Now that I've recapped the actual race, how about a recap of our visit to Charlottesville? Steve and I had never been there but heard great things from Katharine and everything that I read on KERF. We arrive in Charlottesville on Friday afternoon and checked into our airbnb rental. (If you've never used the site, I highly recommend …

After running the Pittsburgh half, I came up with a list of things that I wanted to focus on for my next half marathon Run a few 5Ks/10Ks. In the past year, I've run my fastest (adult) 5K and the last (7-mile) leg of the marathon relay with the Medifast Milers at the Baltimore Running Festival. Add …

Baltimore has seen 10 murders in the first nine days of 2014. Sorry to kick off with such a downer, but WTF is wrong with people?? At this rate, we'll hit 400 murder this year. That is ridiculous. Are people annoyed because it's cold? January 26 is Australia Day at the National Aquarium. In good news, …
I haven't talked about running much since the Pittsburgh half back in May and my (adult) 5K PR on Memorial Day. Honestly, my running has been limited. Summer hit, I went on vacation and on two work trips, Steve's grandmother passed away, and we bought a house. I signed up for the Baltimore half and …
