Stockadeathon is the only 15k I've ever done. I really like the distance -- long enough to be a challenge, but ends at about the time I start to get really tired. This year's race dawned with a dusting of snow, and snow continued to pelt the windshield on the drive to the race, but … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18

Cape Cod Half Marathon Race Recap 10/27/18
I had already run a half in MA. The Cape Cod Half Marathon was included in the price of the AMR Retreat. I mean, I'd already paid for it. There was no shorter race. I always thought I'd do a half on Cape Cod, having spent so much time on it over the years. What … Continue reading Cape Cod Half Marathon Race Recap 10/27/18
Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18
This year I got to ride with friends so there was no mad dash to make it to the starting line like last year (read about it here). We had a fairly large group, with most doing the 5k, but this year there were a couple of friends doing the 10k, too. It's always fun … Continue reading Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18
Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
I went into this race half believing I could push through the heat -- after all, my last two long distance races had been even warmer -- and half believing it wouldn't be my day. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know it was the latter. Many have assured me of the fact … Continue reading Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
Oh, the Places Skirt will Take You!
When did I first start running in a skirt? I have to be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I know I didn't run my first two 5ks in a skirt. Or my first two halfs, for that matter. I believe the first half I ran in a skirt was the Runner's World Half in 2014. … Continue reading Oh, the Places Skirt will Take You!
1812 Challenge Race Recap 8/26/18
I won't lie: I spent much of the summer kicking myself for not running this race last summer. Last summer was so much cooler. And race day last summer? I happen to remember it because it was the trail running festival where I did the 5k and then volunteered -- it was a gorgeous, cool … Continue reading 1812 Challenge Race Recap 8/26/18
Here be dragons
Before you could see pretty much anywhere on earth via Google maps -- way before -- map makers would write "here be dragons" for unexplored lands/seas. I've always loved that phrase! How far can you go? For many years I've wondered what lies beyond 13.1 miles (or maybe 14.1, because sometimes I do a warm … Continue reading Here be dragons
Camp Chingacook Race Recap 8/11/18
It's been four years since I ran the Camp Chingacook Challenge; I don't have a race recap on the blog because it was before I started blogging. I think it was only the second time I'd met Darlene @ Myfirst5k. The last time we ran it Chester was still alive, and we went up to … Continue reading Camp Chingacook Race Recap 8/11/18
8 Ways I Recovered from My Longest Runs Ever
While my longest long runs were definitely a bit of a struggle, I recovered from them really well. I am joining the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy and sharing eight, not five, things I did to recover properly. Most taken from my own posts on recovery! Walk it in I try … Continue reading 8 Ways I Recovered from My Longest Runs Ever
Freakin’ Fast Half Marathon Race Recap 7/21/18
I signed up for the Freakin' Fast Half Marathon on Christmas Day of 2017. I guess that's what Jews do while everyone else is celebrating! I had been looking at ID halfs for a while. Since we've done all of New England and a few other east coast states, we've also started to work on … Continue reading Freakin’ Fast Half Marathon Race Recap 7/21/18
