I saw some social media posts about the new trail at John Walter Smith Park in Snow Hill and decided to check it out in late July when I picked up the marriage license for my fiance’s and my upcoming wedding. … More I explored a new trail at John Walter Smith Park
I’ve run on the Cross Island Trail on Kent Island several times, and it’s great! But more recently, I learned of another several-miles-long trail on Kent Island — the South Island Trail. On my way home from Baltimore in April, I stopped for a run on the new-to-me trail. … More Exploring Kent Island’s other trail: The South Island Trail
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
