I'd thought I'd offer up the story of how I really began running. Looking back I thought I started running to get some exercise, lose a few pounds (of college weight) and then I remembered that an ex I had, who'd been a cross country star, told me I'd never be a runner. I think … Continue reading My Running Journey

So as I'm in the thick of training for the half marathon races we have coming up this late spring/summer I was really excited when I saw the opportunity to get a free tee from the Rock n Roll folks at the Competitor group for kicking off the registration for RNR Las Vegas. Jon and … Continue reading RNR Vegas Kickoff Run
Stevens Point, WI | December 6, 2014 | Time: 46:09 | The first race Jon and I have ever done together. 🙂 I had been looking for a race for us to do together for awhile but hadn't seen anything online or through my Run Locator App. Jon had done a lot of the training … Continue reading Frostbite 5 Miler
Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon | November 16, 2014 | Anaheim, CA | Time: 2:09:05 | A fantastic weekend in California. JJ and I visited with Emily and Brian, saw Disneyland, and ran a great (windy) race. Not my fastest time, but 3rd best so I'll take it. It was the windiest race I've ever … Continue reading Avengers in California
Across the Bay 10K - November 9, 2014 - Annapolis, MD Time: 59:06 So this was on Sunday the day after my wonderful friends Cara and Eric's wedding- which worked out perfectly in my travel planning from Wisconsin. The race went pretty well. It was a steady painful climb to the top of the Chesapeake … Continue reading A Wedding and a Bridge Run
Milton, DE | September 28, 2014 | Time: 29:08 | The 6th year of Dogfish Dashing. Of course this year I traveled from a far and stayed in DC on Thursday night getting to take in a little VA book club before heading out to Delaware in the Wynsor-mobile. Â We stopped at the brewery … Continue reading Dash weekend 2014!
Raleigh, NCÂ | April 13, 2014 | Time: 2:11:27 | First big half since my injury last fall. Not too shabby considering it was all hills and a heat filled day! Kristi had also been having knee problems so she stuck to my 9:45 min pace for the race. It was nice to run the whole … Continue reading Rock ‘n’ Roll Raleigh Half Marathon
Washington, DC |Â April 6, 2014 | Time: 1:38:19 | Perfect weather for this race- high 40s, sunshine, fair breeze. Sadly too many people out there despite the wave starts- we need to be in even more corrals since the coarse is pretty thin. Also sadly, only a few cherry blossoms along the way. I stole … Continue reading Cherry Blossom Ten Miler
Arlington, VA | March 15, 2014 | Time: 39:08 | Two years ago I promised myself I'd never run this race again.. and then there I was registering. At least this time I was sort of prepared for the pain of Wilson Blvd. Tried to take the first two miles out at a decent pace … Continue reading Four Courts Four Miler
