2019 Frederick Running Festival: Here I Come!

Mar 03, 2019

So I’ve gotten myself into a bit of a pickle, friends. I’ve signed up to run a half-marathon on May 5th. It has been a long time since I’ve run an actual race (we’re talking YEARS) and I’m both anxious and excited. (Mostly anxious.) So it makes sense that I’m easing back into it with my hometown running festival. A total no brainer! I mean, I’ve made so many great memories with the Frederick Running Festival over the years. (It was the very first 1/2 marathon I ever attempted. Me and this race go waaaaay back!) That all being said,…

So it’s been awhile. Life’s been chugging along in our little corner of the internet event though we’ve (gasp!) not been consistently recording it. Shocking when you consider our little group is about as document-y and overshare-y as they come. Since the time we started this wonderful writing project, our lives have evolved. This project itself has evolved. Where once we were a merry band of four, Pursuit Of It All is now being steered by two. This change was brought about by nothing other than the simple realization that at this moment in time, we didn’t all share the…

There is literally nothing I enjoy less than budgeting. My husband and I work together on it, and by work together I mean he budgets and I try desperately to stay within the parameters. He is terrific at making sure that bills are not only paid but also that emergency funds are stocked and that we have spending money for the fun stuff. My job is to stay out of his way. And to not whine too much about it. This year we’ve decided to do more traveling than in previous years so it is more important than ever for us to cut back and…

A Girls’ Getaway To The Poconos

Feb 19, 2018
Amanda Rodriguez

The Poconos is as perfect a getaway for a group of your gal pals as it is for you and your significant other.

This was a hosted trip covered by Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau. I don’t know about you, but when I think of the Poconos, I think heart-shaped beds and champagne flute bathtubs. It is like the quintessential couples weekend getaway destination, with all of the mirrored ceiling clichés one can think of. But, in reality, there is more to it than that. Nestled in the Pennsylvania mountains, visitors can enjoy outdoor adventures year-round while also partaking in delicious culinary experiences, antique shopping trips, or a relaxing day at the spa, making as perfect a getaway for a group of your…

Words Of Wisdom From 2017 Inc. Women’s Summit

So, recently my friend (and Pursuit co-founder) Sue and I went a bit rogue and decided to take a leadership leap and hustle ourselves up to New York City for a few days to attend the 2017 Inc. Women’s Summit. I didn’t know much about the Women’s Summit when I agreed to go, but Sue found it intriguing and suggested we attend together. If I’m being honest, I think we were initially more excited about the city experiences we had planned than the actual Summit content. Because, NEW YORK. And yes, we did it up prior to the event: shopping,…
