The ZOOMA Annapolis course hates me. Okay, so that might be a bit dramatic. But, the rolling hills, the bridge and the temperatures had it in for me last year and I even ran close to a personal worst. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but I am heading back to Annapolis in 2014. The third time is a charm, right? So with that being said, yes, I’m out for a redemption run in 2014. {2012 and 2013 race recaps {Read More}
Last year I devoted a post to ZOOMA 2012 swag and it still gets page views every time a ZOOMA event is on the horizon. Runners like to know that their race entry fee is going to come back to them in the form of swag. And, I have to say, that ZOOMA know how to make a runner happy.

Since we were not pre-registered this was my last chance to bail on the half marathon and run the 10k. Since I hate the idea of {Read More}
I cannot believe that ZOOMA Annapolis is almost here. It feels like ages ago that I applied to be a race ambassador and was accepted! And well, race week is here! I swear, I love this race but this race must not love me. Last year, I almost didn’t run because of some family issues that interfered with my training. And this year, I have to say, with the stress of work and the move, my lack of training has {Read More}
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}
