Recap What a race! I ran my first Cherry Blossom ten-miler and I am in love! It was a great course experience AND the first time I’ve run a race officially entered as a member of the Potomac River Running (PR) team.

Rock’n’Roll DC Half-Marathon 2017 Recap and Review
Recap I signed up for the Rock’N’Roll DC Half Marathon in September because I have always wanted to do an R’n’R race. AND as part of an attempt to create a reunion weekend for all of the ladies I served with in Germany and ran the Prague Marathon with in 2014. Ultimately, we managedContinue reading “Rock’n’Roll DC Half-Marathon 2017 Recap and Review”
Philadelphia Race Weekend: Rothman Institute 8k
This week’s race, the Rothman Institute 8k, was a lesson in asking too much of my body and it, in turn, telling me to f**k off. Mind and body were not one for this race.

Baltimore 10 Miler – Humid, Hilly, and Hellish
The ten miler is an interesting distance because its long enough to require a deliberate pace, but short enough to push yourself and run uncomfortably the entire time. I also love races that are marked off in plain and simple miles. I know the metric system is the way of the world, but when itContinue reading “Baltimore 10 Miler – Humid, Hilly, and Hellish”
In honor of Global Running Day
I am sharing a belated recap of the European Union (EU) Embassy Run. It happened May 13, before I started the blog, so I guess that is a fair excuse. You may have heard of it from the May Runner’s World article (that’s how I did!) and you may have never heard of it at all.Continue reading “In honor of Global Running Day”
