I love to travel. I love to run. I love it even more when I can combine the two activities. After all, my header is designed to record my races in different states.(Beer Geek and I are already talking about retiring and buying an RV and traveling the country, collecting counties and hitting up races.)…

TOTR: Race of my dreams
Know what’s more exhausting than running multiple long runs in a week? Walking around the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry for an entire day. Don’t get me wrong – it was absolutely amazing. But we got back to the hotel and I really wanted to go to bed at 7pm. Today we will hit the…
RNR DC Weekend Recap
This weekend was crazy: crazy fun, crazy cold, crazy stressful, crazy busy. No boring here this weekend. I’m linking up with Tara over at Running ‘n’ Reading for my weekend recap.
Tips for running when it’s below freezing
Virginia has decided it wants to be a Northern state. I’m kind of crabby about it because why should I have to run on 100* 99% humidity days in the summer and in negative windchill in the winter. Must we really have both extremes? Anyways, Friday wasn’t so bad – I got in a nice 3 miles…
Weekend update + MotivateMe Monday
How is it Monday already? I’m pretty sure someone stole some of my hours this weekend. Today I’m linking up with Tara with my weekend update and Rachel and Janice with my plans for the week. My parents got here on Thursday afternoon, so I had a running partner for my Friday run. And running with…
Beer Lovers with a Running Problem: the Hash House Harriers
I have long been intrigued by the concept of the Hash House Harriers. I know that if I had started running before kids, I would have at least given them a trial run, but I didn’t even hear of them until after we had two kids. So, when Heather responded to my plea for posts…
Five tips for keeping beer in a healthy lifestyle
Last night, we went to a holiday beer tasting at my favorite local brewpub, Mad Fox. I had the opportunity to taste beers and meet brewers from local breweries like DuClaw, Devil’s Backbone, Port City, and Hardywood.
DuClaw Brewing Sweet Baby Jesus Cupcakes
Yes. I made cupcakes using DuClaw Brewing’s Sweet Baby Jesus beer and they were AH-MAZ-ING! Backstory: I have a friend who loves beer more than I do (yes, it’s possible). He’s also a better cook and a better runner. So, when we got invited to his and his wife’s holiday party and, when I offered,…
Five Favorites Friday + some housecleaning
How is it Friday again? This year is just flying by and I haven’t even ordered anyone a present yet. All I have are the boys’ pajamas that I buy them every year at Christmas. That.is.it. Oh, and I have 2 pairs of wool socks coming for Beer Geek, but we don’t exchange presents, so…
Thinking out loud
I apologize in advance for the mind dump that this post will be. If you’d like to read something coherent, pop on over to Eat Pray Run DC where I’m sharing 5 things I’ve learned in 20 years of marriage. (And if you like that, you should check out how marriage is like fitness…) [Tweet…
Thankful Friday
Happy day after Thanksgiving! We had a nice day with family and now we will spend the rest of the weekend playing with friends. Win! Today’s Friday Five topic is Gratitude, so I’m going to tell you 5 thinks I’m thankful for this year. (And huge thanks to Courtney, Mar, and Cynthia for this fun…
5 Beers that will keep you warm this winter
It’s Friday. Fr-Fr-Friday! I’m ready for Friday. It’s been a super long week (how is it that a day that had a holiday in it can seem longer than a normal week?). Know what’s awesome about Friday? Friday Five with Courtney, Cynthia and Mar AND a beer. I know today’s topic is “Cold Weather Running…
