Here we are, nearly a quarter of the way through 2017. In typical fashion, time has both flown and seemed to stand still. I can’t believe it’s already the end of March, but I’ve never been so ready for spring! Since this is the Tuesday on the Run where we rate our runs for the…

That time I had to runfess to…
How is it nearly the end of February? Or really, how is it only February? Why do I ask that? Because I haven’t run in layers in weeks. In fact, yesterday I wore a Happy Girl and a tank top and was too hot. We shall rename 2017 the year without a winter. So, what…
TOTR: Three running wishes
Do you ever dream about just making a wish and having it come true? Are there things you’d choose if wishing on a shooting star really worked or someone handed you Aladdin’s lamp? I’m a big believer in working hard and striving for your dreams, but sometimes it’s nice to think about what I’d wish…
Tips for Marathon Training on the Treadmill
I was provided the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion in this sponsored post. Last winter, I did not have a treadmill.

Life hacks with running items
It’s Friday! Fr-fr-fr-Friday! My weeks are always busy, but not any more so than most people, but this week was somehow over the top. I had an onsite training to go to, 2 online trainings that I led, Shoo went to the chiropractor once and the physical therapist twice, and Beer Geek had a work…
TOTR: Running must haves
So, today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run is “I won’t run without…” I know some of you wrote about it last week, but all of us here at TOTR were in race recovery mode and not at our best last week. If you wrote about it already, feel free to write about any other…
Back to reality
You know how you spend time training and planning for something big and then it’s done and you are left coping with nothing on the horizon and feeling sort of deflated. Yeah, I have that post-high letdown going on. Two marathons, Ragnar, a 20th anniversary trip, and a fun party with friends filled the last…

Please welcome Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC! I’m still working on my goals for the year, so she offered to share hers today! Enjoy! Sometimes, I’m a bit of an overachiever. This week, the Friday Five is talking about goals and since I had ten goals, Erika was kind enough to let me share…
1 weekend, 4 events
It’s Monday. I’m tired. So, I’m linking up with Tara for a Weekend Update. We had an insanely fun weekend that included a Moms Run This Town holiday party, a meeting at Mad Fox Brewpub, and two Christmas parties. I don’t often need a weekend to recover from my weekend, but this was definitely one…
