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

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
Who knew air drying clothes would be helpful?: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2018
Well, the first thing I'd tell you is that we apparently had two tea dates in February because I forgot to change the subject for March's tea date. It was that kind of month. I'd also tell you that Gizmo, at 17, isn't our oldest cat ever -- in fact, he still has a … Continue reading Who knew air drying clothes would be helpful?: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2018
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/9/17
It was both a PW (personal worst) and a PB (personal best) -- PW in terms of finish time, PB in terms of #holottafun. In fact, I'm kind of wimping out even calling this a race recap and posting it, but I guess you'll need to read on to see why. Packet Pickup After last … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/9/17
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
Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/14/17
I sort of feel that I got both a trick and a treat in this race -- tricked in the parking guidance, treated to a PR (although my Garmin shows the course just a smidge short). I know this is a 10k race review, and it ought to be considerably shorter than a half review, … Continue reading Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/14/17
Wineglass Half Marathon Race Recap 10/01/17
I guess you could call 2017 the friendly half marathon year, as in I knew someone in every single half marathon I ran this year. And the number of friends running increased with every half! I do not foresee a repeat in 2018, though. Mr. Judy had been complaining for quite some time that we … Continue reading Wineglass Half Marathon Race Recap 10/01/17
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
