Who’s Up for a #SparklingDetox?
As much as I love summer and the long, hot days, it’s time to buckle down a bit. Too much sun, sand and chlorine and too little sleep takes a toll. My daily ice cream habit (among other treats) adds up too. I’d like to head into fall energized and refreshed, so I’m partnering with [Read More]

Race Day Mishaps? I’ve Had a Few
This week’s Tuesdays on the Run topic is Running and Racing Mishaps. Face it, whether it’s negligence on our part or an act of God, sh!* happens sometimes. In the 10 years or so I’ve been running long distance, I’ve certainly had my share of “surprises”. Mostly extreme weather issues, but some other incidents as [Read More]

Stuff I’m Bringing to Dublin…and Not
I’m heading to Dublin, Ireland to run the RocknRoll Dublin Remix Race Series and I could not be more excited! The last time I was to Dublin was 17 years ago and I don’t think I was a runner then so I’m super pumped to see that beautiful city in my running shoes. But before [Read More]
