Happy Friday! I am keeping it short and sweet today as I am currently trekking up to the mountains of Maryland to drop off my son at summer camp. Since it is Friday, I thought it would be fun to look back at some of my favorite June workout photo memories. It's been a busy month so far around here. Favorite June Workout Photo Memories Getting caught in an unexpected downpour and ducking for cover in a gazebo to wait it out. Forgot how great that rain felt. Finishing the Reston Sprint … [Read more...]
What To Do When You Get Your Period On Race Day
Yup I am talking about periods today. We are all mother runners here and we all have them but no one really talks about them. Throughout adulthood, our cycles can be so erratic it's darn near impossible to plan out your race schedule around them. So many races require registration way in advance and you just have to hope it's not "that day". This happened to me recently right before my last tri race and I was in quite a tizzy. I went to some of my favorite mother runners for advice on what they … [Read more...]

How To Host A Scavenger Hunt Run

We are fortunate enough to have the help of our local Road Runner Sports store to organize this with us but you can certainly set up something like this on your own with your running besties.

Swim, Bike & Run -Reston Sprint Triathlon
On Sunday I completed my 7th Reston Sprint Triathlon-yep I have been at it that long! I first started "tri"ing in 2007 and took a few years off somewhere in there and came back to it 2 years ago. I have been training a little differently this year and I think I've finally learned a few things. Here's a little re cap of how the Swim, Bike & Run went down. 10 years ago this was a small, local race with only 300 participants. Fast forward 10 years and, as the sport of triathlon exploded … [Read more...]
