Finding Joy in the Journey
Alright folks. You've heard me complain about the snow (my heart belongs somewhere south 🙂 ). But, today I decided to enjoy it, to appreciate it and to get out there. My conclusion? It's gorgeous out there...take the time to enjoy it before round two hits tonight! My run was pretty straightforward, 6 miles give... Continue Reading →
There's not a lot left to say other than that at this point. Except to maybe throw in one of these: Today one of the worst possible things for a blogger happened...my server went down. During a restore (which I do not totally understand), I lost all posts since January 6. That's a lot; a... Continue Reading →
Alright, it's been announced, has opened for registration and I am excited...the third annual Running for Rachel will be held on City Island in Harrisburg on Sunday, April 27...You game?

While some of you are aware and others may not be, I've recently been fighting a foot/knee injury (not great for a runner!). It's been a frustrating process, and those closest to me have caught the brunt of that frustration. While I'm working with an excellent physical therapy team (check out Madden Physical Therapy and...

Alright, here goes; the part where I talk about something no one wants to talk about. Food, and how to eat it the right way. I need to back up first though. You've seen some of my recipes. Going forward you will see plenty more. You'll also see they wouldn't all fit into a diet... Continue Reading →
