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

Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/23/17
Yes, I know it's 2017, but I was unable to find this year's logo. This is my third year running this low key, free, yet chip timed turkey trot. I'm sure the big ones are a ton of fun, too, but it's just far easier for me to get in and out of a smaller … Continue reading Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/23/17
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
State #16, Half #18: 9/25-10/1 Weekly Wrap
It's somewhat short and sweet this week, because what promised to be a crazy week got even crazier midweek and I was feeling really run down (before that) so there wasn't really a whole lot of activity. Aside from a little half marathon. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ … Continue reading State #16, Half #18: 9/25-10/1 Weekly Wrap
A Friendly Weekend: 9/18-24 Weekly Wrap
I may have been tapering this week, but it was filled with tempos, and speedwork, and racing, oh my! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to share how my last week before my Fall half went down. Workouts update Monday: Dogwalk, 2 mile walk because 2 left shoes!, PB Core Tuesday: … Continue reading A Friendly Weekend: 9/18-24 Weekly Wrap
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
Superaging: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2017
Mostly I'm thinking about my last race today. Not so much in a "I should have done this" or "I should have done that" sort of way. More in a "I'm just kind of shocked" kind of way. Have I ever told you the story of my engagement to Mr. Judy? I don't remember (guess … Continue reading Superaging: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2017
Run the Utah Valley Marathon with me!
As I mentioned in yesterday's post (read it here), I am so excited to have the chance to run the Utah Valley Half Marathon on June 10, 2017 (disclaimer: I was provided a free race entry from the race organizers). What's almost as exciting? Being able to share my good fortune with one of my … Continue reading Run the Utah Valley Marathon with me!
Setting the bar high
Today our hosts are asking how much is the most you would pay for a race. I think the most I ever paid was about $125 or so for Las Vegas (my first!). And I've gone as low as $35, I think -- and pretty much everywhere in between -- including free -- thank you, … Continue reading Setting the bar high
