Less Than Desired: A Race Recap
Yesterday I ran my 5th half marathon of 2012 in beautiful Falmouth, MA. This was the first race in Cape Cod for Zooma Women’s Race Series. So the big question of the day was if it is a women’s race, why were there guys running? Hmmmmmm. I ended up going up the night before the race because there was not a same day bib pickup option. The race location was at Sea Crest Beach Inn, which … Read entire article »
Getting What You Deserve
If you put in mediocre training you get mediocre results. Today I ran the Surftown Half Marathon in beautiful Westerly, RI. The start finish line was at Misquamicut Beach which is a very quaint beach community with all the little shops, hotels and food shacks that you can imagine. It was an hour and half drive so I was up at 4 am and out the door by 5 to pick up my race packet at … Read entire article »

Still Chasing The Unicorn
Today I should be a Boston Marathoner. I had big dreams, but God had other plans. The day started out in bright colorful running gear but quickly turned to just a crumpled tattered bib.

I felt strong and … Read entire article »

The Last Half
Yesterday I headed down to Falmouth, MA to run my last half marathon of 2011. It was a classic cloudy cool fall morning and just how I like it. I arrived just over an hour early to pick up my bib and loosen up a bit from the hour drive. Unfortunately I found the bib pick up a bit more hectic than it should have been but still made it through the bathroom line and … Read entire article »
Number 7
Last weekend I ran my 7th half marathon of 2011. A year ago I ran the full marathon and loved the half marathon portion so much I wanted to add the half marathon to my race schedule this year and I am so glad I did. It was another perfect fall weather weekend and my ankle and foot was in much better shape than last weekend’s race. Much like the B.A.A. half marathon, there was no available … Read entire article »
