I believe very strongly in the saying “young at heart.” No matter your age, you really are only as old as you want to be and I think it’s very healthy to be able to flip on the “kid switch” whenever adult life just becomes too much. If you take life too seriously it will [...]

The problem with running a lot is that when you get to the point in your week where it’s the “off day,” you just don’t feel quite right. At least I don’t. Friday is my day off from running but my day on for squats, lunges, and other strength workouts that I hate. My head [...]
Every now and then when I go to put on earrings in the morning I do a quick sweep through my pile to see if my fake pearl-like earrings that I bought two years ago from Anthropologie might magically have reappeared. Alas, they continue to be missing and I have no idea when I actually [...]
I have had many treadmill phases in my running life and it’s hard to remember whether or not I truly ever enjoyed running on the treadmill. Since training for the B&A Marathon started, it makes sense to run outside as often as possible to be best prepared for whatever weather comes my way March 1. [...]
Everyone I know anyone during any stage of life can admit that they have been a clock watcher at one point or another. I personally, am obsessed with time though I couldn’t tell you why. I have two clocks in my bedroom, eight if you count the cell phone and watches. The kitchen has two [...]
I experienced running in snow for the first time today. The forecast had predicted only a 30 percent chance of snow for the morning hours and as much as I do love looking at the weather forecast, it doesn’t mean I always believe what I read. So when I flipped the porch light on to [...]
Going to the grocery store is one of my favorite things to do. I’m a very list and task-oriented person so the entire grocery getting experience almost always satisfies my personality. I start with trying to find new recipes that I want to make (double checking that my husband will eat them), list out ingredients [...]
It has been on my calendar for a few weeks now to attend what I believe is the 13th annual Polar Bear Plunge held at Sandy Point State Park to raise money for Maryland’s Special Olympics. A girlfriend of mine had a team with her Rams Head co-workers and I had agreed to be her [...]

Every now and then we seem to experience a “heat wave” during the winter. I wouldn’t describe today’s forecast as being beach weather, but it certainly has been a nice day and from the looks of Facebook posts, today has given lots of folks spring fever. I decided to take a mini-outdoor break myself to [...]

When I really got into running it was during college in Charleston, South Carolina. Despite the fact that the sidewalks in Charleston are a random mix of uneven brick, cobblestone, and old cement ruptured by tree roots growing through them, I typically ran on the sidewalk rather than the street. Streets were for cars, sidewalks [...]
