My original plan for this year was to actually train for a 5k for a change. Outside of my first (and my slowest), I've never specifically trained for one -- I just run one every now and again. Well, being sick on and off for January and February and some of March, too -- that … Continue reading Cherry Blossom 5k Race Recap 4/29/18

Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/15/18
This race keeps getting later and later in the year, and yet the weather doesn't seem to improve. Two years ago, the last time I ran this 5 mile race, it was the beginning of April and it snowed. Our forecast was for an ice storm the night before -- but for once, thankfully, the … Continue reading Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/15/18
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
Thatcher Trail Festival 5k Race Recap 8/27/17
I had had my eye on the 5k in the Thatcher Park Trail Running Festival for months -- but I only wanted to run it if the weather was nice. Especially since I ran 9 miles the day before the race. And lucky me, it was just a beautiful weekend to run. A brief … Continue reading Thatcher Trail Festival 5k Race Recap 8/27/17
Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/17
It was so funny reading the start of last year's recap (read it here), about Mr. Judy and Bandit having no problems that first day. If only we knew what we were in for! Again, what a difference a year makes . . . in life and running. Getting There & Hanging Out For the … Continue reading Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/17
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
ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon Race Recap 5/30/15
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
