Run Eat Play RVA: February 2015
http://www.runeatplayrva.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Scenes from a Snow Run. We got around 6" of snow overnight in Richmond. This is not a usual occurrence for us; I'm sure you can imagine the mad rush to obtain toilet paper, milk, and bread that happened yesterday before the flakes started to fly. There's no better incentive than that, let me tell you. Needles to say, I got my work finished and then thoroughly enjoyed my reward. Monday, February 16, 2015. I'm not running races just to run them, or because someone else is. Someo...

Thursday, March 26, 2015. I Qualified for Boston at the Shamrock Marathon! Just over a month ago, I came back from a long silence and told you all that I was focusing on quality over quantity. and that I wasn't going to run a spring marathon. Well, here's the full confession: when I wrote that entry on February 16, I was already considering attempting to qualify for Boston at the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach on March 22. That was the plan, at least. Then I started asking myself - why wait? And the...

Run Eat Play RVA: July 2015
http://www.runeatplayrva.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Kathryn here for what has apparently become my typical quarterly check in. Honestly, I really miss blogging and hope I can kick start myself into it again. When you have a very demanding day job that is writing based, it is hard to come home and get excited about writing some more. So, what am I up to? What a silly question! I'm training for a marathon, of course. To be more specific, the Erie Marathon. Despite that and the less than desirable weather, I think I'm making some rea...

Run Eat Play RVA: The Agony and the Ecstasy
http://www.runeatplayrva.com/2014/11/the-agony-and-ecstacy_4.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2014. The Agony and the Ecstasy. Running is such a temperamental mistress. One week, it takes you to the heights of happiness and then, when you weren’t expecting it, BAM! Plunged into the depths of despair. Right now I should be basking in the afterglow of a mission accomplished at Steamtown and coasting my way to a fun-filled Richmond Marathon, where I planned to just have a good time running with my teammates and enjoying the beautiful course and city that I love. Cue panicked ici...

When I say "Richmond" what is the first thing that comes to mind? Here's what I usually hear: Confederates, cigarettes, and "doesn't I-95 run right through it? Not exactly the most flattering picture. But I'm here to tell you that yes, Richmond may be the home of the biggest cigarette company in the world and the former capital of the Confederacy, but it's so much more than that! These are some of my favorite Richmond things. Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. March 5, 2012 at 10:07 AM. I can do hard things.

Run Eat Play RVA: Becoming a Runner

Then came January 2010 when I challenged my husband to a race - the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k. I wanted to get him exercising more and thought that some friendly competition would be the perfect way to do it. After all, what man would want to admit that his wife beat him in sporting competition? We joined the training group at the local YMCA. I'll never forget the first time I managed to run 3 miles at the track without stopping. It hurt, but it was amazing at the same time. Marine Corps 10k, 2010.

Friday, November 14, 2014. My 2 Cents, For What They're Worth. You've read Kit's play-by-play for tomorrow and I'm here to tell you that it's all true. You'll be like a kid on Christmas morning and wake up at 4 am. It will take forever for the start to happen. The first ten miles. Now, take all of that and file it away. Don't think about it again until you are in the moment tomorrow. To just run, you need to do a few things. Sounds oxymoronic, I know. But hear me out. I know you've heard this already abo...
