June 1, 2013 – Doukenie Winery, Purcellville, Virginia.
Heat. Hills. Gravel. Three things that can make a run miserable … if you let them. I see them as challenges. On this day, the only one of those three that almost got the best of me was the heat and humidity. I haven’t trained for heat much so far this year and it showed. (more…)
May 27, 2013 marked the 26th running of the Loudoun Street Mile in Winchester, Virginia. I ran this race last year and it was the only race I thought I was going to puke after. Nice, right? (more…)
If I had the will-power to limit myself to one shoe for all occasions, the Pure Connect 2 would be it. Light enough for short races, padded enough for distance training and racing, as well as comfortable and stylish enough to wear casually. At the time of this review, I have slightly over 100 miles on them.

Who doesn’t like a parfait? It sounds so gourmet. Anyway, I don’t know how many calories it has but it has got to be pretty good for you. Here is the recipe.
Grab a bowl. Add some vanilla yogurt. You can go for non-fat or, even better, greek varities. Grab a handful of walnuts – either whole or pieces and shelled of course – and toss them in. Then do the same with a handful of Craisins (dried cranberries). Done.
I make this up after a run or when I don’t have much time to make a meal.
