So, hey, December came out of nowhere, huh! That means it’s time to announce our virtual run winners! Thanks to you all, we raised an unbelievable $1,426 for the Red Cross!

I was relaxing with Brendan and feeling very lazy. I had 12 miles on the schedule and didn’t really feel like trekking all the … Continue reading »
I’ve had quite the dilemma this morning…WHAT DO I DO ON A RUN-LESS SATURDAY? I have the Bronx 10-Mile race tomorrow morning, so there is a big hole in my AM festivities.

As you may recall, I’m a big fan of Saucony’s “Find Your Strong” campaign. Remember them? I’m also a big fan of winning running stuff. (What! Who doesn’t like winning?) Naturally, I have fun entering running-related contests and dreaming about the possibility of those new shoes or that sweet jacket. Even better? When the contest … Continue reading »
