Frederick Half Marathon 2018 Race Report
The Plan There’s always a starting point to every story, and for this one, I can pinpoint it to a cool December Saturday morning in downtown Frederick. After the Byron Run, I had determined that December would be a base-building month, and on this day, Louis, Evan, and I were meeting up for our weekly… Continue reading Frederick Half Marathon 2018 Race Report
2017 Recap
Apparently, I never posted my 2017 recap that I started writing over winter break. Better late than never, I suppose! Enjoy. The “Week in Running” posts came to an unfortunate end after I suffered my first real running injury in early August – the result of following up a phenomenal 20 mile run (my first… Continue reading 2017 Recap
This Week in Running: 7/31/17 – 8/6/17
This week promises to be an interesting week because Saturday is the Frederick Women’s Distance Festival 5K, a race that my running club holds every year in August. I’m looking forward to it because it is going to force me to get some speedwork done, although I do slightly lament that it will be taking… Continue reading This Week in Running: 7/31/17 – 8/6/17
This Week in Running: 7/24/17 – 7/30/17
As if my lengthy Strava activity titles aren’t already enough, I’ve decided to start writing a weekly blog post to recap my training and share whatever thoughts I’m having about running at the time. This is mostly because I have a lot of feelings about this sport and I need a place to dump them… Continue reading This Week in Running: 7/24/17 – 7/30/17
Frederick Half Marathon 2017 Race Report
Background I guess it all started back in December, the weekend after the Byron 10 Mile Run. The 2016 running year was over for me, and I had decided that I was going to take the entire month of December easy so that I could build up a mileage base where I was consistently and comfortably… Continue reading Frederick Half Marathon 2017 Race Report
Goodloe Byron 10 Mile Run Race Report
This past spring, I ran quite a few disappointing races, trying desperately to hit various goal times and loading myself up with a lot of pressure before the start of each event. Despite being filled with wide-eyed hope every time I registered for my next race, my efforts turned out to be in vain for most… Continue reading Goodloe Byron 10 Mile Run Race Report
Reflections on 2016
I’m just about at the tail end of my 2016 running season. My final race of the year is coming up this Saturday: the Goodloe Byron 10 Mile Run. It’s questionable if I will even end up racing this one; I distinctly remember hating every second of it in 2015 and missing out on all… Continue reading Reflections on 2016
On running, goals, and living a double life
These days, it feels like I just need a place for my thoughts. I’ve been a journaler for most of my life, but I haven’t written much since I got married. I suspect that may be because I typically tell my husband just about everything that I do, think, or feel, and that has generally… Continue reading On running, goals, and living a double life
Carroll Manor Roaring Lion 5K Race Report
It seems almost a bit funny to write a race report for a race of a mere 3.1 miles, but the Carroll Manor Elementary School Roaring Lion 5K was perhaps one of the most exciting races I’ve run in a while. I enjoy a lengthy, detailed race report, but for an event that was over… Continue reading Carroll Manor Roaring Lion 5K Race Report
