I have been looking at half marathons in Savannah forever, it seems. But I'm picky; just ask Mr. Judy. Many of the halfs there are in April -- too hot and humid (and maybe rainy)! Of course sometimes you can catch a break, but no. Just no. Then Best Damn Races announced they would be … Continue reading Best Damn Race Savannah Half Marathon Race Recap 2/16/19

Cape Cod Half Marathon Race Recap 10/27/18
I had already run a half in MA. The Cape Cod Half Marathon was included in the price of the AMR Retreat. I mean, I'd already paid for it. There was no shorter race. I always thought I'd do a half on Cape Cod, having spent so much time on it over the years. What … Continue reading Cape Cod Half Marathon Race Recap 10/27/18
Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18
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
Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
I went into this race half believing I could push through the heat -- after all, my last two long distance races had been even warmer -- and half believing it wouldn't be my day. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know it was the latter. Many have assured me of the fact … Continue reading Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
1812 Challenge Race Recap 8/26/18
I won't lie: I spent much of the summer kicking myself for not running this race last summer. Last summer was so much cooler. And race day last summer? I happen to remember it because it was the trail running festival where I did the 5k and then volunteered -- it was a gorgeous, cool … Continue reading 1812 Challenge Race Recap 8/26/18
Camp Chingacook Race Recap 8/11/18
It's been four years since I ran the Camp Chingacook Challenge; I don't have a race recap on the blog because it was before I started blogging. I think it was only the second time I'd met Darlene @ Myfirst5k. The last time we ran it Chester was still alive, and we went up to … Continue reading Camp Chingacook Race Recap 8/11/18
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
Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/18
Ah Firecracker: the race we love to hate and yet keep coming back to, year after year. Always hot (except for one fluke cool year), it was much hotter than previous years. We all set out to take it sort of easy and enjoy the race -- and we did! Getting There & Hanging Out … Continue reading Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/18
Freihofer’s Run for Women 5k Race Recap 6/2/18
Ah, Freihofer's . . . the race that I love to hate and love again. It was my very first race ever. Seriously, I "trained" for it for like a year. It's a 5k. Fast forward eight years, and I toed the line knowing this wouldn't be a PR, but still willing to try my … Continue reading Freihofer’s Run for Women 5k Race Recap 6/2/18
Jogs for Jugs 5k Race Recap 5/19/18
I don't normally run a lot of 5ks, period. And I rarely run 5ks in the spring/ summer. Usually I'm too deep in training for a half, plus I'm not particularly fond of racing when it's hot, but my first half of 2018 is still two months away. Jogs for Jugs benefits local Breast Cancer … Continue reading Jogs for Jugs 5k Race Recap 5/19/18
