Shamrock Half Marathon In Virginia Beach-My Experience

Shamrock Half Marathon In Virginia Beach-My Experience

This past weekend I ran the Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach.  I still feel funny saying that I ran 13.1 miles-THIRTEEN POINT ONE miles!  Seriously, what in the world?! Let me digress….I have never been a runner.  A softball player, a volleyball player, a cheerleader, and yes, a workout addict-but NEVER a runner. I picked up running exactly 2 years ago simply because with a 2 year old and an infant, it seemed the only … Read entire article »

A Mommy’s Reaction To Tragedy

A Mommy’s Reaction To Tragedy

I am horrified on so many levels by the tragedy that occurred in Connecticut. Words just can’t express the emotions I feel, yet I feel that I must write something in order to process what that monster did. My first gut reaction is as a mommy…to look at my 4 year old and know that those innocent babies were only a year older, to know their parents already have presents bought and wrapped waiting with … Read entire article »
