So, by some people’s definition, I am now a runner. It has very little to do with the fact that I actually run, I think, just the fact that I have suffered the indignity, the grossness, the pain, yes, the TRAGEDY of losing not just one, but TWO toenails recently. Ugh. And apparently, there is…
Since I’ve started running, I’ve thought a lot about safety. When you run outside, there are so many things that you should be aware of–and prepare for–as precautionary steps. Maybe I’m more cognizant of safety because I started running when I heard the story of Meg Cross Menzies. My awareness has continued as I have…
I have now been able to get a picture with Bart Yasso on two occasions. I really had no idea who he was at the first race, the Cayman Islands Half Marathon in December 2014, when I heard him speak, although I had a pretty good idea of his importance in the running world after…
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…

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…
When I first got ‘serious’ about running last year (basically when I committed to running my first half marathon), I used to absolutely DREAD my weekly long run. 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,…
