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 »

“I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it” First let me say how very lucky that you are reading this because you would not want to hear my singing voice or lack there of. Why am I so excited you ask? Well, my second 20 mile run went better than last week’s! It is so hard to believe my old body has hung in this week to get another strong long run under my training belt. It was a perfect running day. I could not ask for better weather conditions with the low 60′s temps and cloudy skies. The figure 8 route I chose was basically the same as last week but decided to do the second half in the opposite direction giving me some different hills. I know that Newport’s Marathon is on the hilly side … Read entire article »

Morning! If you are a repeat reader of runtrackmind you may have seen the challenge I’ve set for myself this year to run 4 half and 2 full marathons. Phase 1 of the goal consisted of the first 2 half and 1 full marathons which I completed on May 30th. Phase 2 is now officially scheduled….No turning back now. October 3rd– Smuttynose Half Marathon, Hampton NH October 17th– Amica Marathon, Newport RI November 14th – Chilly Half Marathon, Newton MA While signing up for these races I did something I’ve never done before. I signed up for a race a year in advance! Crazy, right? But it had to be done. The Rock N Roll Series is coming to Providence and was offering a $55 special so I thought what the heck. I realized yesterday that … Read entire article »
