The Craziest Things I’ve Seen as a Runners Wife
Over my career as a runner’s wife, I’ve had the opportunity to go to more than sixty marathons, half-marathons, 10ks and 5ks. From what I’ve been told, it’s unusual that a spouse would attend so many races. Here are some things those “stay-at-home” spouses might not think about: Showing up to a race is a good way to show support for your partner and acknowledge all the work they’ve done to get there. Racing can take you to some amazing destinations. We’ve been to Berlin, London, Boston, Big Sur and New York just to name a few. You can see some AMAZINGLY CRAZY things by going. Join me for a…

Check out the Runnah Hoopla on Day 2
We got up at 7am to knock out a three mile run before all the Runnah Hoopla began, passing Paul Revere Park, the Bunker Hill Monument and the USS Constitution. Runner tip – Running early is a great way to explore a new city as you’re often out earlier than the people who live there and all the tourists.

The USS Constitution (aka Old Ironsides) is permanently moored at the Charlestown Naval Yard where she was built in the 1790s. Cheapskate tip – Both the Bunker…

How to Celebrate and Still Prep for a Marathon
How do you celebrate Easter while prepping for a Marathon? It’s easy if you have a plan. Our plan for this day was less walking, less beer but it would not be a day without adventure! Stephen went off to do a shake out run with some of the Marathoners near Boston Commons. I went off to visit one of many churches within walking distance of our studio. I landed at St. Leonard’s because their service time worked really well for our schedule. The exterior was really inauspicious but once you were inside…look out! Their priest was great and very relatable. Also, one of the readings that morning was done only in…

Ever Want to Stay ALL Day at Fenway?
We did and you can too! Check out our accidental full day at Fenway. The day started as expected – NO RUNNING. After all, one of us just did a marathon and the other one did a 7 mile run followed by 7 miles of chasing her favorite runner to the finish line. We left our room early and headed to Fenway to get tickets for the 4pm pre-game tour. The Morning at Fenway No sooner had we taken the receipt from the ticket booth than a tour guide gave us the inside scoop on the Tours. We thought they would all be the same but it turns out that…
