Hi and welcome to my little corner of the Internet! My name is Jess, and I'm a thirty-something currently living in Washington, D.C. I'm a runner, rec league sports all-star, and lover of all things food, fitness and fun!

I love training for races of all different distances, although the half marathon is my favorite, and I'm border-line obsessed with my many rec league softball teams. (I also play flag football and volleyball).

I'm not fast, and I'll certainly never win any races, but I love running because crossing the finish line makes me feel like I accomplished something.


Aside from running and my rec league sports, I'm a huge fan of the University of Maryland Terrapins.

I graduated from UMD in December 2007 and still make it back to campus for several sporting events each season. In fact, I have season tickets to football. Tailgating is definitely my favorite fall activity.

In my day job, I work in digital media and strategic communications for a government agency. Basically that means blogging, Facebook and Twitter are a huge part of my full-time job, and sometimes I get to visit the White House. It's a fun gig.
 

Overall, I'm all about having fun and enjoying life while still being healthy. Health and fitness shouldn't be a chore, it should be fun! Because as I like to say, "Life is funner, with a runner!"
