It's been awhile. We've been trying to keep up but the summer schedule makes it a challenge sometimes, plus humid hot weather is not...

Sometimes we think this might be the way to clock the miles. Sometimes we know this might be the way to clock the miles. Then we realize tha...

So I burned the tread right off a brand new tire by accounts of this picture. Turns out the tires are so new it's not even a considerat...

We pass this flock of redwinged blackbirds on our run to classes. Today we take time to take a few glamour shots. Later I read that the red...

150 miles from home our vintage Suburban opts to mix my life up a bit and blows a tire. The car may be old but the tires are the best and so...

We clocked 12 miles today, split down the middle by a stop for kick boxing class. The first half was at a steady 12 minute mile clip with o...

So what do the Marathonettes do when they are hot and tired and still need to add some miles to their log? They create an adventure. The dri...

It was a scavenger day. We found a dead snake, a snapping turtle crossing a dirt road, a whole street of very cool 'new' old nags h...

We both felt about as quick as this turtle today. Four miles seemed like forty. We did do some hills with a pretty decent slope. We were a...

Here's my house complete with Donny's Hummer. It over looks the bay. S's house is around to the right. 

In our wanderings we found an awesome dead end street that overlooks Kitty Hawk Bay from a high enough bluff that high water should not be a...

It's a 15.5 mile day, half of which is through soft sand, by choice, mostly. On our way back at about mile 13 we are ready to be done. B...
