***Hi guys, my name is Bri and you can usually find me over at SanBriego.com. I’m happy to share a couple of guest posts with you this month while the lovely Jen is off being a rockstar in Afghanistan!!*** I don’t remember why I signed up for my first half marathon. I think I was […]
We went from a sunny 70 degrees to 23 degrees in just a few hours yesterday… and somehow managed to run 6.2 miles in the snow this morning without slipping and falling. And I got to wear my tutu! I got some compliments on the tutu while I was running, and while it did […]
If you’ve ever watched or participated in a Turkey Trot (Thanksgiving Day run) before, you may have noticed that not all of the runners wear regular running clothes. There are drumstick beanies, Pilgrim hats, Santa suits and all manner of Halloween costumes. And always lots of tutus. I’m not sure when wearing a tutu to […]
It’s been pretty girly around here, with the pink cakes and dresses and jewelry. But I’m married to a rugby-playing Marine. So my life isn’t exactly glitter and rainbow sprinkles 24/7. Sometimes, it gets a little dirty. Or really, really muddy. Toby and some of his friends decided to do a Tough Mudder a few […]
One day in 8th grade, I saw the new girl (I recognized her from cheerleading tryouts) walking down the street, so I opened my window and yelled hello to her. Within a few weeks, Leigh Anne and I were basically inseparable. And, of course, in the few hours a day we weren’t together, we wrote […]
My grandfather recently turned 90, and my family decided to go celebrate with him in Charleston, S.C. And, since it happened to be the same weekend as the Cooper River Bridge Run (a 10K that includes a two-mile bridge connecting Charleston to Mount Pleasant), we decided to run it. My brother, Scott, was in […]
I know, I know. Resolutions are ridiculous, meant to be broken, recipes for failure, right? Well, they don’t have to be. Every year, my dad resolves to give up alcohol for the first quarter of the year. I think it may have started as a month, but it’s grown to several months. He doesn’t even […]
I’ve signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon 10K twice before. But this is the first time I’ve actually run it. In 2009, I had this weird foot situation and wasn’t sure if running would exacerbate it (I found out later it wouldn’t, but I also had to have several shots over a two-month period […]
I was allegedly a pretty fast runner in first and second grade. I assume this was because my legs were longer than everyone else’s. But no matter the reason, those days are long gone. Nowadays, I’m the slow one. The one who sometimes has to stop and walk for a minute or so before returning […]
