St. Jude Marathon race report

December 5, 2011

It still hasn’t sunk in. But it better, because I’m doing this again! Short version: great race, exceptional organization, and I’m probably spoiled for life with the exceptional service from the directors. I finished. And I did it before they closed the course. Long version: I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Even if [...]

Racing in the Rockies—Frisco, Colorado 2011

June 11, 2011

This is my second time to do this race, but this year I went for the half marathon. This is one of those that advertise as a “flat and fast 10K, but not really fast for the half”. Very accurate description. I remember the 10K being tough because we had not been in elevation long [...]

2010 Twisted Ankle Half Marathon—or….What was I thinking?

May 16, 2010

I survived and even lived after to tell about it. Short version: It’s every bit as tough as people say. It’s every bit as rewarding to finish. Long Version: What in the hell was I thinking? As the wonderful RD was explaining all the details I found myself rather scared witless. All I wanted to [...]

RACE DAY!!!!

April 24, 2010

Well, the weather was supposed to be BAD today, but it wasn’t supposed to start until around noon. FAIL! We are lined up (all 900 of us) and ready to go when the Mayor announces that storms are a little over an hour away so we had better scoot fast! The wind was already blowing [...]
