Good morning and Happy New Year! The Streak: As some of you may remember I've committed to a Run Streak for January. This means that I'll be running at least 1 mile every day and doing a short post about it here for #accountability! For those of you who have decided to participate please share … Continue reading NYRR Midnight Run! #RunStreak Day 1
In November I made the decision to take on the NaNoWriMo challenge which I am proud to say I completed! I wrote a (terrible!) 50,000 word novel in under 30 days. This is why you haven't heard from me. While I still made running a priority, writing about it was impossible while I was slogging … Continue reading November Recap: Race for CHiPS & Turkey Trot for Project Echo
Boy does time fly when you have a half marathon ahead of you. The day of the race seemed to really sneak up on me this year and now I can't really believe how far away it seems. I would like to begin this post by saying that I love Baltimore and I love … Continue reading Baltimore Running Festival 1/2 Marathon for BoMF

Shatterproof is committed to helping individuals and families affected by addiction with a focus on … Continue reading Rise Up: SHATTERPROOF 5k
For the second year in a row I ran the Tunnel 2 Towers race for the Stephen Siller Foundation. Last year I ran with my folks, but this year I am proud to say I ran with a team of my coworkers sponsored by Myriad as part of our charitable giving initiative. Our team ran … Continue reading Tunnel 2 Towers 2017
The Race to the "Creek" 5K took place on the 4th of July to raise money for the Patuxent High Cross Country team (That was my high school 100 years ago!). When my mom sent me a link to sign up for this 5K I was excited that I would be visiting Maryland that week … Continue reading Race to the “Creek” 5K
Another year another maniac. I've written before about this gritty muddy obstacle race and how dirty and intense it is, and all of that is still true. As the day of the race approached I found myself fearing certain obstacles more than in years previous. Year one, I tumbled over the "Blobstacle" with a decidedly … Continue reading Rugged Maniac 2017!
On June 3rd I joined some of my Rugged Maniac team mates for a fun run that bills it'self as "The World’s first Running Music Festival" at the Aviator Sports & Events Center in Brooklyn. The Night Nation Run website states clearly that if you are hoping for a PR, this is probably not the … Continue reading Night Nation Run!
On April 29th I got back into the 5k game with the Run for the Wild 5k at the Bronx Zoo! With 5,197 participants this race was pretty huge. It was amazing to see such a turn out to support The Wildlife Conservation Society! Personally I cannot imagine trying to organize an event for that … Continue reading Run for the Wild 5k
Over the weekend I ran the Santa Dash with my company sponsored team! Have I said before how proud I am of the charitable giving at Myriad? Well I am. Not only did they pick up the race registration for myself and my team (this is the third race they have sponsored a team for), … Continue reading Santa Dash! “Running” in slush
