This race isn't scenic. It isn't fun. And the weather is usually in some way nasty -- this year it was with 30 mph winds gusting up to 40 mph. Yet, I come back year after year -- I always feel my year starts out on the right foot with this "race". The Hudson Mohawk … Continue reading Bill Hogan 3.5 mile Race Recap 1/1/19
Racing
18 in 2018
2018 was just not a normal year. Normally I start the year with a short race on New Year's Day -- I've been doing this race for seven years! Depending what time you're reading this, I'm either hanging out before the race, racing, or have just finished racing. The race was canceled in 2018 due … Continue reading 18 in 2018
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/8/18
No snowy selfies this year, and that's a good thing! OTOH, while I was with a group, I raced alone . . . so no friendly chatting during the race. Ah, but was it a good race? Packet Pickup This year Darlene @ Myfirst5k offered to pick up bibs. In the end, she picked up … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/8/18

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
Life after Goal Races: 10/29- 11/4 Weekly Wrap
You'll probably notice I was a bit of a slug this week. And I'm okay with that. Kind of wished I'd done a little yoga but I didn't and that's just the way it is. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share life after … Continue reading Life after Goal Races: 10/29- 11/4 Weekly Wrap
State Number . . . : 10/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
. . . Well no, MA is a repeat state for me, so just two new states added this year (ID & NJ). However, Mr. Judy (more so than me!) and I have spent many happy hours on the Cape, as his parents retired to there (but then moved away about the time we moved … Continue reading State Number . . . : 10/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
Last Half Training for 2018: 10/15- 21 Weekly Wrap
Thankfully no snow here yet but the temps are cold enough for it overnight! Too soon, Mother Nature, far too soon. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share my last week of hard training for the Cape Cod half as I move into tapertown. … Continue reading Last Half Training for 2018: 10/15- 21 Weekly Wrap
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
Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Fall arrived in a big way this week, but not before Summer battled for it and almost finished me off. Seriously, a couple of days with highs in the low 80s, a super humid run, then temps plummeting to the point where you're trying to figure out how to dress for running outside. I'm joining … Continue reading Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
