I cannot believe that in 24 hours Karen and I will be at the starting line for our very first marathon. If I said I wasn't emotional, I'd be lying. I've come pretty close to crying no less than 10 times a day for the last few days. But not because I'm sad or I'm …

Earlier this year, I gave up making playlists for running. Not because I don't still love running to great music, but between work, blogging, Twitter conversations, actually running, and sleep, I was slacking. And then I found RockMyRun, and never turned back. I love their mixes, because I can change my mix depending on my …

This week, my fellow bloggers have shared awesome posts about packing for Disney, playlists for Disney, making it through Disney, and about 400 other things at Disney.

But I committed, and Karen and I partnered up with a ChallengeLoop to get others involved with it. I …

2013 was a year of amazing accomplishments, lots of firsts, smiles and tears. I've said for months that I'm so ready for a new year, and it's almost here, so I've been spending a lot of time thinking about my goals. But tonight I'm doing the Resolution Run with Philadelphia Runner, so I wanted to …
My 2014 Goals post is coming tomorrow in connection with the Philadelphia Runner Resolution Run with Nike. Yesterday I had some thoughts about the the New Year and decided to share. Yesterday, I saw dozens of quotes about 2014 being a new book. This bothers me. You can't disregard the years prior, you can only …
There's less than 24 hours in 2013, and I've been ready for it to be over since September. But let's back up a bit and see why. I did my 2013 running recap, and while running was a huge part of my life, 2013 was probably the year of the most change in my life …
Although I'm back in Philly, I'm still on vacation until Thursday. So what am I spending my last 2 days of 2013 doing? If you guessed running, you're right, at least partially. My plans for the next couple of days are setting me up to be successful in a few of my goals in 2014, …
