Hi! We're Susannah and Laura. We're sisters who enjoy running, traveling around the world, and just generally being nerdy. One of us is a huge trapeze fan and one of us loves baseball statistics. This is kind of our public journal. We both trained for and finished our first marathon in 2011.

Mercedes Half Marathon Race Recap 2012
I wrote most of this after I ran the race on February 13, but I figured I’d wait to post it until I took it from a tired rambling train of thought to a coherent post…. I really hate getting … Continue reading

Race Recap: Baltimore Half Marathon (or, how I did NOT meet my one and only goal)

Well How About That!
