I can’t believe it’s March and I’m just now figuring out my race plans. Everything hinged on getting into the new Marine Corps Marathon 50k. If I had not, I’d have upended everything to find another race. So, here we go… March 17 – Four Courts Four – I run or volunteer at this race…
Tag: race schedule
Race all the miles. Travel all the places.
This fall is looking a little crazy. In fact, I may have bitten off more than I can chew – especially considering I’m still babying my ankle a bit. But today on Tuesdays on the Run we are talking fall plans, so I’m going to put it all down “on paper” for the first time….
Figuring out my post-MCM race schedule
In just over two weeks, I’ll be running my “A” race for the fall. I’ve been training all summer (I know, I’m surprised too) and I’m currently loving my taper. OK, I’ll be honest, I may be too good at tapering. I should run at least one more double digit run in the next few…
Kicking off the fall race season
I love fall. It’s my favorite time of year. The mornings and evenings are cool, it’s still light out for lots of hours, and the race scene picks up again (as does my pace.) Every fall I think “I don’t have many races, just Marine Corps Marathon”, so I sign up for a race and…

Tips for racing in all 50 states

CyberMonday Deals + Planning my 2016 calendar: Serial Racing Review
You all know I love to race. I had no idea just how crazy my race schedule would be when I started this blog. After all, I just wanted to train for and run the 2008 Marine Corps Marathon. But somewhere along the way, I got bitten by the race bug and started setting all…
TTT: Cello, 10 foods, and crazy ideas
1. Last night was Jones’ winter concert. He started playing the cello this fall, so we got to attend the annual band, orchestra, and chorus concert. The concert was surprisingly good. It was probably helped by the fact that the beginning strings section is not using bows yet and we were spared the sound of…
