Hi guys! Remember me? As I was sitting here contemplating half marathon no. 9 TOMORROW, I realized I never posted a recap of the Smuttynose Half Marathon last month! Of course, now that 4+ weeks have gone by, my memory is a little foggy, but I’ll give it my best shot. The good thing is […]
Race Recap: Boston’s Run to Remember Half Marathon
On Sunday, I ran my seventh half marathon, and my third Boston’s Run to Remember race. It wasn’t my best time, nor was it my worst. Yet in so many ways, this was such a totally different race experience for me. I know I’ve said in the past in the days leading up to any […]
My Kiddo’s New PR {Special Guest Post}

ZOOMA Cape Cod 10K Recap

I Heart Fall Running
There’s a chill in the air. Candy corn is everywhere. I’m prepping to stock up on my mums. And I have a race, like, every weekend. Yep, it must be fall. ‘Tis the season of pumpkin everything (beer! lattes!), Canadian Thanksgiving, football, apple picking, hoodies, jeans and boots… …and — my personal favorite — running tights […]
