Since I do not do a lot of races, I feel like each event is an opportunity for me to get “dolled up.” I love wearing running skirts (see tutu in the Shamrock ‘n Roll; and C9 skirts in the Corktown race and Turkey Trot; so when I came across a local company that specializes […]

I want to first thank every single person that commented on my last blog post expressing my concern about my running struggles. I have so many amazing readers and even though I haven’t had an opportunity to respond to many of the comments yet, there was such great advice about both my 10k and about […]
