I finally ran another race. And, more importantly, finished the race. Bethel Half If you are a close follower of my blog, you will recall the Bethel Half Marathon was a favorite of mine my first year in North Carolina. I was going to run the half again this year but decided on Wednesday, I… Continue reading Bethel 5K Race Review
I would love to say that I have planned out my year to the race but so far I have not really done that. I was looking at a 25K in February that will most likely not happen. I have yet to run a step in 2017 and it is the sixth. I’ve been having… Continue reading A Year of Racing
It’s been just about two weeks since I ran the Conquer the Mountain Half Marathon in Franklin, NC. Funny! When I bought my Subaru in NY, the guy asked me if I knew where Franklin was as he was heading there for a wedding in June. I had no idea and had never even heard… Continue reading Conquer the Mountain Half Marathon
Don’t ask! I’m not sure what motivates me to run races when I haven’t trained for them. There was Bethel last month. This month it is tomorrow’s Conquer the Mountain Half in Franklin. I have found that the way to get to know an area is to know the area’s runners. To be able… Continue reading A Half Coming Up
Normally, I’d be reviewing my annual goals right now. I probably should have done it over the weekend when I took time to do my business goals for the quarter. I thought I was going to but then I got into a discussion about how I really wanted to go to Oktoberfest at Wicked Weed… Continue reading I’m Not Ready

I am once again an ambassador for the Asheville Marathon and Half at Biltmore Estate. The 2017 race is the fifth year. The race has grown each year. The first… Continue reading Come Visit Asheville!
It’s Wednesday. The race was Sunday. I feel like I am already behind on a recap but today is my last recovery day. Probably not totally necessary as I had barely trained for this race so why should I recover. In a complete opposite from last year, the weather preceding race day is not spectacular.… Continue reading Asheville Half Marathon – Race Recap
Race week is here! I have a few races coming up in the next six weeks. Two are out of town and those races tend to stress me out as I do not own a car but I have been known to take a Greyhound bus to a race so no car is not a… Continue reading Race Week
This weekend is Parade Day here in the Binghamton area. I have never been a big parade fan but there is also, for the first time, a mile race on Parade Day. I am going to help out with the race. Be not afraid! The woman who thinks a 5K is too short a race… Continue reading Training and Races
