Announced: New Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras in New Orleans February 28, 2010 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Rock ‘n’ Roll is taking over the world! Truthfully, I’d put it on my list. I’ve never been to New Orleans. I like the …
Not pictured, pink watch and pink Road I.D. This much pink can only mean one thing. The annual Race for the Cure to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and raise money for breast cancer research! This marks the 3rd year in a row my mom and I have participated …
A friend of mine received this from her TNT coaches before the 2009 PF Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. She made a copy of it for me and I knew I wanted to keep it on hand, just to refer to again someday. And since I knew I wanted to …
This morning I volunteered at the Red Rock Marathon/Half-Marathon. It’s a beautiful course; very challenging, but beautiful nonetheless.

1 hour and 9 minutes. 6.7 miles. Those are the numbers on my Garmin. The numbers that marked the end of my marathon day. I tripped. I fell. I need stitches in my chin. I am waiting in the finish area for my mom to finish. I don’t want to …
Well, I am now in Phoenix and I have to admit, I’m loving this weather! I know I can’t complain too much, many of you have had much harsher weather lately, but I have been so cold in Las Vegas over the past month or so. Warmth is definitely needed! …
