Follow @vanessajunkin A couple weeks ago, I was in Wilmington, Delaware, for a meeting. Of course, while out of town, I had to run to check out some different scenery. So, after the meeting, I changed into my running clothes and shoes and headed to the nearby Riverwalk. When I looked up the hotel where the … More A nice surprise at the end of Wilmington, Delaware’s Riverwalk
Follow @vanessajunkin The timing couldn’t have been better for me to check out the first part of a new rail trail in Lewes.

Follow @vanessajunkin It wasn’t the beer I smelled as I walked around the area by the start of the Dogfish Dash. It was the apple cider doughnuts.

It was just … More 40th Bottle & Cork 10 Miler a hot race with friendly people

Follow @vanessajunkin If you’ve been reading this blog or know me personally, you know that getting up early is not my forte.

Follow @VanessaJunkin// I knew going into the Dogfish Dash that I’d have an automatic PR — the race was an 8K, a distance in which I’ve never timed myself. But what I didn’t know was that I was going to improve my speed compared to the previous races I’ve completed this year. I haven’t had a fast year … More Faster pace and fun combine at Dogfish Dash
