Day520 Devil Dog RP
Race Report – Devil Dog, a 100 mile trail race, took place December 3-4, 2022, just outside of DC in Triangle, Virginia. I finished in 31 hours. Originally, I was hoping to do it in 28-29 hours. For comparison, the first place winner finished in around 20:08 hours. (Tara Dower from Virginia Beach broke the […]

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. […]

Day515 JFK Race Report
TL;DR – Race Report for JFK. 2nd time running it “Let us run the race set out for us with perserverance” The quote was much an encouragement in my race, which was especially a very long race that went from sun up to sun down. There were plenty of time for me in solitude pondering […]

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 […]

Day483 Grandmas Marathon
TL;DR a long post of I had a good race but I can’t say exactly why it was so good after I finished. I finally put together various tips and my thoughts for this race. Enjoy! What makes a race great? I guess everything just clicks in a good race. Many reasons have to do […]

Day482 Bishop’s Half
I ran with them once some years back maybe in 2018 or 2019. I might have a post on it. I will need to search back at the older entries (I think I found it, day 136). Bishop is I think the name of the race director. Last time I ran was to do it […]

Day477 MMT conclusion
This was one of those goals I was trying to reach and ended up failing. I have been telling myself, I picked too many safe goals in the past where failures are almost impossible and I needed to try some of those goals where success is not guaranteed. So, I am not sad about not […]

Day470 Salisbury Marathon (RunSBY)
After running the Newport News Marathon last month, I came into the Salisbury Marathon, thinking it would be about the same. While it is easy to compare and contrast the two because they were still fresh on mind, but that is not what will do. I enjoyed running them. This race allowed me just to […]
