This can’t work like a normal, blow-by-blow race report like I’ve written in the past; it was just too long, and too much went on to try to tell the story from beginning to end. I was so exhausted by the end of it that the details were fleeting even then, so I’ll try to [...]

More of a “race” report, really. I went into the race knowing I didn’t want to deplete myself, and that my knee really needed a very low-key training run. Also, the temperature was around 75 degrees at the start, and it was very humid due to storms the day before. (Evidence: our neighbor’s tree.) I [...]

One thing about doing a race for a training run: you get photos. You also get evidence that, despite your efforts to the contrary, you are clenching your opposite fist when you carry something balled up in your opposite hand. I’ll probably take the time at aid stations at Devil’s Lake to stash the arm [...]

That. Was. FUN! We got back in last night, and I am still riding the high from the weekend’s events. Things went perfectly according to plan! I went into this race viewing it as a training run, not a hill on which to die, and that’s what I got out of it. I felt awesome [...]

Okay, I went out too fast; let’s get that out of the way first. For the future, when I do the marathon+-length training runs in a race setting, I NEED to find somebody going my pace and STICK with them, because I obviously can’t be trusted. I managed to hold it longer than I thought [...]

Good friends run with you. Very good friends go running with you even when they aren’t runners and, in fact, hate running. When I told Alysia I was coming to visit, and I asked how far away a particular Thanksgiving Day 5K was from her place, I was gobsmacked when she told me to sign [...]

Chris took this video at the Expo the night before the marathon! “Three-fifty!” Wow, innocence.

Oh. My. Where do I start?! I ran the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday, October 25th, and in return, the Marine Corps Marathon chewed me up and spat me on the ground. I had very high hopes for the race. It was a gorgeous day! I had met up the night before at the Expo [...]

Hey, did you guys know this weekend was the Worldwide Festival of Races? You can still register and participate if you want, I believe! Last year, I ran the Festival’s 10K, but this year, the half-marathon lined up quite nicely with my taper for Marine Corps. Like last year, I ran alone – or, rather, [...]

Since Sean wasn’t there to take pictures this year (miss you guys!), I was pleased to see that there was at least one decent shot from yesterday. Running in the USA has over 500 photos, and I saw a bunch of people I know, so if you ran yesterday, it’s definitely worth the clicking!
