I know that there are some of you that only stop by for Tilda Tuesdays. You aren't coming here for running advice; instead you are stopping by for a weekly dose of vizsla cuteness! Since we are traveling, I didn't have a lot of time to write a post. In fact, my creativity is pretty low, and I couldn't think of anything fun to share about vizslas or dogs this week. Instead, I thought I'd leave Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: The Outer Banks Marathon
Yesterday I ran the Outer Banks Marathon. It was a beautiful point-to-point course that started in historic Kitty Hawk. It's advertised as mostly flat, with two "significant" points of elevation. The first was in the Nags Head Woods Preserve around mile 12 and the second was crossing the Washington-Baum Bridge leading to Roanoke Island at mile 23. Let me start at the beginning.

Tilda Tuesday: Gear for Running in the Dark…for Dogs!
A few weeks ago, I shared a post with tips and gear for running in the dark. Those tips are even more important now that we have crossed into Daylight Savings Time. There will be a lot of dark running in our near future! One of my safety tips for running in the dark is actually running with my dog. Now, if you've met Matilda, you know that she is not very intimidating. If fact, she's kind of a Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: A Big TRF Announcement.
The Outer Banks Marathon is this Sunday. It will be a small marathon with about 1,200 runners- a perfect size in my opinion. I love the smaller marathons and I'm really looking forward to seeing 26.2 miles of a part of the U.S. that I have never been to. Have you been to the Outer Banks? Any recommendations? Though I love the small marathons in my journey to run a marathon in every state, I Continue Reading
