I don’t know if the Diva’s Half Marathon is worth writing about after a whole month!! But I like to keep records of all races run and this will be a good one to read later. The inaugural Diva’s Half Marathon, Peachtree City was scheduled on my birthday, September 6th. And I knew I had to do it! What are the odds that I would get to run a fun themed race exactly on my birthday!! Because of the 2hour…
What an EPIC weekend at the Ragnar Relay Napa Valley (in fact it was the highlight of an epic 10 days for me, but that’s a new post on a personal vacation)! 12 BAMRs (BadA$$ Mother Runners) lead by Sarah and Dimity, our two fearless leaders, took on Ragnar Relay Napa Valley.

Calling on all my running and walking friends everywhere because misery awesome loves company. I’m trying to get this going as a pure selfish personal challenge and would LOVE for people to join in!! What is it? It is an impromptu 5k “race”! Just like any race you would run on a weekend! Except you run it at your start and finish line. Oh – and there is no medal or swag waiting for you at the finish. (Come on now – you…
