Follow @vanessajunkin So, the hashtag for the half marathon at the St. Michaels Running Festival is #flattestfastest. Have I grabbed your attention yet? Flat, fast courses are great for the runner doing his or her first half marathon or a seasoned runner aiming for a PR. Really, who aren’t they great for? If a flat and fast … More My first race ambassadorship! Save $10 on the St. Michaels Running Festival Half Marathon
Follow @vanessajunkin When Kristen posted in the Delmarva Moms Run This Town Facebook group asking who would want to join her on a run at Berlin Falls Park, I was certainly interested. A park with a trail I hadn’t yet heard of that was also less than 30 minutes from my house? Count me in. I … More A nice long run through Berlin and its parks
Follow @vanessajunkin A few days out of town meant that I got a chance to run in some different places over the past few days. On Friday, I ran in Westminster, and on Saturday, I ran on the NCR Trail in Baltimore County.

Follow @vanessajunkin Knowing we may be running in rain and wind this morning at the Mike Sterling Crab Derby 10K didn’t bother me. Tropical Storm Hermine was bringing inclement weather to the area, and although I am disappointed that the other National Hard Crab Derby events were postponed or canceled, it actually made for great running weather. … More A unique prize, No. 1 bib at the Mike Sterling Crab Derby 10K
Follow @VanessaJunkin I went into the Salisbury Fire Department Downtown 5K Fun Run with a loose goal in mind. The Olympic women’s 10K took place the previous day. The winner ran a 10K in 29:17.

Follow @vanessajunkin On Sunday, I left for my run from my old home on Whetstone Court for the last time. I’ve run through Hampstead, Maryland, countless times; I have a go-to 5-mile loop, and know the roads well. So it was a surreal feeling to know that I may never run these streets … More A running-related ode to my hometown: Hampstead
Follow @VanessaJunkin This is my third year competing in the summer All-Comers Track Meets, and these meets are events I look forward to.

It’s the longest event offered, and I’m certainly not … More Fastest mile of 2016 (so far) at the All-Comers Track Meet
