Running with my daughter and Women’s Running Race Series
My daughter will be 6 years old in a few months. The years seem to slip away like a ballon from a child's hands. Other than my daughter and I, the house is full of boys, even our cat Ghost is a boy... and acts like one too. Watching birds is a like a sporting event to him. It's impossible to take a good picture or get his attention while he's watching the "game"! Oftentimes my daughter and I end up spending alone time together while all of my boys do their "man" things. We love to do … [Read More...]

My running playlist and a Koss Headphone Review #Fit4Life:
When my package from Koss came to the front door, I was really excited. You see, I am fortunate enough to represent a company called FitFluential and through this affiliation, I have many opportunities to test out fitness related products such as the new FitSeries headphones by Koss. Generally, I am someone who does not exercise with music, but lately I have been needing a little extra motivation on those really tough tempo and long runs, so when I had a chance to review these headphone, I … [Read More...]
Lock Laces Review
There is nothing more annoying than having to stop what you are doing, especially a work out, to tie your shoe. Just ask my training partners, I can't tell you how many times I've gotten the eye roll because I made everyone stop so I could triple tie my shoe for the second time. I have also received the stink eye from my son's baseball coach when he quadruple tied my son's cleats due to my inadequate tying skills. Although I have come undone in a few races, thank goodness my laces never have. … [Read More...]
Getting ready for Mountains 2 Beach Marathon
I don't think I've even talked about this, but I am running another marathon in three weeks. I've had my eye on Mountain 2 Beach marathon since they launched it 2011, but we were living in Virginia at that time. Then last year I ran my first 50K around the same time. So this year, I signed up. I love local races for many reasons, but this one just seemed ideal, a gentle downhill course that starts in the mountains of Ojai CA. and ends at the beach in Ventura. It isn't perfect timing, … [Read More...]
Nuun Hood to Coast, Cherry Limeade Slush and a giveaway

Talk about a dream come true, I have longed to be on this very special team for several years and now that dream is becoming a reality! I am so incredibly grateful and honored. I can't think of a better thing to do than to spend three sleepless nights with 19 other women doing the one thing that bonds us together: sharing our passion for running. I am so … [Read More...]
