Mr PugRunner and I were pretty excited to head north for the Rock 'N' Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon. It would be our very first Rock 'N' Roll event, and my first race in a different state (Yes, I think it would be incredible to run a race in every state. Two down, 48 to go!) We had been ...

week in review: 9.6 – 9.12

Last year was my first go at Tour De Pain (day 1 & day 2). When I completed the last mile of the three race series, I was pretty adamant that I could take it or leave it the next time it popped up on the calendar. And then it did pop up on the calendar and I decided I couldn't leave ...
