The start of a new year often brings a surge of motivation to adopt healthier habits, and for many, that means taking up running. As you lace up your shoes and hit the pavement, here are a few pointers to help you stick with your newfound passion, especially when the frosty weather tries to discourage […]
Tips for running in the summer from someone that hates it 😉 I know there are many that either love running in the heat and humidity, or can tolerate it pretty well, but I am not one of them. I LOATHE it – I melt like butter. I have said many times that I would […]
Running and road racing has evolved so much since my start in 1987, in so different categories. I still have one of the Nike Pegasus shoes that were given to us as members of the URI Track and Field team and I think most modern runners would be shocked to see what a Division 1 […]

We often view the Boston Marathon as the BIG brother to the north for our Providence Marathon. While not in the same size or scale, we are close in date and proximity – and that’s ok. 🙂 #marathongoals When the bombs hit in 2013, we were struck especially hard. It hit me personally as it […]
I don’t think words can express how grateful and humbled we are after this weekend’s events. For those that have been following along – this race has been a challenge.
