After we ran a story about encouraging people to learn CPR that also mentioned the Salisbury Paramedic Foundation 5K on Get Well Delmarva, I decided I wanted to run the race this year and support the cause. I’d seen that several others who work for TidalHealth (like I do) had signed up. The race began … More I ran for an important cause at the Salisbury Paramedic Foundation 5K
I’ve been wanting to run at Patapsco Valley State Park ever since I learned of the park, when some friends did the Patapsco Valley 50K many years ago. I tried to run there several years ago after a meeting in Columbia and the parking area I went to was full, and I needed to get home before traffic, and I missed out. When I went to a meeting in Elkridge in late February, it looked like my perfect opportunity to run at Patapsco Valley State Park — and it finally worked out. … More Finally, I explored some of the many trails at Patapsco Valley State Park
As soon as I started seeing the weather forecast for Saturday, Feb. 7, I started worrying. We’d had some much colder than usual temperatures here on Delmarva, and as race day for the Algonquin 50K got closer, the “feels like” temperatures were predicted to be in the negatives for basically the entire race — with the temperature getting colder after the start instead of warmer. … More Algonquin 50K: I needed determination and winter gear for this challenge
I’m writing this a little later than I planned, but I still wanted to put my 2026 running goals out there on the blog. I did share this year’s running goals in the Delmarva She Runs This Town group in December, so I’ll go with what I shared there. 1. Finish the Algonquin 50K in … More Follow along as I work toward my 2026 running goals
On the last day of 2025, I broke my year of running down into a few numbers — 1,010 miles run, 77 ESRC group runs, six states, 14 races and 211 days. In my year in review blog post, I’ll go a little more into detail about my 22nd year of running. … More Year in Review: Beyond the numbers
I’d heard great things about the Annapolis Ten Mile Run, but I hadn’t run it before this year because I’d heard it was hot and hilly. It was, but it certainly wasn’t as hot as it could have been, and I could see why this Annapolis Striders event has been a successful race for 50 years now. … More My first Annapolis Ten Mile Run was a fun challenge
After running the Annapolis Striders’ Dog Days 8K Cross Country Run last year in 1:01:04, I hoped to run this year’s race in less than an hour. We had a beautiful morning for the run, and I was able to meet my goal. … More I got my Dog Days 8K time under an hour
Whenever I visit somewhere new, I always like to run. Sometimes, I travel to locations with the purpose of running a race there and exploring. Other times, I run to explore during my trip. … More Exploring Nashville on the run
I haven’t been running quite as much as I usually do this year, so I wasn’t sure what time I’d be able to run going into the Ben Layton 5K on May 31. I hoped to be able to come in under 30 minutes, but I figured more likely was maybe under 32 minutes. … More Fun and community combine at the Ben Layton 5K
I always like to start out the year with some goals. It is Feb. 19 (the same day I wrote this post last year), but I still wanted to share what I have planned for this year. … More Here are my three running and fitness goals for 2025
