The Lucky Run 7K 2015 – Race Report

March 10, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

I was excited about The Lucky Run from the minute I read about it on the Tour de Fit website.  It pretty much has everything I’m looking for in a race – fun theme, not too difficult course, and the ultimate prize:  an automatic PR for a new distance.  Boom! There was the small wrinkle […]

My Wild Weekend of Racing

March 9, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

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 […]

Cool Moon 10 Mile–Best! Race! Ever!

August 5, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Let me give away the ending by telling you that this was not my fastest 10 miles – not by a longshot! – but it was easily one of my favorite races of all time.  Why?  Well, lemme tell you all about it: Our story actually begins many, many months ago when UltraIronHubs was trolling […]

DU for FUN #1 Race Report

June 5, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

The Lead-Up After the WTH, I promised myself I would take plenty of time off to recover and rest and hopefully prevent those nasty I-got-back-to-it-too-fast injuries I’m so famous for.  So I took a few days off and then eased back into swimming and only the tiniest bit of running and biking.  I was relaxed […]

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

June 2, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

IronHubs and I took the kiddos on a mini vacation for the last few days.  We were only about three hours from home, so it wasn’t exotic or anything, but it sure was nice to get away.  Vacations are sort of like Christmas decorations for me:  the only thing I like better than going on […]
