I am a Dad on the run. I live in central NC, originally from Upstate NY. I began my quest for better fitness through running about four years ago. I recently completed my 78th race, and I am still loving it! I only decided recently to start blogging, mostly as a way for me to capture my thoughts, forcing me to write about them. I hope to provide some inspiration to others, as much as I feel inspired by others in the running community. I’ve run 23 marathons, and 30+ Half Marathons. One of my main running goals is to complete each of the six Abbott World Marathon Majors including Tokyo, London, Boston, Berlin, Chicago and New York City. I’m 1/3 of the way there!

Im a mom on the run. Currently living in NC but born in upstate NY. Started running 6 years ago and embarking on running NYC marathon this year for Huntington’s Disease. Happy to share the journey!
I want to hear more! Where are you from exactly?
I was born in Tonawanda, spent most of my life in Maine. School in NY and NJ and now call Winston- Salem my home.
That’s great! Another transplant to NC. Good luck with your running! I will see you in NYC!
Love your blog! I will be running the Revel Rockies half marathon on your team on July 19th! I will be traveling there from Wisconsin and am looking forward to meeting up with this group 🙂
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to meeting you! I am really excited!
Hey there! I’m training for the Richmond Marathon in November and will be traveling to Fuquay Varina and I need to do 15 miles. Any suggestions on where I can go – with either some sidewalks or a nice paved trail? Everything I’m seeing online is like 30 minutes north. Thanks!!!
If you run downtown, you can find sidewalks, and plenty of streets to just run on without a whole lot of traffic troubles. Check out the race course for Run the Quay 10k, map it out, run it in a couple of loops. It’s a pretty area full of historic houses.
