When you are with a new running partner, there is inevitably a moment where you check each other out. No, I don’t mean like that. I mean you check to see what shoes she is wearing and what gear she has. I have to admit on Tuesday, I turned green with running gear envy. She …
It was truly one of those runs where you don’t know where, but you are getting more and more energy with each step (and I needed one of those after the bad runs last week!) and you end up running way more than the time budget you had allowed yourself. In my case, I decided …
It’s become a habit when I come in from a run that my asthmatic lungs demand that I stretch out on the floor and stare at the ceiling for a couple of minutes. I learned early on in my life as a runner that I had to do this to give my heart and lungs …

It took me awhile to warm up to cold running, but there’s something about bundling up and hitting the pavement that makes me feel so hardcore. See, it’s easy to be a spring/summer runner because it’s so nice outside, but it takes something deeper and more intense to risk having your eyelashes frozen for a …
I’ve known this for awhile, but I’m not a city runner. The problem is that I always end up in cities and I can’t help but need to run. So, either I have to adjust or I have to find those places that make you feel like you aren’t in a city. I found that …
There’s something about running beside water. I look out and see the reflecting light. I look out and see the man fishing. I look out and see the dog sniffing. I look out and see. My eyes are open to the people and the world that surrounds me and I can’t help but feel fuller …
As a woman runner, I’ve come to expect the occasional horn honks. It’s just a part of the experience if you have a ponytail apparently. Most of the time, I am able to suppress my feelings about the unfairness of this fact of life, but there’s one time when I simply can’t keep my mouth …
