The last time I posted as about my alcohol free journey - I was 60 days alcohol free at that moment, as I write to you today I am 94 days alcohol free. A) I'm pretty freakin' proud of this accomplishment and B) I'm pretty freakin' bummed that I haven't written anything in a month.… Continue reading A Stay at Home Update from RD on the Run

My Alcohol Free Journey
I have been alcohol free for 60 days. It all started with something called "Dry January". A friend of mine had gone one month alcohol free (or "AF" as she called it) earlier in 2019. She decided to start 2020 off sober and posted on her Facebook asking if anyone was interested in joining and… Continue reading My Alcohol Free Journey
Ready to Go 2020
*You can always refer to an updated version of this blog on the http://www.rdontherun.com main page! I started the “Ready to Go” race streak back in 2014. At the end of each year, I would start planning races that I was going to do. This turned into trying to run a race every month. And… Continue reading Ready to Go 2020
My Running Year in Review
For a few years now, I make a list of the races I plan on doing in the upcoming year. This was really helpful when I was on a streak of running at least one race per month. Sadly that streak came to an end in 2019 when I did not run my planned race… Continue reading My Running Year in Review
A New Decade – Part Three
It is officially 2020. Y2K was 20 years ago, and the 90s started 30 years ago. People are reflecting on the last decade and I am one of those people. I've already looked back on how my career and my love life has evolved in the last 10 years. This next installment will be about… Continue reading A New Decade – Part Three
A New Decade – Part Two
My life from 2010 to now has been quite the roller coaster. As I wrote in my last blog, I successfully completed college and started my career. It took me to places I never thought I would ever be. One of the constants throughout this decade, though, has been my relationship with my husband. We… Continue reading A New Decade – Part Two
A New Decade – Part One
As 2019 is winding down, people have been posting about what they looked like at the beginning of the decade vs. now. Or what things they have accomplished that would have their 2010 selves completely shocked. I posted these comparisons myself, and had many of my friends commenting their own. It made me think -… Continue reading A New Decade – Part One
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
I am usually one of those people who absolutely refuses to get into the Christmas spirit any sooner than December 1. This year, Mother Nature gifted us with snow the second week of November that sparked an early Christmas spirit fire in my heart. My husband and I bought a new Christmas tree before Thanksgiving… Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
October 2019 Training Recap
We are more than halfway through November, and here I am finally writing a recap of my October training. I’m going to do things a little differently this month.

Race Recap: Indianapolis Monumental Marathon 2019
“There will be days you don’t think you can run a marathon. There will be a lifetime of knowing you have.” In the weeks and days leading up to the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, I had a lot of moments where I was not sure if I could run a marathon. Even the day of the… Continue reading Race Recap: Indianapolis Monumental Marathon 2019
Race Recap: Detroit Free Press/TCF Bank International Half Marathon 2019
It has been a week since I ran the Detroit Free Press/TCF Bank International Half Marathon, and it's about dang time that I write up my race recap.

August & September Training Recaps
Today marks one month until I stand at the start line of another marathon. To say I have mixed feelings about this is an absolute understatement. August and September had some major ups in my training and running accomplishments, and also some major downs. Just like hills are an important part of a training plan,… Continue reading August & September Training Recaps
2019 Race Recaps (So Far…)
When your training hits a speed bump, especially while you are on vacation from work, you start to reflect on a lot of things. Today I’m reflecting on the fact that I don’t blog nearly as much as I would like to. And I have missed some recaps of races along the way. So here’s… Continue reading 2019 Race Recaps (So Far…)
Race Recap: Crim 10 Miler 2019
With how many races I have run over the years, you would think it would be difficult for me to choose my favorite race. But hands down, Crim is it. This year was my 5th year in a row running this race and it was another incredible year! Each year has its own special memories,… Continue reading Race Recap: Crim 10 Miler 2019
July 2019 Training Recap
Here we are, halfway through August, and I am just getting around to writing my July training recap. I also am realizing that I have slacked on updating my blog lately.
