I am so excited to add another race to my 2018 calendar. So what if it’s 2 weeks before my spring goal race in New Jersey? My training plan actually calls for me to run 13 miles that weekend (technically on Sunday, but whatever!) so once again I thought, why not earn some bling?   The Rhode Races Newport Half Marathon will be a good way for me to work out some kinks in my training and fueling strategies so nothing surprises me on race day and the end of April.

Sweat X doesn’t just mask the stinky scent, it eliminates it entirely. According to Sweat X Sport’s website, “Sweat X deploys NANOVASIVE™ technology that exfoliates stains and infested sweat known to cause odor in uniforms and activewear.” Sweat X...

The thought of going on a lovely runcation is at the forefront of my mind November through March.

Not only does it get 300 days of sunshine a year, but the average temperature in February is 74 degrees. Say what?! Sign me up! So you signed up, “now what?” you might ask. Well, with ta little more than 30 days until race day it’s time to start looking at all of the fun to be had in Palm Desert! Top 10 Th...
