St. Pat’s 10K and GW Parkway Training Recap
A couple of weeks ago, I won a race entry from a local race company (Pacers Events) with this Instagram photo. The win netted me entry into either the St.Pat’s races or the Four Courts Four Miler. Since Beer Geek and I were already running the Four Miler, I chose the St. Pat’s 10K. (And…

Skirt Sports 10 on 10!
We all know how much I love Skirt Sports! I wear the Happy Girl skirt at nearly every race I run. So, I’m really excited to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. But, I’m not nearly as excited as they are! To celebrate, they are holding another virtual run. This is their 10 on 10 virtual…
State #21: Iowa – Will run for Watermelon
One of these days I’ll check the race description/elevation chart BEFORE I sign up. I’m beginning to feel like I’m not on just a 50 states quest, but rather a quest to find all the hills along the way. The Good: Muscatine, Iowa is a really cool small town. The boys got to play at…
State 19: Oregon AKA the accidental trail race
Some day I’m going to choose a race that’s “flat and fast”. But, that would require actually reading the race course description before I sign up. I recently completed Oregon by running the Deschutes Dash 10k in Bend, OR. I thought I was running a flat race on a paved path by a river. I…
State #16: Michigan
Earlier this summer, my dad decided that we should get one more state. Apparently Utah and Wyoming weren’t enough for one summer. I did some searching and found a race that was right over the border from Wisconsin in Michigan. Beer Geek wasn’t with us, so we had to be a little creative so that…
State #15: Wyoming
Once again, I prepped well for this race. We spent the afternoon prior to the race hiking around Fossil Butte. Then we attended the Oyster Music Festival, which may have involved drinking a few Fat Tires and eating freshly made potato chips and funnel cake. What can I say? I know how to treat my…
State #14: Utah
We traveled out to Utah for a family vacation this year. We were able to make it coincide with the Pioneer Days race, so my dad and I ran the 10K and my mom ran the 5K. To make things as challenging as possible (’cause you know altitude and a wicked hill weren’t enough), we…
Oh, the irony
Sarah at Running (to keep up) with a Toddler asked me “What is your favorite distance to run?” My favorite distance? 10K I know I’m unusual in that. Most people don’t like it because it’s too long to go flat out like a 5k, but too short to consider a true endurance race and take…
10K race/10 mile run – Clarendon Day 10K
Today was the first annual Clarendon Day 10K run. This race used to be known as the Battle of the Boulevard and it started in Clarendon, went down the huge hill into Rosslyn, turned, and then came back up the hill. Now, the race goes down the big hill, goes farther down the highway at…
State #7: A 10K PR!
Short story: Today’s race was awesome and I finished in 54:49 according to Garmin (no official results yet). Settle back with a beer, the rest of the story is pretty long. Pre-race: We left DC at 7 am on Friday morning. We had decided to go the western route, rather than I-95. Travel went great for…
