Happy Sunday, everyone! As I discussed in my last post, I'm not training for anything. Right now, I just like running. I might want to run fast, or I might want to run slow. I just don't know. The world is mine! I got back from California on Thursday morning and I felt a little …

Happy Friday! Yes, I know it's Thursday but it's a Friday for me. I swear I'm not trying to rub it in everyone's faces even though that's EXACTLY what I seem to be doing. My bad. This week is my first official week where I get to run miles, as opposed to minutes. Tuesday was …

Good morning! This week's title comes from a song that used to get me fired up when I was a kid and still can today. First to guess it gets a tip of my cap. I'm going to start wearing a cap whenever I race, like the great Dave Wottle did. Who is Dave Wottle …
Happy Friday, friends! It's a long title, but very fitting for the weather these days. I spent yesterday freezing my tail off up at Luray Caverns for my daughter's field trip (it WAS awesome though) and then I froze some more at my son's baseball game (also awesome). The Lynchburg area was hit …

Hello! This week's title isn't from a song and it isn't from a movie. It doesn't matter, BECAUSE I RAN!!!! It was only 4x1 minute intervals, but it was a runner's high to the nth power! Pure joy. We'll get to more of that, but I'll also take the time to recap my week. Thursday …

First, I need to say thank you to my good friend MC for setting me up to try out an Alter G by using her Roanoke connections. Secondly, I need to thank RunAbout Sports and University Physical Therapy (both in Roanoke, right next door to each other) for allowing a free trial use. I first learned about …

Happy Thursday, friends! The title of my post comes from somewhere, as nearly all of them do. I'm not cool enough to give prizes for naming the source, but your street cred will go through the ROOF. I don't exactly have a ton of rage, but the closer I get to being ready for running …
