#8 Tennessee . . . check!

Meghan and I headed to Nashville this past weekend.  It was a packed few days  -  hanging out with our brothers, touring a bit (we guided ourselves to famous country singer homes), eating (not one, but two visits to the Pancake Pantry), and of course, a race.  The road trip was fun, GARMIN Electra leading [...]

#7 Texas . . . check!

Cold, rainy, bad headache and an upset stomach – this describes the beginning of  our seventh race in our journey to Race Across America.   We are such dedicated runners run/walkers, that there was no way we were going to let these little inconveniences get in our way and keep us from completing a race in [...]

#6 New York . . . check!

I’ve gotta say, this was a very meaningful and touching race. It’s difficult to describe the feelings I had while running alongside thousands of people all wearing the names of family, friends and relatives whose lives have been affected by breast cancer on their backs. So many women where honored, remembered and celebrated on this [...]

We Believe

I am really looking forward to the race we have coming up this weekend. I am sure we’ll have fun, but more than anything we are excited about joining thousands of other people in the fight against breast cancer. Our team set a goal at the beginning of August to raise $1,000 as part [...]

Hot Dog Festivals = LOTS of FUN!

If you’ve never been to a hot dog festival I highly recommend the experience. Meghan and I participated in this hot dog festival last weekend after the Bun Run and had a blast! And by participated, I mean, consumed a massive amount of food. All eating aside, who would have thought a hot dog [...]

#5 West Virginia . . . check!

The Bun Run in Huntington, West Virginia has got to be one of my favorite runs so far. Mainly because of the hot dog festival that followed the run and not the run itself, but either way, it was a great way to cross off the fifth state on our quest to Race Across America. [...]

A running award for me?

I am not getting into the details of the story, because it would be WAY less impressive, but check this baby out . . .

My very first running award! I didn’t even know I got it until it came in the mail last week. It’s for first place in my age division during this race. [...]

#4 Nevada . . . check!

Four states down, forty six more to go! While in Vegas Meghan, Pudge, Michael and I headed to Lake Mead in Boulder City for the Running with the Devil Race. It’s called Running with the Devil because of the heat – not because we like the devil – just making sure everyone understands that. [...]

Running Attire Dilema

So, you would think I run ten times a day with all of the new running outfits I have purchased recently. I tend to get carried away with the things I do (example: cake decorating – bought a TON of stuff and I haven’t made, much less decorated a cake since my level [...]
