Super windy day for the Diva 5K but that didn’t stop any the 700 participants from getting out and running. So great to see so many women out celebrating their beauty and strength. I really was surprised that they had so many participants for their first year and think they did a great job organizing. [...]

I’ve only had 2 races where I feel like I fell apart, they both happened on warm, high humidity days. So when I awoke on race morning and the temperature said in the mid to high 60s with 90-100% (yes accuweather said 100%) humidity I wasn’t exactly thrilled. But instead of adjusting my race plan [...]

I started this blog one year ago the day before I ran the 3M half marathon. It was an amazing experience, I loved it and after I completed it I really felt like a runner and knew I wanted to do a full in the fall. This year once again I ran the 3M. I [...]

The whole turtle family ran this..first time the four of us have run in a race together. Comfortably chilly, Holiday music blasting out the speakers, light display, hot chocolate and cookies at the finish line=perfection. It was great to run a race that was not timed, no pressure to PR but just go out and [...]
