Dog Days of Summer Running
Monday, August 2nd, 2010 by Amy & Jerry Frostick
Runners and cyclists each have their own space on the VB Boardwalk
We are lucky in one way when running at the beach; there is always a breeze! Some may say that is not an advantage in winter, but during the summer, let it blow!!! One of my favorite places to run in the summer is at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The boardwalk is the best for those long summer runs because you have water stops every block and some even have showers for those who want to completely dowse themselves.
First Landing State Park is Runner’s Paradise
Friday, May 28th, 2010 by Amy & Jerry Frostick
My favorite place to run in the world (yes, world!) is First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach. If you have not run through this park then tie up your running shoes and get it on your list. The Civilian Conservation Corps built First Landing State Park in the 1930’s. It can be accessed by the main entrance off Shore Drive or by 64 th Street and Atlantic Avenue. There are many other amenities this park has to offer: boat ramp, camping, hiking, etc., but running is by far my favorite.
I make dates with my friends to hit the trails of First Landing at least four times per week. The park features a main trail called Cape Henry Trail, which is 5 miles long and marked every ½ mile with a marker. This trail is the only trail that is also open to mountain bikers. Cape Henry is well groomed and marked, and is a safe bet if you are traveling alone or visiting for the first time. If you prefer to venture off into the woods, there are several other trails to explore.
Personal Records in Virginia Beach
Thursday, May 20th, 2010 by Amy & Jerry Frostick
If you are new to running or walking, PR means Personal Record. Runners use this term often as they seem to always be on the search of a new PR. I thought this blog would be a great way to share the runs and races I participate in, and write about my experiences. So why not start with sharing my Personal Record and the upcoming races in Virginia Beach? But wait a minute, my PR’s were before I owned a business, before my daughter became a teenager, before I turned 40, before I gained 5 pounds…how could I possibly face a race knowing that my PR’s were so fast ten years ago. Well, I decided to have a new philosophy on the PR terminology. PR can be after any large or small event that changes your life, even if just a little. For example, my PR after I had a baby, my PR after I turned 40, my PR after I got my dream job…
