In 2007, I became a Tampa Bay mom on the run and participated in my first race, the St. Pete Times Turkey Trot. In 2008, Run DMT was born as a way to share my pictorial race recaps and a means to make myself accountable while training. Since that first 5K, I have participated in multiple marathons (even became a Marathon Maniac), half marathons, triathlons and endurance runs and even organized a few of my own Run DMT fun runs. Through my running efforts, I have modeled how to become a life long runner to my children which motivated and inspired them to run with me.
Listed below are all my Run DMT race recaps, including my PRs (personal records) in bold and sponsored races marked by double asterisks**.

Hey! Just wanted to say blog. Keep up the good work!
Great article. Waiting for more.
My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
This is very interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your great post. Also, I have shared your web site in my social networks!
Amazing record–I envy you!
Awesome share! Thank you very much
i added my facebook fan page thanks a lot.
One of my goals in life is to have a list like this! I am a new runner as of August 2010 and hope to keep on keepin on! Great share! I always have issues finding runs.
Glad to see via Twitter that you will be blogging about RAP River Run 5K. great article in today’s paper http://bit.ly/ieGmcS – I think it gave me goose bumps! Let me know if you would like to tour the RAP House. YFA is having a 5K in Brooksville on Oct22nd that follows the course of The Flatlander’s Challenge. It is for our New Beginnings Shelter. jsimms@yfainc.org
Just an FYI when you search for what I did “run dmt” a rather popular electronic artist, your website pops up. In other news DMT is one of the most powerful psychedelic drugs to date, which at concentrated dosages can give the user loss of connection to reality and put into an ineffable dreamlike state. It’s also been proven that there are variations and or precursors of dimethyltryptamine, also know. as the Spirit Molecule, in every living life form. Crazy shit huh? Just wanted you to know what you were associated with.
Yes, I am aware of Run DMT (the artist and the drug) and our unique connection. I like to think my blog has the same effect of people. 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Amazing! Am a new runner. Love your Blog! You are awesome!
I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome weblog!
Dear Denise – Today we’re launching an angel funded non-profit nutrition educational organization called Slim is Simple. SIS will provide compelling multimedia resources—free of charge—that the educational and health communities can leverage to share the simple, fun, and proven nutrition and exercise science necessary to stem the obesity, diabetes, and heart disease epidemics. We’re working to get this “curriculum” into schools, churches, and etc.
Wanted to give you a first look at our first full-length animated educational piece at http://youtu.be/U36XJaETbh8 with the hopes that we can collaborate on giving this non-profit educational effort the legs it needs to make a difference in the mainstream.
Thanks again for all that you already do to help so many to live so much better.
Gratefully,
Jonathan Bailor
