RELENTLESS FORWARD COMMOTION

Runner’s World Half Marathon 2015 – Hat Trick Race Recap

Runner’s World Half Marathon 2015 – Hat Trick Race Recap

I'm still talking about this race weekend, if you can believe it.  The next chapter in my mini novel, titled "that time I thought Runner's World would never invite me back to an event again after that one viral post, but they did..."  is a summary of the half marathon, which completed the "Hat Trick" and unofficial "Grand Slam" (All four races in one weekend). Here goes nothing. We left Continue reading →

Runner’s World Half & Festival 2015: Five & Dime Recap

Runner’s World Half & Festival 2015: Five & Dime Recap

Previously, on Relentless Forward Commotion (said in my best soap opera narrator voice):  I sort of unexpectedly raced a difficult 3.8 mile trail run, coming in just shy (by one place) of an overall podium spot. Now that you're up to date... (also I feel as though I have to warn you, nothing about these recaps is short. I don't know how my Runner's World influencer counterparts do it.  See? I Continue reading →

Runner’s World / Altra Trail Run 2015 Race Recap

Runner’s World / Altra Trail Run 2015 Race Recap

*disclaimer* race entry and accommodations for the RW Half weekend were provided for me by Runner's World.  All opinions are my own. A few months back, when I had received the invitation from Runner's World to attend the races this past weekend and saw that there was going to be a trail race, I declared out loud (to the cats, they were the only ones listening) "I'm going to try and win that Continue reading →

Runner’s World Half & Festival Influencer Experience 2015 (Day 2)

Runner’s World Half & Festival Influencer Experience 2015 (Day 2)

I was up fifteen minutes before the 6:00 am alarm clock, and my roommate Jen, a mom of two young kids AND a school teacher, was already up too.   I don't know about Jen, but I was too excited to sleep.  Not only would this be our first full day of the Runner's World Half & Festival weekend, but it would be chock full of trail running.  Yes, trails at the #RWHalf.  You KNOW I was Continue reading →

Runner’s World Half & Festival Influencer Experience 2015 (Day 1)

Runner’s World Half & Festival Influencer Experience  2015 (Day 1)

It's hard for me to sit down and start writing the numerous (I think there are going to be four or five, so hold tight. I have no idea who the rest of my fellow bloggers are able to keep their recaps so short and sweet; I ramble too much.) recaps from the time I spent in Bethlehem, PA this weekend at the Runner's World Half  & Festival.  It's hard because that means I have to face the Continue reading →

6 Things You Don’t Have to Do on Race Day…

6 Things You Don’t Have to Do on Race Day…

...but you should probably consider doing anyway. I know, I know, don't we have enough rules already?  Enough whistle blowers and holier-than-thou martyrs in the endurance world, preaching from atop their blog soapboxes?  I'm certainly guilty of complaining loudly in the past about the actions of others in the running world myself, but just bear with me through this one.  I promise it's not Continue reading →

Kain

Kain

Ill admit, I'm slightly ashamed of how we came up with your name. Your brothers name came about in the typical way; I found out I was pregnant, bought a baby name book, skimmed through the pages until I found a name I liked, and bam. Done. Your story is slightly different.  You see, in a past life I was a young 20-something who was a sucker for MTV and reality television.  One show that came Continue reading →

Enjoy it While it Lasts.

Enjoy it While it Lasts.

Three and a half years ago I sat in a dark, tiny bar in Keene, NH, with a new friend.  We had just finished a pretty adventurous night time run, in which we got lost more than once, and figured our survival should be celebrated with a pint or two of a local craft brew.  The bar was relatively chaotic that night, between televisions blaring every possible sporting event you could imagine, and a Continue reading →

Night Runner 270° Review

Night Runner 270° Review

Brace yourself friends, family, readers, and review seekers: we are doing things differently around here today.  Yes, "we".  As my workload at the gym has increased, my free time for blogging dwindles.  I've got a pile of gear that I've tested that is patiently waiting in the corner for me to write and publish reviews, so instead of delaying the posts any longer, I've enlisted help. Geoff, who Continue reading →

Runvelations #1: Long Runs > Food Poisoning

Runvelations #1: Long Runs > Food Poisoning

I'm not what you would consider a germaphobe, but I'm also not a huge fan of the dropped food "five second rule".  I'm more of a two seconds at best gal, and that even depends on what I've dropped and where it was dropped.  This also applies to food that has not been properly stored nor refrigerated.   Clearly, I've spent too much time in both the scientific field and the service industry. (Some Continue reading →

Mother Nature’s Reality Checks.

Mother Nature’s Reality Checks.

Incase you haven't heard the news yet: South Carolina is underwater. We (Geoff, my kids, our cats, and I) are safe.  Our apartment complex and vehicle have, so far, not sustained any damage. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for many of my friends, neighbors, and the rest of the state.   A storm completely unrelated to Hurricane Joaquin has dropped a couple of feet of rain on our Continue reading →

Meet Heather

I'm Heather, mom of two, ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, and an overzealous athlete who cannot focus on a single discipline, so I train for all of them at the same time. When in doubt, I run...and then write about it. Read More…

Two of my favorite words to say are "pelican" and "proprioception".  They have absolutely nothing to do with each other, though I suppose a pelican could have amazing proprioception, as most animals do.  Anyway, proprioception is your perception or awareness of the position and movement of your body … [Read More...]

Tightrope Walking

One of the most important things I stress to both clients and friends (and clients who are friends) is the concept of running being a lifetime sport.  In theory, we love running so much that we want to do this FOREVER, right? Silent pause as I look at the collective head nods in agreement.  As … [Read More...]

2019 Hallucination 6/12/24 Recap

14 years ago this month, I "ran" my first half marathon. I use the term "ran" loosely, because it was more like a 13.1 mile jog/walk/shuffle where I was entirely out of my element, questioned what the hell I was doing with every painful step, and wondered why I hadn't opted to just cheer on my … [Read More...]
