You know how some weekends are mellow and lazy and you lay around in your pajamas and read magazines? Yeah, this was so totally not that weekend! We were jam-packed, wall-to-wall racing the last three days and it was pretty awesome! The Kiddos Friday afternoon/evening took us down to Turlock for the Pitman Distance Wars […]
Davis Stampede Half Marathon 2015 – Race Report!
Good morning and happy Monday! This race report is being brought to you from Cloud Nine, where I expect to reside for at least a couple more days. You! Guys! This was one of the best races I’ve ever run and I just can’t stop being happy about it! As you well know, I went […]
California International Marathon 2014 – Race Report!
Alternate title: How to Run a Marathon with Pretty Much Zero Training. The short answer, of course, is, “Kids, don’t try this at home,” but the long answer is much more exciting! Read on… When last we left our intrepid heroine (me!), she was contemplating race goals and bemoaning the near total lack of training […]
Elk Grove Turkey Trot (Courage Run) 2014 – A Much Longer Race Report than Necessary!
I haven’t run a Turkey Trot since 2008. In fact, I haven’t run a 10K since 2011. And even more in fact, this was only my fifth 10K ever! Since my only experience with 10Ks was back in the day when I used to be so very much faster than I am now, it is […]
The Summer of Suck (and a Belated Race Report)
So a couple of weeks ago, I ran this 5K and it was pretty awesome, but I totally didn’t blog about it. Oops! Happy to be finished! I ran it with a client of mine, pacing her to a huge PR, which was very exciting and very nearly puke-worthy (for her). She did such a […]
Davis MOO-nlight Half Marathon – Race Report!
As part of my “Race More to Race Better” training strategy, I have signed up to race pretty much any distance that falls on a day I can actually participate. I work six mornings a week, including holidays, so that really limits my choices to Sunday races, or – ta-da! – a Saturday evening half […]
Superheroes 5K – Race Report!
I ran a 5K yesterday! What? That doesn’t sound like a big deal to you? I agree, it’s not exactly stop the presses material, except for the fact that I really don’t run a lot of 5Ks. In fact, yesterday was the first time since September 2011 that I’ve toed the line at that distance, […]
Avenue of the Vines Half Marathon Race Report
Call me crazy – “Crazy!” – but I’m not really a fan of the half marathon distance, in spite of the fact that I’ve now run two of them in the last two months. For me, it’s too long to run fast, but also too short to run at a leisurely pace. I’d much rather […]
Finding My Limits – the Gold Rush 50K Race Report
Astute readers will have looked at that title and thought, “Hey, I thought you were running a 100K!” Yeah. Not so much. UltraIronHubs has this thing he says to me after a race doesn’t go exactly like I had hoped: Win or learn, there is no lose. And the good news is that I learned […]
Miners Revenge/That Damn Run – Long Run Report?
Well, it coulda-woulda-shoulda been a race report, had I not totally screwed up and missed the sign-up deadline! But, in a fun little turn of events, my long run on Sunday gets to serve as an incredibly belated race report from last October – hooray! And a bonus spectator report, because UIH was smart enough […]
