Happy long weekend Friday! For me, this weekend is jam packed, so it won’t actually feel that long. But hey, that’s okay! This Friday, I’m linking up per usual with my tribe (the DC Trifecta) of Mar from Mar on the Run and Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?!. This weekend I’m returning to […]

Grateful to be a DC runner
As I write about often, I travel quite a bit for work. I’ve figured out how to run while I’m on business travel and often look forward to running in new cities. However, sometimes I have a trip that reminds how lucky I am to live in a city that is built for runners. While […]

#21 Live car free for a [not quite] month
