2014 A TEAM in Review
Christmas morning is not often a time for great reflection in our house. After all, there are normally countless toys to extract from hermetically sealed packages, not-included batteries to curse, and Christmas cookies to binge on. For some reason, this morning was different. Rather than my normal seven cups of coffee, I woke up absolutely… Continue reading 2014 A TEAM in Review
Random Acts of Kindness: Team CMMD Style
Several years ago right before Christmas, I had a terrible week at work. The night we had planned to string up our outdoor holiday lights, a serious car accident happened right outside of our office. Instinctively, I and several of my staff ran outside to see if we could help. It was a cold, wet… Continue reading Random Acts of Kindness: Team CMMD Style
Running In the Cold: It’s All About Emilio Estevez –and Other Stuff
[Published October 2014] Last year was one of the worst winters we have had in well…my lifetime. It was also the winter I logged the most outdoor miles EVER.

Fake It Until You…BELIEVE It

Or, worse, he will start to emulate some sort of behavior that was discussed in a TED talk until I give… Continue reading Fake It Until You…BELIEVE It
Park Your Car First.
A month before my first Broad Street Run race, I stopped wearing heels to work. You must understand that for me, not wearing heels is about the same as not wearing pants. But, naked as I felt, I wore my flats for those weeks because I was terrified of twisting my ankle or falling and… Continue reading Park Your Car First.
What Does it Matter?
I am summoning every ounce of energy to type quickly so that my battery doesn’t die. This is because I don’t have the energy to run upstairs for my laptop charger. This is only partly because I’ve been up since 4:45 am and partly because I ran a 5K this morning. It is mostly because… Continue reading What Does it Matter?
My Message to Rock N Rollers
I know some of you are injured, under the weather or otherwise just nervous. So, I want to tell you about MY RNR experience last year. I was exhausted leading up to it. And I had not trained as much as I should have. Two years before I had run RNR alone in 2… Continue reading My Message to Rock N Rollers

20 Seconds of Insane Courage
“All it take is 20 seconds of insane courage to change the world.” I always think of this team and its members when I hear that. We are changing the world. Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean in the light-bulb-sliced-bread kind of way but in a tiny-spark-starting-a-fire kind of way. This post is… Continue reading 20 Seconds of Insane Courage
