It was so funny reading the start of last year's recap (read it here), about Mr. Judy and Bandit having no problems that first day. If only we knew what we were in for! Again, what a difference a year makes . . . in life and running. Getting There & Hanging Out For the … Continue reading Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/17

Utah Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 6/10/17
Utah Valley Half Marathon promised us scenery and a fast downhill course. And for me they delivered on their promises. I admire bloggers who write nice, concise race recaps. That is not me. But you can check out for some that aren't quite as wordy as mine: Marcia @ Marciashealthyslice, Holly @ Hohoruns, MB @ … Continue reading Utah Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 6/10/17
Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon Race Recap 4/30/17
Yes, I tackled my first trail race in the Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon. It sucked (mud, that is) but didn't suck (as in I didn't hate the race). I wrote about being a traiblazer for my last half recap just a month ago (read about it here) -- well, now I can actually claim … Continue reading Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon Race Recap 4/30/17
Best Damn Race New Orleans Half Marathon Race Recap 3/26/17
Another half, another inaugural race. Just call me a trailblazer. Packet Pickup I give BDR kudos for being able to switch packet picket on such short notice-- and communicate it to the racers -- it was the right call. It was supposed to be at Louis Armstrong park, where the race began and ended. But … Continue reading Best Damn Race New Orleans Half Marathon Race Recap 3/26/17
ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon Race Recap 5/30/15
I signed up for ZOOMA Annapolis pretty much on a whim. I'd run a half the beginning of May, and it went so well that I felt I might as well do another one. Soon. I actually wanted to do Shipyard Maine (which I would go on to run in 2016), but the race sells … Continue reading ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon Race Recap 5/30/15
Bill Hogan 3.5 mile Race Recap 1/1/17
The Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club puts on what they call the winter series. They are, at their heart, a supported long run: There are water stops There are course marshals There are different distances to choose from There is food afterwards There are photographers There is no fee for club members; $5 for non-members What … Continue reading Bill Hogan 3.5 mile Race Recap 1/1/17
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/10/16
Bad race tee, cold weather, good running friends, pretty views -- that was this year's Last Run Albany in a nutshell. Packet Pickup I don't know what happened this year -- I didn't get there super late -- about an hour before the race. I "ran" into problems with packet pickup for the first time. … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/10/16
Panama City Beach Half Marathon Race Recap 12/3/16
When my first two halfs of 2016 (Shipyard Maine and Craft Classic Phoenix) didn't result in PRs, I was just sure that 2016 wasn't my year for a half marathon PR. Because I was going to run my last half of the year in FL, and although I was praying for a cold snap, I … Continue reading Panama City Beach Half Marathon Race Recap 12/3/16
Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/24/16
You can have your Troy Turkey Trots, because even though I've never done it, I'm pretty sure I prefer the more low key (and free) Cohoes Turkey Trot. Here's how it went down for the second year I've run it. Packet Pickup I got to the race earlier this year than last year. I knew … Continue reading Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/24/16
Girls on the Run 5k Race Recap 11/19/16
If you're not familiar with Girls on the Run, you should check them out. I wish I'd had a program like this when I was a girl! This was my second year running this race, and it was also the second year the race was ran -- got that? Packet Pickup While there was … Continue reading Girls on the Run 5k Race Recap 11/19/16
