Beating the Blerch: A Run for Cake

Like running races? Like high-fiving fluffy, fictional characters? Like cake? If you answered yes to any of the above then you would’ve enjoyed Beat the Blerch, a race I participated in this past Sunday. It is as unique a running experience as you could possibly have.

Locally Sourced Travel: Queen Anne Hill

In an ideal world, my ability to travel would be unencumbered by the reality of my everyday life.

Summer Race #1: Refuse to Abuse 5k

A few weeks ago I made the rather curious decision to run four races in four consecutive weekends.  This past Saturday marked the beginning of this challenge as my family and I participated in the Refuse to Abuse 5K at Safeco Field. The race benefited the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV), a non-profit that seeks… Read More Summer Race #1: Refuse to Abuse 5k
