#RunLikeKeith Half Marathon Accomplished
It has been nearly two weeks since I finished the Navy-Air Force Half Marathon and I can’t quite seem to convince myself that it really happened. Sunday, September 20, 2015 was perfect weather for a race. The race started and ended at the base of the Washington Monument and downtown Washington D.C. was buzzing with…
McUpdate September 2015
I’m finally managing catching up on life; do not take this as a promise to write updates regularly. Here’s what we’ve been up to: I ran the Navy-Air Force Half Marathon last weekend. That deserves its own post (or several), but I am glad I never gave up during training or the race. The race…
Help Us #RunLikeKeith
It’s hard to believe that the Navy-Air Force Half Marathon is in just a few days. It’s been a whirlwind few months without adding training for a half marathon. I’m still a bit in shock that I even agreed to do this. I am so incredibly grateful for all the support and encouragement I have…

Worn
Today was supposed to be Day One of #runlikekeith half marathon training. We got up and out the door despite toddler protests to meet friends. We got there and got kids buckled in strollers and as I pushed the stroller to everyone else, the front wheel popped off with a bent axle. After an…
#RunLikeKeith
Any of you who have known Keith for any amount of time know that Keith was an avid runner. He started running in high school and found that it was the best way for him to burn off steam and work through life. He had hoped to run a marathon in his lifetime, but never…
