My name is Amy Reinink. I’m an award-winning writer who specializes in storytelling, with topics including health and fitness; business, entrepreneurship and real estate; travel; and arts and entertainment. My
work has appeared in publications including The Washington Post, Entrepreneur, Running Times, Women’s Running and The Center for Public Integrity.
I’m also a middle-of-the-pack marathon runner who covers the Washington-area running community as the DC Running Examiner.
Before moving to Silver Spring, Md., as a freelance writer in October 2008, I spent six years mining rural Florida and Maryland for everything from spot news to Sunday narratives for daily newspapers. I’ve covered hurricanes, wildfires, elections, murder trials, zoning-board meetings, national championship games and small-town festivals, all with equal aplomb.
About my blog: I’m not a running coach, or a sports nutritionist. I’m just a fellow runner who’s eager to share her training tips and tricks. I also Tweet about running in the Washington area as DCRunnerGrrl.
