Pumpkins Everywhere
Boo! It’s Halloween the day of ghosts, witches, ghouls and racers. This morning I took on a new role on race day. Hung up the Asics and put on a yellow vest as a race official. It was an open course so not only was I helping the racers stay on the course, but trying to help keep them safe from the traffic.

Marathoner High
I was up before the crack of dawn. 4:30am to be exact. It was Marathon Day today and I had a 45 minute drive to catch the shuttle bus from the parking area at the Newport Grand over to Easton Beach. Yesterday, I was a bit disappointed with the expo, but the race director was on game with the actual event. Everything was well organized and it was just, easy. From the shuttle, to desnigated athlete area, … Read entire article »
