Lawson Lake Trail 5k Race Recap 10/14/19

October 22, 2019October 21, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

I know, I know -- I just ran a 10k a couple of days before this "race". I use the term race loosely. Trail runs/races just tend to be fun runs for me. That's the attitude I went into this with. A gorgeous weekend, a lake, trails, friends. What could go wrong? Packet Pickup We … Continue reading Lawson Lake Trail 5k Race Recap 10/14/19

Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/12/19

October 15, 2019October 14, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 24 Comments

Our group was slightly smaller than in past years, with Darlene @ Myfirst5kresting up for her 20 miler the next day (7 + a Half), and another running friend not able to make it. About evenly split between 5kers and 10kers. Packet Pickup We all picked up our packets the day of the race this … Continue reading Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/12/19

18 in 2018

January 1, 2019December 31, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 17 Comments

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

Goals: Met & Looking into 2019

December 18, 2018December 17, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

When it comes to running goals, I had four main goals for 2018: Stay injury free Run the 1812 Challenge PR a 5k Add 2 new states So how'd that work for me? Let's see! Stay injury free Despite ending the year with some piriformis/hamstring pain, I'd say I rocked this. The only time I … Continue reading Goals: Met & Looking into 2019

Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/8/18

December 11, 2018December 10, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

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

Have I let myself go? + a Giveaway

December 4, 2018December 3, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 21 Comments

Have you? I have a dirty secret. In fact, I have several sheet pans that I've had forever and not bothered to clean, so I just slap some foil over them and then throw out said foil when I'm done. Am I just lazy? Have I stopped taking care of my things? I know today's … Continue reading Have I let myself go? + a Giveaway

November 2018: Did I pass?

November 27, 2018November 26, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

When it comes to racing, 2018 was just an odd year. Some highs, some lows, and a lot of races that just didn't happen (but luckily weren't registered for so I lost nothing). Getting in scheduled runs Essentially there were no scheduled runs. No big goal races. Not as much racing as I usually do … Continue reading November 2018: Did I pass?

Why I’m grateful for running

November 20, 2018November 20, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

There are so many benefits to running, but this Thanksgiving I'm grateful that running gets me out there in nature. I won't run through everything, but I have run in some pretty hot conditions, in a Nor'easter, into the single digits, into wind that almost blew me into Lake Champlain, occasionally in snow storms -- … Continue reading Why I’m grateful for running

Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18

November 13, 2018November 12, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 32 Comments

Stockadeathon is the only 15k I've ever done. I really like the distance -- long enough to be a challenge, but ends at about the time I start to get really tired. This year's race dawned with a dusting of snow, and snow continued to pelt the windshield on the drive to the race, but … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18

Cape Cod Half Marathon Race Recap 10/27/18

November 6, 2018November 6, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 31 Comments

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
