This past weekend was incredible! It always amazes me that working so hard can be so fun! I got into Providence on Thursday afternoon and met the rest of the ZOOMA crew for the drive to Falmouth. We headed to the Sea Crest where we met to course director for a drive around the course….
Race Weekend Runfessions
I’m writing this from the hotel room at the Sea Crest in Falmouth. Which is to say, my views are currently amazing! This weekend is ZOOMA Cape Cod and this is likely my last quiet moment before the wild ride begins. No matter how much planning you do, there are always surprises. The trick is…
Clarendon Day Double Race Recap
Clarendon Day Double September 22, 2018 1:49:29 Temp: 60s and humid What I wore: visor, tank top, a Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze skirt, and Altra Ones. September has been a challenging month so far. I managed one decent run – 12 miles with the last 6 in the pouring rain back in early September. Then the combination of…
Tap, Tap, Tap – Is this thing on???
Confession: I completely forgot about my blog this past weekend. I had intended to write a Friday Five post, but I got on the plane Thursday morning and my life became all ZOOMA all the time. I have no regrets. I’ve always loved being involved with races on the production side. I mean, I love…
How to put the ZING back in your relationship
Sometimes the excitement starts to wane. I mean we all get bored sometimes and start wondering if there’s something better out there. But we all want to keep things exciting and today on Tuesdays on the Run, I’m going to tell you how. Read and learn. Cheat. Well, let’s just start off with the big…
5 Fun Fall Fitness Activities in the DC Area
OK, I admit I tried to come up with an “F” word for activities, but this week has been about a million years long and I’m tired. Why is it that four day weeks always seem so much longer than a regular week? Is it because we are trying to get 5 days of work…
Race all the miles. Travel all the places.
This fall is looking a little crazy. In fact, I may have bitten off more than I can chew – especially considering I’m still babying my ankle a bit. But today on Tuesdays on the Run we are talking fall plans, so I’m going to put it all down “on paper” for the first time….
Friday Runfessions: 58 Days and Counting
This month has flown by as I madly juggle all of the balls I have in the air. Some days I predict things will completely fall on my head, but most of the time I manage to pull things out. As we approach the first of the fall ZOOMA races, I’m only mildly in panic…
DuClaw Mad Bishop Oktoberfest Pork Schnitzel
Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Mad Bishop Oktoberfest. All opinions and the schnitzel recipe are my own. Welcome to the Augus edition of “Cooking with Beer”! Each month DuClaw Brewing sends me a beer and a friend and I create a recipe. It’s a fun time to think outside the box…
This is 48: wrapping up a year
This past weekend, I turned 48. As I get closer and closer to a new big round number, I keep thinking I’ll start freaking out about getting old. But I feel better at 48 than I did at 47 (well, except for that pesky ankle/heel issue.) Last year at this time, I was deep in…
Have Skirt Sports, Will Travel #sisterhoodofthetravelingskirt
Post contains Affliliate links, which means that if you purchase through them, I get paid a small commission. It’s been about 7 years since I first put on a Skirt Sports skirt and went out for a run. That first skirt was the Happy Hour skirt (basically a Happy Girl without the pockets). I fell…
The summer where no running goals were met
This has been an interesting year for me so far. In some ways it was super planned (our trip to Australia and New Zealand) and some ways it’s been completely a “roll with the punches” year. I’m still dealing with the hail damaged rental car, my kitchen is still not started, and Monday I worked…
