My very iffy 2016 Spring Race Schedule
Are you joining us for Tuesdays on the Run this week? Welcome! Today’s topic is 2016 race plans and I’m gonna be honest and tell you that my spring is very unsettled at this point. A big part of this is that I’m contemplating attempting Mercury with Half Fanatics (23 states in 365 days). I…

Half Marathon #7 for 2013: Frederick Running Festival
If I had to pick one word to describe my running this weekend, it would be “perfect”. Seriously, this was one of the best running weekends I’ve ever had. Both boys had overnights on Saturday, so Beer Geek and I headed alone up to stay at my boss’ house (Beer Geek’s fraternity brother and Shoo’s…
State #25!!!: Colorado – Half Marathon 4 of 5
Short story: I finished. It wasn’t my slowest day. Long story: For the fourth race of the Dust Bowl Series, we ran in Lamar, CO. Thanks to our decision to switch to a B&B, we had a yummy breakfast before the race instead of having to make a PB&J in the room. It was also…

State #22: Texas – Half Marathon 1 of 5!
Short story: I finished. Long story: Monday was the first day of the Dust Bowl Series and we ran around Lake Rita in Dalhart, Texas. It was a 6.55 mile loop that the half marathoners ran twice. It was a “crushed gravel” surface, but really felt more like running on sort of packed dirt. As…
Run, Walk, or Crawl
It seems like only yesterday I was joking about doing 5 half marathons in 5 days, but it’s been 8 months in the making. When Kim and Jess started talking about it on Facebook, I never thought I’d actually do it (and sadly I’m the only one of the three of us doing it). But…

Plane tickets, bike rides, and Boatswain
1. Guess what I did last night? I bought tickets for our trip for me to run 5 half marathons. Holy cow! Today I need to figure out the tickets for the elaborate kid watching we have arranged. I’m so thankful for parents who are willing to rearrange their week to spend one with my…
