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

Follow @vanessajunkin I’m a fan of using social media in conjunction with running, as long as I’m not racing.

Whenever I can, I like to make running part of my workday. Understandably, this doesn’t happen often. But I did have had this opportunity on Tuesday, when I went for a four-mile run at Pemberton Historical Park, taking plenty of pictures along the way.
