As I have been training for a long distance run over the last few months, I have had to really make time for running to ensure I get the miles in so my body is prepared and ready on marathon day. Of course, when I wasn’t working, it was fairly easy to make sure it…
Never in a million years would I have expected a Facebook post to change my life in such a profound way. In January 2014, a high school friend posted a story from her local paper in Richmond, VA, about her doctor, who was driving drunk TO work one morning when he hit and killed a…
Last Sunday, I had a 17 mi run planned. It was noticeably warmer (92 ‘real feel’) that it had been, so I knew that the summer months had arrived and I won’t see an 80-something run day again until after my marathon in October. With the higher heat and humidity, comes more difficulty. And so…
So I realized that I am less than a month away from my next half marathon on May 9th, where I will be taking on the very challenging Harper’s Ferry Half Marathon. For anyone who does not know, Harper’s Ferry is an historical town in West Virginia, where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers meet. The…

Almost 50,000 steps. I have yet to run more than 18.6 mi in any one effort. And even then, I have only done…

There was nothing more torturous in my world than running for more than an hour by myself. Seriously. I think I would rather eat brussel sprouts! I…
I named my blog ‘Robyn Runs the World’ because I live in the Cayman Islands. My husband and I like to travel, and with my interest in running, I end up running in most cities I visit. Since I started running a little more than a year ago, I have run in some beautiful places:…
I have been a runner for a bit more than a year. In one year, I have run more than I ever thought I would be interested in doing, somehow come to ‘love’ running and set an incredible goal that has me shaking in my shoes. I hope you enjoy reading more about my motivation,…
