Welcome to The ROTY Running Chronicles, a blog about three siblings—Andy Russell, Julie Bigford,, and Jennifer Williams—who committed to the journey of getting into better shape, and we’re here to share what we’ve learned along the way.

This blog isn’t about perfecting your stride or mastering cadence; it’s about the power of simply taking the next step. We’ll talk about the real, raw moments of our runs—the struggles, the triumphs, and the lessons that go beyond the race itself. From dealing with bad weather and tough days to celebrating the small victories, we believe the key to getting in better shape isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency and showing up, one stride at a time.

In our posts, you won’t find expert running tips or elite training advice but  instead, we focus on embracing the process, pushing through challenges, and finding motivation to keep going, no matter where you start. Join us on this journey as we share our experiences, the highs and lows of each race, and the lessons we’re learning about running and life. If you’re ready to take the next stride with us, you’re in the right place!
