Every few years I talk Beer Geek into venturing north to the cold and snow. So, we hopped on a plane last Sunday and headed to the land of beer, cheese, and most of my family. Meanwhile, back in DC, they were hitting record highs. Oh well. Our first day we headed to this funky…

White House Holiday Tour + rest of my weekend
This is one of those weeks where I totally need a weekend to recover from my weekend. And I have a crazy busy week ahead of me, so going into it exhausted pretty much guarantees it’s going to be a rough week. Did I mention that last week I was chosen to be an Altra…
State of the run
Despite a few high points (Center of the Nation series, Runner’s World Half and Festival weekend, and surviving the Marine Corps Marathon), I’ve had a rough fall when it comes to running. It took me almost two full months to recover from bronchitis and be able to breathe completely normally on a run again. Meanwhile,…
To streak or not to #RWrunstreak + #RWgo
Remember when I used to run a lot? Remember when 5 or 6 days a week was the norm for me? Yeah, those days ended in September and I’m having a really hard time getting back on the horse. I’m completely over the bronchitis (thank goodness) and my hip is mostly back to normal. But I’m…
How to safely become a streaker
You know I’m referring to run streaking, right? I mean *I’d* never do something as crazy as go streaking. Nope, not me. But I am run streaking. I’m on day 17 and so far, so good. It’s helping me rebuild my workout habit. 4-5 days a week are part of my training plan for my…
Weekend in a nutshell: good, bad, ugly
There was a lot of good in the weekend and thankfully only a little bit bad and ugly. I’m joining Tara over at Running ‘n’ Reading for my weekend update. So, let me tell you about the good. The biggest good: I’ve been chosen to be a 2015 Ambassador for Altra Running. I’m pretty excited…
The #RWRunStreak Continues
…barely. I have one of the stuffiest colds I have had in a LONG time. Overall, it’s probably the worst cold I’ve had in a couple of years, but the coughing is not quite as bad as the last really bad cold I had (seriously, the last truly bad cold had such a wicked cough…
Recovery
I’ve been doing the Runners World Run Streak this year. (If you follow me on facebook or twiter, you’ve heard about my adventures in getting it done.) I’ve never done it before. In fact, in previous streak attempts, I’ve never made it past 13 days. Today I’m at Day 20 and there’s only one reason…
I am not a streaker
And I’m ok with that. I’m doing Mel’s “Mile a day for December” challenge and I really thought I’d make sure I ran every day. She did give us an out a few days ago and say that walking counted too. Since December 1, I’ve run the following: 3 3.5 2.2 7 4 3.3 1…
