Memorial Day is the one day a year when we are asked to remember our military who have fallen in service to our country. We pay respects with flags and parades, spending time with family and loved ones, fully enjoying the freedoms that the sacrifices of those service members have given us. When we remember…
Somehow I find myself at marathon #20. I honestly couldn’t remember which number marathon I was on when someone asked me last night, and I had to really think about it. Amazing how the numbers run together; however, there is nothing about the actual races that run together in my mind. They are all so…
Ok, I made it through the Cayman Islands Half Marathon (3 December 2017) after basically not having run since the Richmond Marathon (11 November 2017), and it wasn’t too bad. In spite of fairly high humidity and lack of running, I had a respectable 2:08 finish. I was cognizant that it needed to be run…
With essentially a 2 1/2 week break from running after the Richmond Marathon on November 11th, I’m now staring down my hometown race, the Cayman Islands Half Marathon. If the weather the last two years shows up (80 degrees and stupidly high humidity…at the 5am start!) and if my 6 mi treadmill run today told…
I’m heading back to Richmond, Virginia, for the next marathon, my 17th. This race is a special one for one main reason – it is a giant Meg’s Miles reunion, where runners from across the US and a few other places travel to share a weekend of love, laughter, running and even some tears. It…
As I stated in my last blog, I am running the Baltimore Marathon through my home town for two people, 10 year old Alex Rach, who is in a marathon battle against cancer, and for one of our 22 Too Many heroes, Sgt Deana Orellana, who served honourably in the United States Marine Corps. When…
My fall race season is about to begin, and I’m starting it with the Berlin Marathon – one of the world marathon majors! (The other world marathon majors are: Boston, NYC, Chicago, Tokyo, and London at the time of this blog. There are plans to add a couple more races to this list.) My only…
For my 14th marathon and the fifth this year (so far), I’ll be running the Bay of Fundy Marathon on June 25, 2017. This marathon is a little different from other races I have run to date in so many ways. First, it is a cross-border marathon, which means that I’ll be running from the…
Two weeks removed from the Ogden Marathon, and I’ve had some time to really reflect on the great time I had there. I was very nervous going into the race – not so much the race itself but the fact that I was meeting the family of the soldier I was running to remember (Bryan…
One of the partners at my husband’s office recently said I was insane. He is a marathon runner himself, so he understands the highs and lows of running. He knows how it feels to cross the finish line. He is part of the relatively insane folks 1% who will run a marathon in their lifetime. What…
