As previously mentioned, my sister Angi and I had this idea of running a race together since she started running a few years back. The thing holding us back in the past was that she lives in Germany and I in the US. This made our idea a bit more difficult. But this year it [...]

It’s been a while…there is a reason, but more about that in a bit. I ran my 15th half marathon last weekend. Humidity was 100% and the temperature at the time of the start 65 degrees. I was kinda hoping for a PR, after getting one in Athens (Ohio). But, I haven’t been running much lately, [...]

Posted: April 2, 2012 in 1/2 Marathon, 13.1, Personal Record, Race Report, Run, Running, Running w/friends, Strong RunI entered the race just for fun, to be with friends who love to run like I do (most of them a bit faster than I am). Turns out the stars were alligned just right and a PR was bound to happen. The hubby drove to Athens (Ohio) with me to cheer me on. That [...]

“Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you will land among the stars.” – Les Brown Well, we all know that I am slower than snail’s pace and more than likely will never be able to run Boston. But, after running the half in Mississippi two weeks ago, the idea of running a [...]
Mississippi Blues Marathon (Half)
Posted: January 13, 2012 in 1/2 Marathon, 13.1, Heart Rate Training, Hills, Race Report, RunningA friend of mine lives near Jackson Mississippi and after plans fell through to run the 1/2 marathon out there 2 years ago, this year we finally managed the trip. Driving just under 800 miles one way was actually a lot of fun. It helped that my husband and I get a long and we [...]
The night before the race was a restless one. You know, where you toss and turn and look at the clock to see how many more hours you get to sleep. The night didn’t start with many hours to go to begin with. I believe when I headed to bed I had 5 hours and [...]
8/24 – Had a very good 5 mile run on the treadmill at home. 8/25 – Ran 4 miles at work and then another 4 miles (wanted to run 5, but ran out of steam) at home on the treadmill. 8/26 – Biked 9 miles at work and then lifted weights. 8/27 – Ran 4 [...]
Ok, so it seems (at least to me) that writing a race report about your 9th ½ marathon is like taking pictures of your 4th child. It is something that’s just not high on the priority list. But here it is: The alarm didn’t go off. The husband told me that he set it the [...]
Dash for Donations 1/2 Marathon (Course PR)
Posted: July 26, 2008 in 1/2 Marathon, Long Run, Race Report, RunningComments: One of the things I forgot about this 1/2marathon was that we ran 2 loops of the course and one section of that loop is an out an back (and hilly). Yuck! Hopefully I will have forgotten that by next year! The run overall was good. I tried starting out slow, but mile 3 [...]
