I haven’t written a blog post about a new-to-me running spot in a while, because as I run more and more across Delmarva, there are fewer places I haven’t run within a close range of Salisbury (or they are part of the Tour de Salisbury and included in those posts). When I traveled to Philadelphia … More Exploring the new-to-me Michael N. Castle Trail
I’d finished all six Tour de Salisbury events since they started in 2020, but I really brought it down to the wire on this year’s Winter Tour, and was unsure I would finish. However, with my last run on Jan. 30, I finished No. 7. … More The Winter Tour: Another season of exploring
I worked for Wicomico County Recreation, Parks & Tourism for several years, and as soon as I heard about the future Pirate’s Wharf Park, I wanted to run there. Now, since the park’s partial opening in fall 2023, I have been able to do that — twice so far. I’m now also part of a committee planning the first race at this park on Whitehaven Road in Quantico — the Pirate’s Wharf 5K. … More Pirate’s Wharf Park, Wicomico’s newest park, is a great place to run (including at an upcoming 5K)
I’m always a fan of running in new areas, so after spending the night at my aunt and uncle’s house in Montgomery County on Christmas, I decided to find a new-to-me trail on my way home the next day. The Paint Branch Trail was not too far away and was a nice paved option. … More Montgomery County’s Paint Branch Trail a fun one to explore
It’s been a while since I wrote about a new-to-me running location that wasn’t part of a race, but I always enjoy running in new places whenever I can. So, a week after the Providence Marathon, and after six full days of rest, I went out for a short run in the beach city of … More I explored a little more of the coast in Asbury Park, New Jersey
This year’s Mid-Atlantic Tourism Public Relations Alliance Media Marketplace took me to somewhere I’d never been before —State College, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding regions. So, of course, I had to run. Our schedules are always pretty packed during the MATPRA Media Marketplace, but I always find time to get in a run. This year, I … More I Ran Happy in Happy Valley, Pennsylvania
When I’m in a new place, no matter for how short, I always like to get a run in. So, when I had a meeting for work in Rockville, Maryland, in October, and stayed overnight, I planned out a run. I started from the EVEN Hotel Rockville. I drove there, but the Twinbrook Metro stop … More Rockville offers both city and trail running
Two days after an appointment with an otolaryngologist, I headed back up to the Baltimore area for an appointment with a speech-language pathologist at Johns Hopkins. Although it was a long drive from Salisbury, it was completely worth it to figure out my problem with coughing while running, which turned out to be irritable larynx … More A faraway appointment led to finding new-to-me trails at Lake Roland
There are many trails around my mom and stepdad’s house, and when I have the time, I like to explore new places. I looked on the AllTrails app to see what trails were nearby and ended up choosing to drive to the Masemore Water Trail in Gunpowder Falls State Park (Hereford Area) in Parkton, Maryland. … More Exploring Parkton’s Gunpowder North Trail was a fun adventure
Whenever I attend a meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Tourism Public Relations Alliance, I always enjoy running in the host location. The most recent meeting took place April 22 in Dewey Beach (Southern Delaware Tourism was the host), and I needed to pick up my packet for the Coastal Delaware Running Festival in the area later … More I went for a beautiful run at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge
