3 Year Runnerversary
I’ve been a solid user of MapMyRun since I started this “hobby” a few years back. Even with the recent transition to a Garmin Vivoactive, I still sync my workouts to MMR. Today, I received an email with a badge … Continue reading
15K Complete – Hot Chocolate Philly
Amid lousy weather conditions (gusty winds, constant rain, and high 40’s temps), I completed the Philly Hot Chocolate 15K this morning. Finishers received a medal and a nice plastic “mug” complete with hot chocolate, chocolate fondue, and dippers. The only … Continue reading
runDisney Changes Wine & Dine – For Better or Worse?
Life goes on, things change, out with the old and in with the new… even with runDisney. In the last year, we’ve seen a new Paris Disneyland race weekend, Star Wars events on both coasts (half marathon and challenges), the … Continue reading

Garmin VivoActive joins the club!
Since I starting this crazy running hobby back in 2013, I’ve been a faithful MapMyRun MVP user. It’s a nice little app that works on my iPhone, has GPS capabilities, and a bunch of other nice tracking features. However, with … Continue reading
2015 Year in Review and Resolutions
Much like I did in 2014, a year into this “running” journey, I figured it would make sense to look back on the previous year. In 2015, I ran a total of 436.85 miles which is actually DOWN from 2014’s … Continue reading
Last Long Run Before…
With the kids off at Winter Zoo Camp (hey, it’s a great way to get them out of the house for a day doing something they like), I headed out for what would be my last long run before Goofy … Continue reading
