One of my favorite comic artists Melinda Boyce posts comics about her daily life. Her recent comic really hit how I feel about weather when it comes to running. Click on the comic or this sentence to go see the comic So glad autumn is here and that cooler running weather is back!

Reasons I Sometimes Miss the Suburbs
As I may have mentioned a time or two, I live in a rural community. We do not have sidewalks, we barely have shoulders. As a runner, this poses some challenges. Having grown up in the suburbs (my whole city seemed like a giant suburb in high school), and done college running around Boston, here [...]
Training
Mount Uncanoonuc
My leg has been feeling a little better lately. So yesterday I decided to join some of my bloggy friends – Dan and Meenakshi of Expedition Kala Patthar – for their weekly 5k fun run. The run was set to run the roads of South Uncanoonuc. One of the mountains that can be seen from [...]

Hubby’s Massanutten Report
Sometimes (rarely) I get my way and my hubby posts about his latest adventures on his blog. After more than a month, he finally posted his report about his adventures during the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 miler (MMT100). Feel free to go look at his insights.

Injuries
Lost Toenail

Ultrarunners seem proud of how mashed up their feet get during races. This weekend, I joined the club. I don’t show you a picture [...]
Shoes
Wordless Wednesday: A reason not to run barefoot
To be fair, these are pretty much my dedicated trail shoes. And the trails that connect to my yard are not exactly maintained. So who knows where the screw would have decided to hitch a ride. I’m just glad that didn’t find it’s way into my foot because Ouch! that would have been PAINFUL! P.S. [...]

Keeping the Girls Safe – Why Sports Bras Matter
Dear male readers, the following blog post is about breasts and how to prevent them from suffering permanent irreversible damage that leads to a droopy chest. I’m sorry that it’s not of great interest to you, but I wish I had known half the damage I was doing by wearing cute bras instead of supportive [...]
