Yes, I know it's 2017, but I was unable to find this year's logo. This is my third year running this low key, free, yet chip timed turkey trot. I'm sure the big ones are a ton of fun, too, but it's just far easier for me to get in and out of a smaller … Continue reading Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/23/17
November 2017: Did I pass?
I ran two races in November, a 15k and a 3.5 mile Turkey Trot, and yes, much like last year in November, I PR'd them both. Clearly I need a half in November or December next year!

Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
If all I did the previous week was clean, all I did this week was run the dishwasher! Seriously, it's surprising it didn't burn out (and it is still working fine months after not draining properly).

5 Running Movies to Inspire You
Tis the season -- to curl up in front of a fire (if only I had a fireplace!), eating buttered popcorn and watching a good movie. When I have the time, I love watching an inspiring movie before a race. It doesn't necessarily have to be a movie about running. Today I am joining up … Continue reading 5 Running Movies to Inspire You
Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/12/17
Stockadeathon was my last big race of 2017. I didn't ask Rachel @ Runningonhappy for a plan, although I did think about it, because yes, I was gunning for a PR again. And while Darlene was running 13.1 in Vegas with other blogger friends, I still had some friends to hang out with and bumped … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/12/17
