Working a later shift equals extra hours in the morning, which equals time to get a long run in. Of course, when I had some extra free hours on Thursday morning, I decided to use them for my long run. I already had a busy weekend ahead of me — that’s why I’m writing my blog post … More Hills, distance combine in Assateague run
Only four long runs stand between me and the Big Sur International Marathon. A large portion of my training is now behind me, as I just did my longest scheduled run of 22 miles on Sunday. The race is set for Sunday, April 26, in California — a state I’ve never been to but am excited … More 22-miler down, less than five weeks to go
I have wanted to run the marathon at the Baltimore Running Festival for a while, but I didn’t make it my first marathon because of the hills. My first marathon was the Rehoboth Beach Seashore Marathon in 2013, which was a great experience. And then, when I signed up for the Rehoboth Beach Seashore Marathon … More Marathon No. 4 is on the schedule: Baltimore
I love visiting Rehoboth Beach. I’m often there eating (which I did do a good amount of this weekend), but this time, I also got a 17-miler in. If you’ve been following my blog, you know I’m training for the Big Sur International Marathon, which is April 26. While I’m not following a distinct plan, I have … More Rehoboth an awesome place to log 17 miles
When I was in elementary school, I wrote a diary entry about reading seven chapter books in one day. I can’t make the time for that anymore as an adult with a full-time job. However, I should be able to read at least one book a month — but I don’t. I love reading, but I … More New Series: A Running Book Per Month
Soon after I and plenty of others began the Tim Kennard River Run 10-miler this morning, there was full-on snow. It was a unique experience for me. In the more than 10 years I’ve been running, I’d never before done a race in which snow was falling. Doing a race in the snow was certainly very interesting, … More Tim Kennard River Run 2015: My first snow race
Following in the tradition I started last month, I’ve come up with seven takeaways about my running in February. 1. I ran 80.95 miles. Since I’m going for 1,200 miles this year, I’ll have to make sure I run more than 100 miles some months, but in February, I only got in 80.95 — that’s just … More Seven facts about my February running
I traveled to Richmond on Friday for an event the following day, and didn’t really have any plans for Friday. But I did know that I wanted to get a run in, and I did. It was a very slow run, between stopping at lights, being careful around ice and snow and running up hills. … More Richmond Run
I didn’t really want it to snow. As a news reporter, I don’t get snow days, and I don’t like driving in the snow. And I could do with less cold weather, too — on a day not too long ago, my car was iced over and I had to use a key to draw a line at … More A quiet, slow snow run
Even though I’m not really into Valentine’s Day, I couldn’t pass up the chance to write about my love of running. Even though I enjoy running all year — more so when it’s nice out — what better time to put together a list of reasons? 1. The people. OK, I’m pretty sure I’m biased about this, but … More For Valentine’s Day, 14 things I love about running
