Little River Run 5K – April 21, 2018

Mini road trip! It’s the Little River Run 5K! We made our way north to Adel, Georgia to run through Reed Bingham State Park. The race was previously known as the Road Kill Run, which is exactly what you feel like when you’re done.

Tomoka Half Marathon – March 24, 2018

Who decides, out of nowhere, to run 13.1 miles for fun? Normal people don’t do that. I know, because I used to be normal.

Normal people would be at home,Continue reading “Tomoka Half Marathon – March 24, 2018”

Don’t Run With Scissors 5K – March 17, 2018

Mom always said don’t play ball in the house. Wait. That was the mom from The Brady Bunch. But I’m sure at some point, knowing my mum, she said not to run with scissors. Until a few years ago I didn’t run at all, much less with scissors. Ah, the good old days. We’ve done thisContinue reading “Don’t Run With Scissors 5K – March 17, 2018”

January 13, 2018 – Resolution Run 5K

Our first “official” run of 2018! The Resolution Run 5K benefits the Boys & Girls Club. We ran it last year, and my finish time was 51:10. A year later, having lost 37 lbs., I hoped to run it a little faster. And I did. It was COLD. Snot-freezing, finger-numbing cold. The kind of coldContinue reading “January 13, 2018 – Resolution Run 5K”
