For three days in Santa Monica, everywhere we went, we saw other members of the Brooks Run Happy Team. From the Brooks Venice Pop-Up to a beach party, a banana run and interesting speakers, so much fun was packed into such a short time. … More The Run Happy Team took over Santa Monica during Brooks Hype Fest
I’m a big fan of small, low-frills races, and after seeing that the Baltimore Road Runners Club was hosting a four-ish mile race, Too Hot to Trot, on a weekend when I was visiting my family in the area, I decided to run it.
The race was held in and around Patterson Park in Baltimore on Sunday, Aug. 6, and it was just $15 for members (I joined last year prior to another BRRC race that I planned to run). … More Too Hot To Trot: Fun, hilly and not overly hot (this year, at least!)
Although July is always a hot and humid month of running, this July was a good one — given the weather. August, so far, has been a lower-mileage month, but a fun one! Stay tuned!

I’ve been working on my speed, and not too long before the Firecracker 5K on July 1, I decided to test my speed at this longtime Rehoboth Beach race, which is organized by Seashore Striders.

June was my lowest-mileage month of the year so far, but it was also a super successful one when it came to my running. July has been tough so far because of the heat, but there have definitely been some high points. Stay tuned!

I don’t race 5Ks all that often, and after the Providence Marathon didn’t quite go how I wanted it to, I was really looking forward to testing my speed at the Ben Layton 5K on June 3. … More I ran a sub-30 race at the Ben Layton 5K
I started running during the summer of 2004. I started my freshman year of high school that year, and in order to make the high school soccer team, players had to run a mile in under 8:00 (a 1600-meter run at the track — just a hair under a mile). Throughout the summer, I worked … More How I ran my sub-8:00 mile
