Nike Women’s Half Marathon in DC

Nike Women’s Half Marathon in DC

TGIF! This time last week, I was excited and nervous to head to DC for the inaugural Nike Women's Half in DC. I don't think the excitement really hit me until last Friday. Training for this one was tough because of my allergies. Sure enough, my allergies unexpectedly...

My Next Race – Drive to End Hunger 10k

My Next Race – Drive to End Hunger 10k

I have a confession: last week I signed up for the Black Girls Run inaugural Drive to End Hunger 10k and I had the race date all mixed up. I thought it was a week later than it is. More importantly, I must admit that I have not run a 10k since the Peachtree Road Race....
