The signature Eau Claire hat, given to all retreaters and sported by Karyn, and a bunch of happy BAMRs doing a pre-race shake out across one of Eau Claire's many beautiful bridges. (The half-marathon and marathon courses crossed 11!) [...]
We wish all you BAMRs could have joined us earlier this month in Mexico for our first-ever international Retreat. But since just 21 of you were at Rancho La Puerta, I (Sarah) wanted to share a bit of the classes [...]
Gail, on the left, just finished the Dopey challenge with BRF Kimberly. No word on how long those post-race margaritas lasted in the hot Florida sun. In this occasional column What Would Another Mother Runner Do (WWARMD), Gail, a mother [...]
“Penny!” “Money!!” “Dime!” “’nother penny!” These exclamations punctuate pretty much every run my best running friend, Molly, and I take. As our conversation slides from best dance programs for my 8th-grade son and the retro-style dress she’s sewing to [...]

"Congratulations!" writes Dana, "I'd be lost without AMR!" (Um, us too.) "This tribe keeps my head in the right place," says Laura. (Ditto to that.) As our 8th AMRiversary week continues, we wanted to document (naturally) 26 of the tribe's [...]
All this week we're celebrating eight great years of AMR'ing! Dimity kicked off the party yesterday, sharing her eight standouts from these years. Now it's my turn. Moment #1, early 2011: Naming Our "Baby" Given that we never set out [...]
