I Ran Happy in Happy Valley, Pennsylvania

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

A faraway appointment led to finding new-to-me trails at Lake Roland

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

Exploring Parkton’s Gunpowder North Trail was a fun adventure

There are many trails around my mom and stepdad’s house, and when I have the time, I like to explore new places.

I enjoyed a change of scenery at Anne Arundel County’s Quiet Waters Park

Last month, my boyfriend, Mike, and I headed up to Annapolis to grocery shop at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.

Oxford a great spot for a running architecture tour and water views

In a continuation of running in cool places on Delmarva, I started 2021 by running with my friends Nicole and Lisa in Oxford, Maryland. Since the pandemic has quashed further-away travel for me for now, I have been enjoying exploring local spots.

Rain and holiday spirit combine during a run on the Georgetown-Lewes Trail

I had a rare night out of town earlier this month, and I took off work the following day. Of course, I wanted to run and explore some new scenery.
