Disclaimer: Spartan gave me a free race entry for a friend in exchange for this post. I admit I’ve never run a Spartan race. I actually don’t have any interest in running an obstacle race, but if I were going to run one, it would be a Spartan race. One of my good friends races…

Will run for swag (or beer or bling)
It’s time for Friday Five with Cynthia, Courtney, and Mar. This week’s topic is “best race swag”. I’ve gotten some great swag over the years including hats, half zips, bottle openers, and glasses. And Skirt Sports has given out some cute tops and skirts for their virtual races. But here are my favorites.. 1. The…
TOTR: Where I run + 10 minute workout
Do you walk out your door and hit the road? Head to your basement or workout room and jump on the treadmill? Fit in a run near your office during lunch? Inquiring minds (or April, Patty, and myself LOL) want to know. So here’s where I run… Before kids, when I worked downtown, I used…
Bucket List Race: Spokane to Sandpoint Relay
Every once in a while, I stumble upon a race I want to do someday. I’ve decided I’m going to start a series of “bucket list” races so that I don’t forget about them LOL. This is not a sponsored post, just me talking about what I love: traveling, racing, and beer. And this race…

Gone for a Run: All 4 Run Virtual 4 Mile Race
We all know I can’t resist a race. I’m really kind of an addict. I’m not good at pushing myself when I’m doing a training run, so I need a reason to go harder and faster than my usual long run pace. Luckily for me, a virtual race works to push me as well. Add…
It’s definitely summer here
High heat and lightning. That pretty much sums up my weekend. But, you know me, I can’t leave it at that, so I’m linking up with Tara at Running ‘n’ Reading and Erin at Her Heartland Soul with my weekend update. And we have more of the lovely same weather this week. Ugh, I’m over…
Discount Code Roundup
It occurred to me last night that I am regularly sharing discount codes here, but not all of them are on my sidebar. So, to make it easy on my readers, I’m putting all of my codes in one place. I will likely turn this into a link from my top bar at some point….
5 things to love about LONG distance running
It’s time for Friday Five again! And even though today is National Donut Day, the lovely ladies in the DC Trifecta (Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney), decided that they’d like to talk about National Running Day. Personally, I’d rather talk about my five favorite donut flavors (chocolate cake donut, chocolate filled donut, chocolate frosted donut, anything…

TOTR: Compression – Yay or Nay?
Today on Tuesdays on the Run, April, Patty, and I are talking about compression. We want to know: do you wear it? Do you think it works for you? In what way? And what are your favorite brands? These days, compression gear is available to “squeeze” pretty much any body part you feel the need…
Ultimate Coffee Date – May!
I can’t believe it is May 1 already. Or that I have 3 races to run left this spring and they will all be done in 9 days. Gah! As you are reading this, I’m out running a marathon, but I’m still joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date. If…
