren’t so bad now!
They say that the right outfit can change a person’s outlook and confidence, which is why there are more and more organizations popping up out there to help out those who are out of work, starting over etc. This can be said for the running world too! Having the right running gear can really put […]
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 […]
Why do I run?
Why? Why, oh Why, do you run? This is a question that I am asked ALL THE TIME. Unless you are a runner, you may never understand why I, or any runner does. It’s personal. We all run for our own reasons! Someone can’t MAKE you run, once you find your WHY, the rest […]
