This weekend, I participated in the inaugural Nike Women’s Half Marathon DC. On Friday, I thought I would easily pick up my bib and cruise the Expotique since it was my only opportunity to do it without a child in tow. WRONG! I drove around super congested Georgetown for almost two hours to leave my car illegally parked, with a parking attendant across from the tent, for five minutes so I could breeze through the bib pick up line. {Read More}

I’m excited to get my hands on that box already! I promise to update you all on what is inside when I receive it, but in the meantime, if you want a discount on {Read More}
New Goals!
April 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
To start off the new year, I wrote a post about my goals for the year. I wanted to update you all on my progress and set some new goals for myself as we head into the summer. Goal #1. BE KIND TO MY BODY: I stink at this. I am keeping this as my number one goal because I do not stretch, ice, do yoga and foam roll nearly as regularly as I would like and it shows. My IT {Read More}

Last week, after the events in Boston, I really needed a pick me up. Wednesday, I got more than a pick me up as it was announced that I made Nuun‘s Hood to Coast Relay Team. I could not be more excited to join 19 other running bloggers on this journey! For a list of my teammates, be sure to check out Nuun’s team announcement here. Now it’s time to decide on my top three choices for leg preferences. Check {Read More}
Quiet.

To say this week has been emotional is an understatement. The roller coast of emotions started Sunday night. I was so very proud and excited for my friend Caitlin to be running in her very first marathon. I texted with her throughout the race day; yes, she can text and run. And then, all of a sudden, the little running tracker on the Boston Marathon website was no longer picking her up. I knew she was supposed to have crossed {Read More}
Dear Cait,

As you lay out your running gear tonight, I just wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you tomorrow as you run your very first Boston Marathon. Over the decade we have known each other, you have provided me more encouragement than you could ever know. Whether it was on the field hockey field in high school or giving me the confidence I needed to finish my first 10k after Cora’s birth, you were there. Somehow, {Read More}
Race Recap: Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run
April 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Despite the chilly temps and lack of fully blooming cherry blossoms, the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run offered an absolutely beautiful race course and atmosphere. The sun was just rising when I arrived off the metro; the sights were just stunning. Taking in the Capital and the Washington Monument never get old. I quickly made my way towards the Washington Monument, made use of the porta-potties, and headed to the bag check. I didn’t have {Read More}
Race Expo: Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run
April 9, 2013 by 5 Comments
Last Friday, I ended up having a bit of time to squeeze in the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run race expo. I figured it would be much easier heading to the expo solo rather than trying to bring my daughter along on Saturday. The expo was at the gorgeous National Building Museum, just across the street from the Judiciary Square Metro stop. Big thanks to the race organizers for making it super convenient to attend. There were plenty of volunteers {Read More}
