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 I’ve run on the Algonquin Cross-County Trail, which is basically in the middle of nowhere between Snow Hill and Pocomoke City, before, but Saturday’s run was my first time running on the trail since signing up for the Algonquin 50K. I meant to write about signing for the 50K around the time I … More Trail training for the Algonquin 50K
Follow @vanessajunkin I’ll miss my old home, but one cool thing about my mom and stepdad moving is that they now live not far from the NCR Trail, which is a great place to run. I had a long run to do this past weekend as part of my marathon training, and I was excited to … More NCR Trail a scenic spot for a solo 16-miler
Follow @vanessajunkin If you’ve been reading this blog or know me personally, you know that getting up early is not my forte. But I’m glad I got up before 5:30 a.m. on Sunday to run 12 miles at Trap Pond State Park in Laurel, Delaware. I have run at Trap Pond before, but it’s been … More Trap Pond State Park a beautiful place for a run
Follow @VanessaJunkin The #RWRunStreak is now 1/3 of the way over. That might not sound like a lot — for example, I wouldn’t be happy with a 33 percent on a test. But although my legs do seem to be feeling a little sluggish, the first 12 days have gone by quickly. I haven’t had … More #RWRunStreak: 1/3 of the way there
Follow @vanessajunkin I’m a fan of using social media in conjunction with running, as long as I’m not racing. So, when I found out last night that I had gotten my first Snapchat geofilter approved, the only appropriate way to celebrate was a run at the location — Pemberton Historical Park. I got myself up … More Snapping and running my way through Pemberton Park
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. I think I’ve only gotten to do a run at work … More Get out and enjoy Pemberton’s trails
Think of Montgomery County, Maryland, and the first thing that comes to mind may be suburbia. But inside the county that’s right outside our nation’s capital is a trail runner’s paradise. I’m training for the Baltimore Marathon, and I had 14 miles on my schedule for Sunday, Sept. 20. I stayed at my grandparents’ house in Montgomery … More Seneca Creek Greenway Trail a trail-running gem
I love visiting Rehoboth Beach. I’m often there eating (which I did do a good amount of this weekend), but this time, I also got a 17-miler in. If you’ve been following my blog, you know I’m training for the Big Sur International Marathon, which is April 26. While I’m not following a distinct plan, I have … More Rehoboth an awesome place to log 17 miles
A while ago as I was on a run in Easton, Maryland, I noticed that Easton has a Rails To Trails paved trail. I decided not to run on the trail that time, but I was interested in checking it out at a later point. Then, it took me a decent amount of time to … More Easton’s Rails To Trails provides a nice change of scenery
