Are We Having Fun Yet? A Race Recap of the Broad Street Run
On Sunday, May 6, 2012, I ran the Broad Street Run, a 10-mile straight shot down a street called, you guessed it, Broad Street in Philadelphia. Billed as “the country’s oldest 10-miler,” it’s a great race: well organized, flat and slightly downhill course, and enthusiastic, …
Hey, Was That an Elf I Saw Run By? or The Run-n-Retch: A Race Recap of the 2012 St. Luke’s 5k in Allentown, PA
Dear Readers, Well, I did it. I ran my first official 5k race…and it was every bit of an oh-my-gawd-that-sucked-so-bad experience that was promised to me. It was also awesome and exciting and yes a bit elvish. On Sunday, April 29, 2012, I ran the …
Running the Numbers
It’s official. I am obsessed. I haven’t quite progressed to compulsive, but I have progressed from infatuation to obsession. Six years ago, I found myself interested in running, which evolved to infatuation, and now has evolved to complete obsession. But strangely, the obsession isn’t over …
Fear of Fast
Have you ever been scared of something and you don’t know why? When I was a little kid, we took a short, late summer vacation trip to Amelia Island, Florida, which is just north of Jacksonville where I grew up. My parents rented a condo …

I am almost done putting the site back together, but unfortunately the photos attached to all of my posts are gone. Yes, yes, I still have them on my computer, but it would take quite some time to reupload them into WordPress and then re-embed …

D2E Update: No Complainin’ ‘bout the Trainin’ but Could do More for the Core
Training has been going really well. Who knew that intervals really work? Not THIS girl…until now anyway. I still got a long way to go, but my “easy” pace is getting faster, my “cruising” pace is getting faster, and those God-awful tempo miles are getting …
There and Back Again: A Race Report of the 2012 Quakertown Rotary 4 Miler
I had one of those “You know you love running when…” moments at 5:30am this past Saturday morning, March 3, 2012. I say this because of the obvious, which is that I got up at 5:30am on a Saturday morning to run. But just to …

A Runner Apparition
There was a dark lecture hall, a thousand plus miles from my home. The aged hall, 150 years old, was the size of a football field. Large, thick pillars lined each side of the hall. The plastered, vaulted ceiling, criss-crossed with dark beams of wood …

Have you run with a buddy lately?
During the fall of 2005, when I was a young, spritely 37 years old, RB moved in next door to me…she was 33. We hit it off right from the beginning. Like me, she was a mother to young children, career-minded, and liked books and …
