It’s finally here! Race Day!! One nice thing about the NYC Marathon is that it always is on Fall Back weekend so we get an extra hour of sleep! Sean & I set our alarms for 4:30am because we needed to be at the subway station by 5:10am. The train ended up arriving late, at […]
In the first of my NYC Marathon posts, I shared how we got to the run the race. I shared how the process worked and one of the things that they did differently this year is that they made you pick a time to go to the expo. We picked to go between noon and […]
This year, there was only one race that I knew that I wanted to run and it was the NYC Marathon. If the race was held, I was determined that I would be at the starting line! Our journey to the 50th Anniversary of the NYC Marathon started back in June 2019 when we were […]
This is my third time running Revel Big Bear & my 8th Revel race. I’ve run the marathon once and the half marathon twice. Back in 2019 when I ran the half marathon I PR’d by 12 minutes and I remember not even feeling like I was trying (except the last 2 miles LOL). Want […]
After running the Rose Bowl Half, I decided that I should try to do another one before NYC & I knew that Long Beach was around that time. Of course I had to go to Nashville for work that week so I didn’t know what kind of race I would have. I have never run […]
Yesterday, I ran my 65th Half Marathon! The Rose Bowl Half Marathon which used to be called the Pasadena Half. I haven’t run this one since the very first year back in 2017. We drove up on Saturday to the Rose Bowl to pick-up our packets. We were visiting Sean’s mom who was visiting Newport […]
This is the first time I’ve run this race. We are normally out of town, AC 100 is normally this weekend or another 100 mile race so it isn’t on our radar. This year however with us not traveling quite as much and staying closer to home, when my teammates from Arete said that this […]
While June was an awesome month, July not quite so much. This emotional roller coaster I’ve been on for the past year is continuing to derail me but I’ve made some decisions to start making some changes to get off this coaster so hopefully August will come with some clarity & peace. July kicked off […]
Last week I shared the results of my Runner Swag survey. You can see what other people think here. Here are my answers with a little elaboration ;). Question 1/2: Where are you from? and if US, what city, state do you live in? US, I was born in Pennsylvania, moved to Indiana when I […]
A few weeks ago, I saw a tweet from an elite runner that said something to the effect that medals and race shirts should be eliminated so I thought it would be cool to do my own survey and see what my followers thought. Huge thank you to the 83 people who answered my 27 […]
