This post is not about running
Soooo … as you know, I’ve been running a lot lately. A lot. And I’ve been writing about my running a lot because – well, that’s what’s taking up my time. But one of my loyal readers (Jeff) was kind enough to point out to me that I was blogging “an awful lot” about running…

On running outside
Until relatively recently I was a treadmill girl. I could run for an hour straight on a treadmill – until it cut off – and I was super proud of myself for that. (For the record, I’m still super proud when I do that now.) But I have learned the hard way I need to…

Beautiful bride makes memorable photos
The best part about shooting a wedding is getting a front-row seat to the couple’s magical day. I won’t subject you to all 1,400 of Amanda and Jason’s wedding photos (if you want to see them, click here: password Amanda), but I thought I’d pick out a few that stood out to me for one…

Wedding bloopers
Weddings wouldn’t be fun without some laughs, would they? A picture is worth 1,000 words (even taken with your own camera) but occasionally, taken out of context, the words can be much different than the reality. As I poured over the thousands (literally) of photos of Amanda and Jason’s wedding, some of them made me…

She showed me how to love, even when it hurts
My mom used to stick her hand in my mouth knowing I would bite her. That’s love. When I was 12 we trekked all over the Charlotte area looking for the perfect orthodontist. My mom’s dad was a dentist and teeth have always been pretty important in our family. An orthodontist in Hickory offered free…

My favorite iPhone apps
Just so you know I’ve never paid for an application for my iPhone. All the ones I have are free. That’s not to say I wouldn’t pay for one; I just haven’t found the need to yet. So for those of you who just bought an iPhone (Stephanie) and for anyone considering buying one, here’s…

More things I know or think I know about running
I had to take a breather from yesterday’s post. I mean, you want to spend your day reading about running or actually have time to go out and do it? So here I am today with more “Things a person that doesn’t know much officially has learned about running”: Water I used to think the rule was:…

Things I know or think I know about running
Wow, working out is hard work. And I’m not just talking about pushing yourself to improve endurance, speed, motivation. I’m talking about all the other stuff that goes along with it. We’ve all heard of target heart rate. What the heck does it mean when I’m running down the street trying to set my race pace? What…

Don’t bring a camera to a wedding
Unless you are the photographer, of course. I have worked with wedding photographers for years who have preached this. Your “job” as a wedding guest is to – be a guest. I fully understand why people ignore this – they want their own pictures, they don’t want to have to purchase them from a photographer…

In the “runners are crazy” category: Clothing-optional races
So I was doing an innocent online search yesterday for upcoming 5Ks and 10Ks (I promise, that’s what the search was for!) when I came across an entire clothing-optional race series. Really? I was telling my friend Jessica about it and some one-liners came to mind, so of course I had to share. I wonder if…
