Two weeks ago John and I made our way to Russellville, Arkansas for our first experience with RussVegas. Last year was the inaugural race but at the time I was unable to participate because of my spring marathon. I had heard great things about it and I was really excited to do it this year. My friend Jackie and I actually registered in the fall, several months before the race (which is really early for me) to make sure we…
Several weeks ago I saw a shirt on Facebook that I knew would be perfect for my husband. Maybe some of you or someone in your family can relate with this. It’s my husband’s new favorite shirt to wear to all of my races and he gets several compliments every time he wears it! Yes, running a race is hard but I know that being a supportive spouse is no easy task. I know I’ve mentioned it on the blog…

How could I not join in on the fun?! If you’ve never read Run like a Mother by Sarah…
As you can see there have been some changes to the Arkansas Runner Mom site. I’m very excited about the new look as well as the added content which highlights some of the areas I am most passionate about including running with kids, racing in Arkansas, and coaching runners. A special thanks to a group of MIS students in my husband’s class who worked hard to develop this site. Please bear with me as it may take a few weeks…
Hello there! Long time… I am a few race reports behind- 3 to be exact! I really want to get caught up so forgive me if this seems a bit condensed!
