I’d heard great things about the Annapolis Ten Mile Run, but I hadn’t run it before this year because I’d heard it was hot and hilly. It was, but it certainly wasn’t as hot as it could have been, and I could see why this Annapolis Striders event has been a successful race for 50 years now. … More My first Annapolis Ten Mile Run was a fun challenge
After running the Annapolis Striders’ Dog Days 8K Cross Country Run last year in 1:01:04, I hoped to run this year’s race in less than an hour. We had a beautiful morning for the run, and I was able to meet my goal. … More I got my Dog Days 8K time under an hour
The Tour de Salisbury has become an annual summer tradition. I’ve participated in every Tour de Salisbury since it began in 2020, including the two winter tours and The Islands Tour last year. This was the last one — at least, the last summer one for sure — and it’s always a fun addition to the summer that also gets me running a few longer runs during the most difficult running season for me. … More Tour de Salisbury another fun journey with friends
In Maryland and Delaware, it’s generally challenging to run in the sand, with feet sinking in and sometimes a slope by the water. In New Smyrna Beach, Florida, though, cars drive on the beach, and the sand is much more compact. … More NSB Firecracker Beach 5K: My speediest sand run

I haven’t been running quite as much as I usually do this year, so I wasn’t sure what time I’d be able to run going into the Ben Layton 5K on May 31. I hoped to be able to come in under 30 minutes, but I figured more likely was maybe under 32 minutes. … More Fun and community combine at the Ben Layton 5K
The morning of April 19, I headed up to Kent Island to take part in the Kent Island Running Group’s Fast & Furriest Run for Rescues 15K, which was also my second race of the 2025 RRCA Maryland/DC Grand Prix Series. … More Fast & Furriest Run for Rescues 15K: I met my goal and supported a great cause
In April, I paced a half marathon for the 19th time — the Coastal Delaware Running Festival Half Marathon in Rehoboth Beach. This was my sixth year pacing this particular race, but it was a little different than usual for me. I decided not to run a spring marathon this year, so I really just … More ‘She’s helping the other runners:’ Pacing the Coastal Delaware Half Marathon
I’ve been running the MD-DC RRCA Club Challenge 10 Miler for several years, and I used to run the Tim Kennard River Run 10-miler every year, too. However, the Club Challenge race is super hilly, and I’ve been volunteering at Tim Kennard for several years, so it had really been a while since I ran a flat 10-miler. … More I tested my speed at the Shamrock Shuffle 10 Miler
