    • Your turn! If we were having an ultimate coffee date, what would you Runfess and tell me? Looking forward to any Holiday parties? Entering the Cherry Blossom lottery?

Runfessions with the Ultimate Coffee Date

If we were having coffee, I would Runfess and tell you…

Tomorrow is our end of the season 5K race for the fall Girls on The Run Season. I am so excited to celebrate with our almost 70 girls on their achievement. Stay tuned for more details next week. Fingers crossed for good weather.

If we were having coffee, I would Runfess and tell you…

I did not get selected in the lottery to run the New York City Half. While bummed at first, I quickly remedied that by signing up for the Jingle All The Way 15K next weekend. I feel like I need an excuse to wear this tank top. Wouldn’t you agree?

If we were having coffee, I would Runfess and tell you…

I will be entering the lottery tomorrow for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler race in April. It’s one of my favorite DC races. I know some of you are thinking about entering as well. Fingers crossed we all get in! Party in DC. By party I mean carbs, going to bed early and running.

Cherry Blossom 10 miler

If we were having coffee, I would Runfess and tell you…

My family gave me a real camera for birthday a few weeks ago. I have absolutely no idea how to use it but I am excited to learn. I would love to become a better photographer and up my game with the food pictures.

Runfessions and Ultimate Coffee Date

If we were having coffee, I would Runfess and tell you…

Our annual MRTT holiday party is next weekend and I could not be more excited! This is last year’s photo and we expect an even bigger group this year. We clean up well!

About Deborah Brooks

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    Looks like you have a lot coming up! Enjoy that camera! I have a very very old cannon but it still works. Lol

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 8:24 am

      Yes I am excited about learning how to use it!

  2. Marcia says

    11/30/2018 at 6:35 am

    I runfess I have one of those “real” cameras and the teenager ended up taking it to school for her photography class…cuz I never use it. My bad. Sorry about the NYC half but yes, you NEED to wear that fun tank!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 8:25 am

      I hope I can figure out how to use the camera and it does not just sit there staring at me. The tank is fun 🙂

  3. Wendy says

    11/30/2018 at 7:28 am

    I hope we all get in too! Fingers crossed.

    Good luck on your race!!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 8:25 am

      Me too! It will be a blast

  4. Maureen @ Maureen Gets Real says

    11/30/2018 at 7:39 am

    I love that tank top – so cute! Fingers crossed you get into the Cherry Blossom 10 miler.

    Wow your MRTT group is huge. Seeing things like that is why I love the running community so much.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 8:26 am

      Exactly why I love the running community as well!

  5. Debbie says

    11/30/2018 at 8:12 am

    My husband gave me a real camera a few years ago and I still haven’t learned to use it properly. I guess I’ll add that to my new year’s goals. Again. 😝

    You have such a great group of MRTT runners! I always say this but I need to check to see if there’s a chapter (? Club?) near me.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 8:33 am

      I think you should start your own MRTT chapter! You would be great at “running” it

  6. Kimberly Hatting says

    11/30/2018 at 8:34 am

    Your MRTT group is huge!!!! I wish I had a group like that in my area 😉 (At least my virtual group is solid). I”m hopeful the Cherry Blossom comes through for us!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 8:36 am

      our virtual group is indeed solid! Fingers crossed for CB it will be a blast!

  7. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    11/30/2018 at 11:19 am

    That’s a great camera! I have the same one and runfess I’ve never properly learned to use all of the features 😉 Good luck tomorrow with GOTR!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 3:41 pm

      I hope it’s not too complicated to figure out! I am so not good with those kinds of things

  8. Laurie says

    11/30/2018 at 12:28 pm

    Enjoy your camera! I am anxious to hear how you like it. I would like to get better at photography. Maybe I will ask Santa for a camera next year!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 3:42 pm

      I would like to get better at photography as well especially with food photos.

  9. Lesley says

    11/30/2018 at 12:38 pm

    I’m thinking of asking for a real camera for my birthday. I want to do a cruise in 2020 and want a better camera than my phone and digital camera. None of them zoomed very well in Alaska, and I want better pictures the next time around.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 3:42 pm

      WE could not capture the sunsets or really the whole atmosphere of Alaska either with the iphones I agree

  10. Nellie Acevedo says

    11/30/2018 at 2:01 pm

    omg that mug is so awesome!! This is the first year I’m not entering the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, I got in twice but both times I was unable to make it 🙁 I hope you get in!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 3:43 pm

      Oh bummer! Yes I have done it a number of times and just love that race

  11. Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says

    11/30/2018 at 3:36 pm

    I runfess that I totally spazzed on the fact that tomorrow is time for tea, so you’ll have to make due with my runfessions. 🙂

    Have a great race tomorrow! And party next weekend!

    Some day I’d love to run the Cherry Blossom race.The one year I lived in MD I did not go down to see them. What was I thinking?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 3:45 pm

      WE will let you slide this time! 🙂 Thanks excited for our GOTR race

  12. Karen says

    11/30/2018 at 3:48 pm

    Sorry about not making it into the lottery, but that shirt is precious and I definitely think the Jingle Bell race is perfect for it! Have a great weekend!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/30/2018 at 6:10 pm

      Aww thanks! Already over it

  13. Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says

    12/01/2018 at 8:45 am

    Boo to not getting in to NYC. I’d consider Cherry Blossom but I’m a little gunshy about races with a lottery right now lol. That Jingle Jog sounds fun!

    I’ve heard great things about that camera, especially for bloggers! Looking forward to seeing how you like it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/01/2018 at 5:40 pm

      ha I am looking forward to trying to figure out how to use it. I do not think that Cherry Blossom is as competitive as NYC but nothing to lose by entering just saying 🙂

  14. Coco says

    12/01/2018 at 9:23 am

    Good luck with the 5K today! I think the weather is pretty good for December 1st! So bummed I can crash your MRTT chapter party but I know it will be so much fun.
    Can I talk you into the Parkway Classic this year? 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/01/2018 at 6:34 pm

      Thanks our race is tomorrow happier it looks a little warmer for the little girls. Not sure about the Parkway Classic. I’ve never done it! I have to see how things are going

  15. Farrah Fong says

    12/01/2018 at 4:50 pm

    That’s amazing that there’s so many girls involved! I hope you got good weather, and I hope you have fun with the 15K! That tank top is cute!!

    I feel like I need one of those books for my DSLR!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/01/2018 at 6:35 pm

      I am really excited about our race tomorrow-I love to see all their little smiles cross the finish line

  16. Kim G says

    12/01/2018 at 6:20 pm

    I love that tank and it will be perfect for the Jingle All the Way 15K.

    So cool that you have a real camera to work with. Imagine all the awesomefood and running photos you can take with it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/01/2018 at 6:35 pm

      Yes if I can figure out how to work it!!

  17. Akaleistar says

    12/01/2018 at 7:37 pm

    That red tank is awesome 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2018 at 3:55 pm

      it’s a fun one huh?! Hope it fits 🙂

  18. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    12/01/2018 at 8:27 pm

    Congrats to all of your girls running their GOTR race tomorrow. You must be so proud of them all!

    That tank is super cute – good luck on your race next weekend!

    Thanks for the linkup!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2018 at 4:00 pm

      I love the GOTR program so much!

  19. Cari says

    12/01/2018 at 10:51 pm

    Thanks for the Cherry Blossom reminder . I don’t know if I can/want to do it this year, but I love that they have the sanctioned swap

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2018 at 4:00 pm

      yes it would be fun to come to DC and do it! Let me know what you decide

      • Cari says

        12/02/2018 at 4:19 pm

        Will do! Awaiting a couple schedule pieces, but have entered

        • Deborah Brooks says

          12/02/2018 at 4:45 pm

          Great good luck!

  20. HoHo Runs says

    12/02/2018 at 4:21 pm

    I bummed that I didn’t get in the NYC Half either. I think a Christmas themed race should cheer us both up, though! I adore that red tank! Thanks for coffee.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/02/2018 at 4:45 pm

      Yes I agree to both!
