#NationalRunningDay

Apparently, today is National Running Day. I really have no idea what that means. Do I buy a card? Do people get me gifts because I’m a runner? Can I get some free running shoes somewhere? In any case, today I wasn’t planning to run. I really haven’t done much running since my most recent…

Rocking and Rolling. My Third Half Marathon

This weekend I had the awesome opportunity to fly down to Nashville for the first time. I’ve done some traveling lately, but all to cities I’ve been to before. I was excited for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I would be running my third half marathon, the St. Jude Country Music Rock and…

I was not expecting the entire second floor of the Niagara Convention Center to…

#JackiesHalf

This past weekend, I got the chance to catch up with a lot of old friends. Most of them are runners. Most have run half marathons in the past, and now that the snow is beginning to melt – or at least it’s supposed to – they’re all back to training for this year’s set…
