Half Marathons

One last state for 2016: Spilling over high tea December 2016

December 3, 2016November 30, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I truly cannot believe that this is the last time in 2016 that I will hold a nice warm cuppa in my two hands, pull up a seat, and let you know what's on my mind lately. I can't say that I will be sorry to see 2016 go -- it was a hard year … Continue reading One last state for 2016: Spilling over high tea December 2016

The 2 that got away

October 25, 2016October 24, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 19 Comments

Today I'm talking about half marathons that didn't go quite the way I expected, and what I learned from them. Las Vegas RnR: the first time I chose (sort of) Las Vegas to be my first half marathon because: Running with friends (or so I thought) I love Vegas Mr. Judy also loves Vegas Running … Continue reading The 2 that got away

State No. 11:10/10-16 Weekly Wrap

October 16, 2016October 16, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 30 Comments

Lucky 13 today. I'm not overly superstitious, but I was wearing the same skirt as ZOOMA Annapolis & that one didn't go so well.  But first, let's look at the workouts leading up to the race.  So because I'll be traveling a lot in the next few months, but "wrapped" up with family business too, … Continue reading State No. 11:10/10-16 Weekly Wrap

A Tale of 5 Mugs

August 26, 2016August 26, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

I try to collect a mug from every state I visit -- I started this tradition before I became a runner, but it has become even more important to me since I started to try to run a half in each state. I've talked about this a few times on the blog, including another Friday … Continue reading A Tale of 5 Mugs

Am I an athlete?

August 23, 2016August 22, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 34 Comments

People tell me all the time that I'm an athlete. I run half marathons, after all. Go drive 13.1 miles in your car -- even to me, suddenly it seems like a long distance. But am I really an athlete? Let's take a look at the definition: a person who is proficient in sports and … Continue reading Am I an athlete?

The time I . . .

August 9, 2016August 8, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

. . . left my water bottle in the garage As a slower runner who has "run" into empty water stations, I had always carried my own water with me, in one form or another, for a half marathon. Most shorter races don't seem to have as much trouble keeping water stations stocked, or I … Continue reading The time I . . .

Race week!: 5/9-15 Weekly Wrap

May 15, 2016May 15, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 40 Comments

This week did not start out well. Too much to do, too little time, and a shattered phone. But did it end well? I guess you'll have to read on. I'm wrapping up my race week with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin. You don't have to be a runner to participate in … Continue reading Race week!: 5/9-15 Weekly Wrap

It’s not a half without some drama: TOLT

May 12, 2016May 10, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 10 Comments

I'mĀ Thinking Out LoudĀ about my halfs today. Probably because I have one coming up in just a few days. I'd like to say I train well and then everything just goes smoothly on race day. There's no stress in training or during the race. And then I'd tell you I have this bridge to sell to … Continue reading It’s not a half without some drama: TOLT
