Let the Hard Work Pay Off

If you’re running Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah in just a couple of weeks (you got this, FYI!), your long(est) runs are done and over.  Sure, you still have a few that are longer than your garden-variety training jaunts, but most of the hard work is now completed and it’…

Reclaiming Your Mojo

I spoke with a good friend last week, post-run, and he admitted that he was having a hard time finding motivation in the lead-up to a right-around-the-corner marathon in which he'll be competing; he was concerned because A.) some of his long runs hadn't gone to plan and B.) he simply hadn't …

Running: The Magic Elixir

I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to write this, because it’s truthfully kind of gross.  But I knew Robert would approve, because he and I wholeheartedly agreed on its merits during our numerous discussions on the matter, so I figured I’d roll with it all the same…

Evening Do's and Don'ts

When I sat down to write this, I literally said aloud “I have no clue what I’m going to write about this week.”  So I then thought back to my last couple of runs, trying to remember what, if anything, stuck out to me; personal experience is a great writing tool (and te…

We Never Regret the Run

When I went to bad last night, I had every intention of getting up this morning for a short shakeout run.  When my alarm went off this morning, bright and early, I rethought those intentions…the bed was just feeling too darn good, and I had just run 20 miles yesterday (if you want…

One Week = Two Ways to Have Fun

Another weekend, another fantastic race day!—thanks to all of those that showed up, whether to run or just spectate, for the Run for Jane in beautiful Isle of Hope.  The weather held, the course is always stunning, and the post-race goodies are always second to none.

A Little of Both

When is a little bit of rain during a race perfectly acceptable, or perhaps even sought out?  When that race is the Saucony XC (Cross Country) Kickoff Classic, of course!  Each year, over 30 teams from Georgia and South Carolina toe the line in both the Boys and Girls Var…

Get to Gallivanting

Well, we finally had zero excuse to bypass running; this weekend’s weather was a full 20 degrees cooler than it has been (yes, I’m excluding Sunday—it helps my story flow a little better if I do), which made each step seem just that little bit easier.  3 miles became 4…

It's Time to Race!

Race season is upon us…which means school is about to be back in session (or already is, in some cases) and the year has flown by! Where, oh where, did my summer go?—I had such high hopes for it…and all it gave in return was high temps and running weather that made me feel …

Here To Stay

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve heard the same two sentiments spoken enough that they really stick out to me: 1.) We’re so sorry for your loss and 2.) Will the store stay open?  I’m not surprised by #1; I expect to hear that for a long, long time because of the im…
