[624] – I’m feeling it
My excitement is bubling up as we step closer to May! Wait, April is not even over. To other people, I always have a bunch of races. True, so many, even I can’t keep track of them. We just finish the BRR 50, which was a big race for me. Before then, I ran the…

[Day594] Space Coast
Little did I know there is a bigger excitement (or plan) for me for next year. The news of me getting selected to run the Western States next year put a different light on everything, including the things I originally planned to write like this Space Coast Marathon. The year is not over yet for…

[Day586] MCM48
Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) is a favorite for many people. It has a cult following. I met many people who have done this race year after year. This year we are back to what it was used to be: a lot of people, heat, and thanks to the soldiers, the event was as well run…

[Day577] Rock n The Knob
Claysburg, PA. I ran the Rock n the Knob every year since I first discovered it in 2020. Reports from the 2022 run (here), 2021, and 2020 are linked for those who are interested. Each year is a bit different. One thing constant is the course is hard. I love this race. It is small…

Toronto Marathon [Day554]
It was an exciting trip and a big race for me. I like it just because Toronto is a great city. Granted I didn’t explore much but just the area near my hotel, the place seems orderly and unlike many places in the US. It has been many years, might have been like 24 years…

Roanoke Double Marathon [Day551]
It was a novelty when I ran the Blue Ridge Marathon in 2019. It was known as America hardest road marathon, the footlevelers, with 7000 ft of total elevation (gain and lost). I finished in 4:45 and I thought I was slow because I had expected myself to finish under 4:30 or less. Now four…

Day517 Turkey Trot / NCR
TL;DR – I ran a local 4 mile race on Thanksgiving and over the weekend did a marathon. They are thanksgiving related or happened about the same time frame so two race reports in one. I have done this Fairfax Turkey Trot charity race a few times and yes every time it was freezing cold.…

Day508 Atlantic City Marathon and TR3
Race Recap: NJ Marathon, 11th state. One last far away trip for this year. I ran surprising fast. Maybe couple months ago, I heard of Atlantic City Marathon from Vanessa on SheRunsByTheSeashore. I got a promo code from the blog and signed up. New Jersey is a new state for me and it is also…

Day501 Ann Arbor Marathon
TLDR – 10th state completed. I enjoyed my weekend stay in Ann Arbor, Michigan, brief as it was. I was nervous when I arrived on Friday in Detroit, Michigan. This is a cold place. Though I run well when it is nippy, I don’t like the cold. I packed a bunch of sweaters and long…

Day497 Rock n the Knob
Another year, another week and another race report – It was my third time running and third race this fall season! I’m not jaded by it yet. I love fall! (year1, year2) As if readers haven’t realized, I am hitting my races in full strides this season. This one Rock-n-the Knob is one of the…
