Six State Challenge to Honor My Nampie & a Giveaway
A few weeks ago I started wishing I had done fundraising for my next half-marathon because I'll be running it on the day my Nampie (grandfather) passed away 2 years ago from Lymphoma. I don't think he ever ran, but I fondly remember our matching velour jogging suits in the 80's. I love the idea …

I could actually feel my blood pressure …

What would they say about you?
As a girl, I was obsessed with pageants. I loved Miss America and Miss USA, and until I realized I'd be short and have big thighs forever, I believed someday, I could be Miss Maine. Now that I'm an adult, I realize there are a ton of things that aren't great about pageants, but there …

I'm on week #2 of 4 of 6 day a week travel. I leave my temporary apartment in Birmingham on Sunday morning, and return Friday night. …

While I've run for several years, this was the first time I ran for National Running Day. I was really pumped about it, to the point that if I hadn't been doing a tempo run and on the verge of falling over, I wanted to shout "happy national running day" to everyone I passed on …
