On Sunday, I ran my first ever 8k race. I really wasn’t planning on adding anymore races to my race calender, but this race was special. I ran the Race to End Women’s Cancer to honor my dear friend Emily, who battled ovarian cancer this summer. Emily is pretty amazing and has been a fantastic […]
Bull City Half Marathon Recap
On Sunday, I ran my 4th half marathon in Durham, North Carolina. This wasn’t a goal race for me, which is a good thing because there was an elevation gain of 930 feet! This was definitely not a flat and fast course. Ouch! This was a tough course and I was definitely challenged. My Garmin paused […]
Run + barre + an easy dinner
Last week, I ran a quick mile before an hour long barre class at Barre 3 in Georgetown. I was nervous about how I’d feel during barre class, but in truth I loved it! I felt like the quick run was an excellent warm up. And in turn, the barre class left me all stretched […]
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 […]

You are doing my October challenge, right? Okay, good. Now, since this challenge is particularly accessible I will be offering a different ramp up option each week to make it more challenging for you if you so desire.

Revisiting my 30 before 30 list

October Challenge!
I skipped doing a September Challenge but thought it’d be fun to do an October Challenge. This one is pretty simple — push ups! You can choose to do them on your knees if you’d like, but I encourage you to do them on your toes since this challenge starts with just five and we […]
A two-fer!
This week was a cut back week for me so I enjoyed the reduction in mileage. However, I couldn’t just have a normal cut back week. I decided to do a two-fer! On Saturday morning I ran a 5k that started at 8am. Then I walked .5 mile up hill and ran a 10k that […]
Five for Friday Fall Edition
Happy Friday! I am really looking forward to this weekend. The weather has been great and while it’s pretty jam packed, it should be a lot of fun. Here are some of the things I’m excited about: On Saturday, I’m running the Pacers Clarendon Day Double (5k + 10k) for my long run for the […]
How to Choose a Race
One of my favorite parts of being a runner is running races. I love the atmosphere, the excitement and the sense of accomplishment when I’m finished. However, it can be tough deciding which races should get your hard earned money. I feel like I’ve read one disastrous race recap / review after the other lately […]
