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

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
Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/13/16
I had a plan for this race, and it wasn't to PR. I wanted to treat it as somewhere between a tempo run and a 15k at roughly race pace, shooting for an average pace of 12:15. I wanted to see if I felt I could go another 4 miles after I finished, since I … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/13/16
Craft Classic Phoenix Half Marathon Race Recap 10/16/16

Right next … Continue reading Craft Classic Phoenix Half Marathon Race Recap 10/16/16
Maddie’s Mark 5k Race Recap 9/10/16
This is the fourth year that I've run this race -- unfortunately they keep moving it earlier in the year, so it's gotten warmer and warmer, and I have gotten slower and slower. But it's still a fun race and I always look forward to it. Packet Pickup There are a few races I trust … Continue reading Maddie’s Mark 5k Race Recap 9/10/16
Navigant Blackstone Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 5/5/13
If you ever ask me what my worst half marathon was, this was it. It wasn't the first time I had knee pain in a race, but it was the first time that it was so bad for months afterward that I didn't think I would be able to do another half marathon. But let's … Continue reading Navigant Blackstone Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 5/5/13
Austin Livestrong Half Marathon Race Recap 2/19/12
To date this is the only half marathon that Mr. Judy missed. He was at a conference on the west coast, so I flew out ahead of time, spent a few days relaxing, and didn't have to worry about waking him up super early to eat my prerace breakfast. He flew in that night. It's … Continue reading Austin Livestrong Half Marathon Race Recap 2/19/12
