They are, at their heart, a supported long run: There are water stops There are course marshals There are different distances to choose from There is food afterwards There are photographers There is no fee for club members; $5 for non-members What … Continue reading Bill Hogan 3.5 mile Race Recap 1/1/17

Giving up: not an option
Giving: hand over to Perhaps being a slower runner actually helps me at times (that, and being just a wee bit stubborn): I don't have to worry about age group awards. Unless I'm the only one in my age group, not gonna happen. I just had the best race of my life a few weeks ago … Continue reading Giving up: not an option
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
#holottarest:12/5-12/11 Weekly Wrap
This might just be my shortest weekly wrap ever. Because basically, there's almost nothing to report. I came home late Monday night last week and by Tuesday I was running a low grade fever. Fair warning: a little less conversation and a #holottapictures I am still linking up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading #holottarest:12/5-12/11 Weekly Wrap
State #12 . . . :11/28-12/4 Weekly Wrap
. . . #holottafun! Deep in winter, our hosts reached out to some fellow bloggers and myself and invited us to run the Panama City Beach Half Marathon with them. What blogger in their right mind would say no to such an invitation? The road to this meetup was long and rocky and it seemed … Continue reading State #12 . . . :11/28-12/4 Weekly Wrap
Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/24/16
You can have your Troy Turkey Trots, because even though I've never done it, I'm pretty sure I prefer the more low key (and free) Cohoes Turkey Trot. Here's how it went down for the second year I've run it. Packet Pickup I got to the race earlier this year than last year. I knew … Continue reading Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/24/16
Thankful Thanksgiving is over:11/21-27 Weekly Wrap
I've been slacking again. Not a whole lot of strength training or yoga this week. I was fighting off a cold, off and on, and, of course, just super busy with Thanksgiving prep. Thankfully I never felt bad enough that I had to skip a run. I knew I might be better off with extra rest … Continue reading Thankful Thanksgiving is over:11/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Racing ain’t Wrapping up yet!:11/14-20 Weekly Wrap
I've been plagued by this on again off again pain, sort of in my groin, for a few weeks now. Plagued is too strong a word -- I'm pretty sure it wasn't caused by running and it doesn't bother me while running, either. But raising my leg? Or legs swings to the side that I … Continue reading Racing ain’t Wrapping up yet!:11/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Hullabaloo: friend or foe?
Hullabaloo: a very noisy and confused situation I looked at this word and at first thought -- what the heck will I write about? I'm not going to get into a situation that was/is most definitely a hullabaloo right now in the States. Then I read the definition. Hullabaloo definitely describes a lot of race start … Continue reading Hullabaloo: friend or foe?
Slacker/Not Slacking:11/7-13 Weekly Wrap
There wasn't much yoga this week. In point of fact, none. There wasn't much cross training either. And precious little strength training, to boot. So why am I so tired? Well, of course, there was Monday, going through more crap/stuff at my parents, visiting with my parents, driving about 2 hours home. Next I attacked … Continue reading Slacker/Not Slacking:11/7-13 Weekly Wrap
