November Thanks
The November blog is always one of gratitude. Not only is it the anniversary of Rhode Races (Seven years now! Wow), but as the bulk of our race season is over, it is our opportunity to take a breath and reflect on the year, while we are also in full-blown 2023 planning and ways we […]
Ocean State Rhode Race – Course Preview
AAAahhhhh, the Ocean State Rhode Race. I do love this race, for so many reasons. First, Fall running is just gorgeous running and this weekend in October, in Narragansett, has such beautiful, foliage-filled backroads with peeks at Narragansett Bay, peaceful Narrow River, and stunning Bonnet Shores. Secondly, the race has its history in a rich […]
Jamestown Course Preview
People often ask which race is our favorite race, and I respond that it is like trying to pick my favorite child – I love them all but for very different reasons. The Jamestown course tho…… it is a STUNNER!
Runner’s High
I am reading this book that was given to me by my niece, Runners High. I will say that I am not a pot smoker, or weed advocate, or anything like that, so I put off reading it until I was fresh out of a beach read and needed something until I could get to […]

Running and Grief
(I am going to preface this blog by stating that I am in no way a therapist. I am stating my experience and those stories I hear from others. I support and encourage grief counseling.) In my social media feeds these days, there seems to be a lot of loss – often times sudden and […]
Running Gear for Winter
It is the second week of January, and Quitter’s Day is fast approaching. You committed to running more in the New Year but you are facing a weekend of extreme cold, snow, slushy rain and the like. It is getting harder and harder to stay on track but you are determined! You want to be […]
Winter running and resolutions: how to keep to it
The holiday’s are approaching and with it, the inevitable thoughts of reflection on the past year and what the next year will bring. We tend to take stock of our lives and what improvements we want to make in the next year – a fresh start! Resolutions abound. And because we are a running organization, […]
