Why do you exercise? What drives you to get out of your warm bed, in the wee hours of the morning, and lace up those kicks so that you can hit the pavement? What motivates you to plan your days so that you’re able to consistently spend quality time at the [...]
Drumroll… Welcome today’s guest writer, my running partner extraordinaire, Jerri Wright! She is an expert on all things nutrition. She can whip up a batch of tasty cupcakes with nothing but aguave necter and almond flour (neither of which are ever in my cupboard, but whatever) plus she is MY RUNNING PARTNER. And I love [...]
If you want to run strong this fall, now is the time to condition. A good regimen will target your quads, hams, and glutes to increase your speed and power.
When it comes to conditioning, sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Running is so darned simple—it seems like a travesty to junk it [...]
Who loves FREE STUFF? Today’s guest from Elite Feet Inc., donated my favorite running accessory: BLINKY LIGHTS. These lights clip to your shorts and strobe so drivers can see you in the dark. Leave a comment on this post for a chance to WIN!
The key to a safe summer run is WATER. Nothing is more important. [...]
It’s hot ya’ll.
If you’ve granted your Mizuno’s a three-month sabbatical, HOLD ON GIRL!

My son, Toby, turned five on January 12th. Our family laughed over pizza at his favorite restaurant just as the whole of Port [...]
I wanted to share this beautiful comment from writer Anna Sklar, on the earlier post “Wingman.”
She wrote:
Recently I came to a place where God asked me if He was enough. If all I ever had was Him, would I be happy with my life. As I was humbled and answered Him “yes,” everything else appeared [...]
My favorite part of this new blog design is the tag line: “Choose a destination, run fast.” The only problem is me not having a destination.
I spend a lot of time writing about my boys. This blog may become the longest book ever written, and if the climax is Toby and Charlie’s passage into adulthood I’m gonna go [...]
Insomania is when another person’s sleeplessness makes you want to gouge out your own eyes. It is the second-hand-smoke of insomnia. For over a month Charlie has taken long, happy drags of his own wakefulness. He sits in his bed talking to himself or singing the ABC’s (minus H-P), and showing off with arbitrary bursts of crying.
