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…
Oh la vasche! (Holy cow!) I had high hopes for a fast time on this course (my initial goal was a 4:10-4:15 run), but it was not to be for a variety of reasons. The quick summary: I didn’t like this race. Overall, my visit to Paris was fantastic, but the marathon was very frustrating and…
Marathon 11: Chattanooga Marathon; Sunday, March 5, 2017, 8am I’m happy to report the hills didn’t destroy me in Chattanooga on Sunday. As I only have flat terrain to train on, there was the very real possibility I would not be able to walk after the marathon due to the hilly course. And that I…
For having lived in Bermuda for seven years – and having run this course two years ago for the Bermuda half marathon – one would think I would not have forgotten how hilly this tiny rock in the middle of the Atlantic is. One would be wrong. As I am writing this four days after…
It’s been a while since I’ve written here, and to be honest, once I started the travels for my last couple races, I just didn’t have the time or the right device to do the few blog posts I planned to do justice. So my apologies for the delay, but I hope you enjoy reading…
I know I’ve been rather slack about blogging lately, and it is more a reflection on how busy I’ve been rather than not having much to say. The good thing is that I now have some more time and have thought of some new blog topics, so I should be back to updating things on…
Eventually, I was going to run an international marathon. It was inevitable, and I’m so happy I ran the Dusseldorf Marathon as that first venture outside the US. My husband was not able to join me, so I was flying solo on this one. I won’t lie to you, after the acts of terrorism in…
(Spoiler alert: there is SERIOUS bling involved!) Now that I’m a couple days removed from the Little Rock Marathon, I’ve had a chance to reflect on the experience, and the one word that keeps popping into my head is community. This race was embraced wholeheartedly by the entire community, and it showed. Runners were treated to…
Not three weeks into the new year and I was back at it, running my third marathon ever in Baton Rouge, at the Louisiana Marathon, on 17 January 2016. For some reason, I was very nervous about this race going into the last two weeks (and especially on race day); one thought behind that is…
Sorry it has taken so long to get this together…it has been almost two weeks since I ran the Williams Route 66 Marathon (and Centre of the Universe 0.3 mi detour!), and it is well past time to get thoughts down. But with being on the road and enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday with family, well,…
