Alternate title for this post: "your parents weren't lying, one day you really WILL look back and laugh!"While some people like to relax over a glass of wine after the kids have gone to bed, I like to blog. So imagine the giddiness I felt (yes, I am a nerd) when I learned that apparently the lovely people at the Runners Lounge give out weekly assignments for blog topics.

DIY Running Medal Display in 5 Easy Steps
Today, two of my passions collide: running and crafting!! (oh you didn't know I have a Martha Stewart side? I still need to blog about my beloved Cricut...) In this post, I'm going to share how I crafted a homemade DIY running medal display and award shelf from simply items at the craft store. Best of all? It only cost me less than $13.00.

2009 North Myrtle Beach St. Patrick’s Day Run Fest 5K – the Luck o’ the Irish…
Editors note: a decade (!) later I'm going through many of my old posts and editing them if/when I can. This, my very first race review, of the 2nd Annual St. Patrick's Day Run Fest 5K held in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is definitely not my best work. I even had to go back and research the name of the race (and add it to the title), as I completely left it out of the entire post, Continue reading →
