January 14, 2013 By Stephanie

I ran my first 10K yesterday – my longest run ever! After kissing three little blonde heads, I walked out the front door into 44 degrees and glorious rays of sunlight. One foot in front of the other, I prayed and breathed with each step. If you’ve circled a 10K date on the calendar and […]

August 18, 2009 By Stephanie

The Shred is over. The weather is (hopefully) going to start cooling off soon. It’s time to lace up my tennis shoes and start running consistently again. The best way for me to stay motivated is to sign up for a 5K. There is a race in my area on September 12th, but I think […]

March 29, 2008 By Stephanie

This morning at 8:00 my husband and I ran in our 2nd 5K, benefitting the special needs program at a local high school. We took our daughter in the jogging stroller and pushed ourselves to run faster this time. And guess what? We beat our 1st 5K time by almost 4 1/2 minutes. We ran […]
