Guess who turned four years old yesterday? Yep, our little pug is a year older. I still remember the day we got him. He was so tiny and now he’s all grown up. I still can’t believe he’s four. Where does the time go? Murphy’s friend, Clark, was one of the first dogs to wish [...]

My friends at City Sports are hosting their first ever road race on June 30th in Somerville. It’s an 80s-themed 10K (so fun!) to celebrate their 30th Anniversary and proceeds from registration will go to cancer care and research. To create some buzz for the Back in the Day 10K, City Sports is offering a [...]

Rise and shine, it’s running time! (FYI: I’m doing Monica’s signature move! HA!) And, apparently, it’s jazz hands time too. I have no idea why standing in a teepee inspired me to do jazz hands. Random. This morning, Monica and I went for a run before our day started with Silk. We ran 4 miles [...]

Happy National Running Day! Did you get your run on today? Today actually is a rest day for me, but I got my run on bright and early yesterday morning. Workout After breakfast, I immediately put on my running gear. I knew if I dillydallied in my office, I’d get sucked into my inbox and [...]

After Saturday’s race, I was bumming pretty hard. I was upset with myself, frustrated with my health, and just plain old discouraged because my running wasn’t what it used to be. Thankfully, I had two wonderful runner friends, who assured me I could get back to where I used to be with some hard work. [...]

Good times with Anne and Theodora!! I’m so glad I had the chance to hang out with them in Annapolis for the ZOOMA race this past weekend. The three of us woke up bright and early on Saturday morning for ZOOMA Annapolis. I originally planned to run the half marathon, but I ended up dropping [...]

Annnndddd… I’m back in Boston. Just like that. Holy moly. My trip to Annapolis (and back) was a whirlwind adventure for sure! [Disclaimer: The folks from ZOOMA covered the cost of my flight, hotel, rental car, and race registration during my time in Annapolis, but, as always, the thoughts and opinions expressed on CNC are [...]

Local runner friends: Here’s your chance to win a free entry to the Tory Row 5K! Tory Row is at it again with their 5K road race! I heard last year’s event was a ton of fun (see banana costume below)! The Tory Row 5K includes some really great prizes, a number pick-up party, swag (including [...]

Hi, friends! My day started bright and early with a knock on my hotel room door from Monica, who arrived on a red-eye flight from California just 30 minutes earlier. I thought she might want to sleep after a long cross country flight, but she rallied for an early morning run. Monica said running helps [...]

Hi, friends! Happy Friday! It feels like a survey-type of morning, so here’s a running-themed Q & A that I saw on Julie’s blog awhile back. It was fun to do and definitely motivated me to go for a run today! Best Run Ever Easy. Reach the Beach with Team Off Balance. We had such [...]
