I signed up for not one, not two but 3 turkey trots this year. Having Hurricane MIL in town will do that. Need to run off the crazy. The first was yesterday. I hoped to get this one in before the monsoons set in, but the rain started as soon as I left the house. [Read More]
Runfessions
It’s that time once again! Time to air it all out and come clean. I usually post my Runfessions on the last Friday of the month but with Black Friday next week, who know? So here they are a little early. Feel free to join me and tag me. I promise you’ll feel better. Yesterday [Read More]
Peanut Butter Lovers’ CocoaVia Giveaway
Did you know it’s National Peanut Butter Lovers Month? As a runner, I celebrate my love of peanut butter almost on a daily basis. When my friends over at CocoaVia told me they had a Peanut Butter Smoothie recipe they wanted me to try, let’s just say they didn’t need to twist my arm. What [Read More]
Extreme Race Conditions and Tips for Conquering Them
I’m linking up today with Erika, April and Patty for Tuesdays on the Run. This week we’re talking about extreme race conditions. If you hang around here you know that extreme is my middle name.

Sweet Sixteen
This past weekend the Caveman and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. I know where has the time gone? It goes faster and faster, I swear.

Typically we rotate between us hosting my family one year, and going to NC where the in-laws host, every other year. If you’re an old-timer around here you may remember the year BIL and his family refused to travel to NC due to very [Read More]
Penny for Your Thoughts #dishthefit
Today I’m linking up with Jill and Jessica for The Fit Dish. The topic: What do you think about when you run or workout? Early on, in my 30’s, when I finally got off the mill and started running outside, I made running my “no-negativity” zone. I forced myself to only think positive things. I [Read More]

Apres NYCM Randoms and a Winner
4 days post race, I’m still feeling giddy about the whole weekend. It was everything I’d hoped for and more (well not the wind, but in a warped way, conquering that without letting it ruin my attitude kind of rocked). As much as I complained about my NYRR training plan being “too easy” in retrospect, [Read More]
New York City Marathon Recap
Where do I even start? If you hung with me here awhile, you know I’ve been dreaming about this one for longer than any other marathon. Boston came quickly, before I had a chance to even think it was a possibility. But NYC? I watched that iconic start on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge for longer [Read More]
