Malta Marathon in February 2025 was a fun weekend where I unexpectedly met up with a good friend who happened to be ‘in the area’ that weekend. Lots of running, lots of laughs, and making lots of fun memories! Thanks for being there for me, Beth!
Marathon #43 – the first of a back-to-back weekend marathon adventure – was run in Split, Croatia! This was the 25th anniversary of the event, and it proved to be a fun and faster than expected run for me.
As always, I celebrated the finish with a local beer and some fries!
Friends, this is a race weekend that is not for the faint of heart – or the untrained. You are challenged with speed in one race, and left with hills, winds, humidity, and even rum stops over longer distances in other races. And I’m so excited that I was able to complete it again, even…
I signed up for a 30K race in Cayman in October. I knew it was going to be hot and thus a challenging run. The morning didn’t seem too horrible for a long run in East End, but as soon as the sun came up, BOOM. That changed. It’s no surprise that my first hour…
At some point on the cycling excursion my husband and I undertook in the week preceding the Budapest Marathon, we got on to the subject of haiku, a type of Japanese poetry that is characterized by having three lines, each line with a set number of syllables (5, 7, 5).

My annual tradition of running a spring marathon (or two) in Europe with my friend Sarah has continued into 2019, making it the fourth year in a row that I’ve been able to head across the pond for what has now affectionately been dubbed #euromarathonadventure. This tradition started in 2016, when I won a free…

A Tale of Two Marathons Part 1: The Bungay Marathon 8 April 2018 It was the best of races, it was the worst of races. It was the age of hope, it was the age of foolishness. It was the season of drizzle, it was the season of fog. They were races of challenges, they…
As someone who plans to run a marathon in all 50 states, I’ve looked at many marathon options available. And there are many. However, there are some events that are truly special and must-do type events for each state, and I heard Bataan Memorial Death March at the White Sands Missile Range was one such…
I have now run the Cayman Islands Half Marathon for four consecutive years, and I haven’t done a race recap. Shame on me, as this race is such a great one, and they deserve any and all PR to attract those who are interested in a fun weekend getaway and a FLAT course for either…
