Partially written on paper as I waited with my daughter’s car to get a new rim on. I have had some horrible cell phone issues and just now managed to get the photos off the phone. I have had problems getting this done as I had such a great weekend in DC that I didn’t… Continue reading Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Miler – Race Recap
Sunday was my fourth Forks XV. I love this race and would run it all the time if possible. This particular year I did not run to best my own time but to pace a friend. Helen, while a one time marathoner, has recently just started back running. She had run the route before but… Continue reading 41st Annual Forks XV – Race Recap
Grab a snack and cup of coffee. This one’s a long recap. I loved this race and there will be more coming about the trip to Asheville. I do want to say that I was part of a group of 18 ambassadors for this race and did receive my race entry free due to helping… Continue reading Asheville Marathon and Half at Biltmore Estate – Race Recap
While I live in NYS and schools do not start back until after Labor Day, friends across the country are sending their children back to school which means summer is slowing coming to a close. This past weekend I spent time inside and out as I did house things I have been working on over… Continue reading Ending Summer
Saturday dawned very foggy at my house. I frequently get fog here as I am in a very sheltered valley and live by two creeks that are good sized. Realize that this plan was odd but looked like my 18 year old would get up and take me to the race. I would walk home.… Continue reading Vestal XX Recap
I’m going to warn you upfront. This race was amazing. This recap will be long. It may take more than one post to get it all out. Roanoke is a beautiful city. Friends that I have met before and those who I had not met yet made the weekend even better than the beautiful surroundings.… Continue reading Blue Ridge Marathon Recap – First 13 miles
Weekends at my house are just messes of people trying to get a lot done in very little time. Last weekend also involved working out a time to go pick up Number Five from college as his “Easter/Passover” break was beginning. On top of that, he had broken a tooth a week ago eating trail… Continue reading Weekends, Races and a Winner
Do you run the same races every year? I try to support my local running club by running local races but I do not get to all of them. I like to volunteer at some of them so that means not running. There are only two races I have run every year since I started… Continue reading Running Improvement
My second marathon in 21 days. I frequently wondered what I was thinking when I made that goal. There has to, somewhere, be a more realistic goal for a 50 year old woman who has only been running since 2007. Evidently, if there is, I am unaware of it and just “keep chuggin’ along” towards… Continue reading @BuffaloMarathon Recap
I ran a fantastic race while I was out in California. I discovered the Palm Springs Tram Challenge, a 6K run/walk that had a 2000 foot elevation increase, online. Since I would not have a car constantly at my discretion while in the area, I emailed my stepfather – the trip was still a surprise… Continue reading Tram Challenge – A Race Recap
