She Rocks the Trails 25K – Race Report!

June 16, 2013 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

If 2013 had gone according to plan, I would not have even run the She Rocks this year, after the terrible, awful, no good race I had last year.  But, as it turned out, I’m super happy that I came back for the second annual, because it was probably my best and most favorite race […]

Confessions of a Newbie Trail Runner

June 23, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

I am nothing if not pigheaded and stubborn doggedly determined.  After last week’s less-than-stellar showing at the She Rocks the Trails race, I decided that trail running is my new “thing.”  I can and will and must turn myself into the sort of runner who can go up and down steep hills, leap over rocks […]

AR 50–Rabbit Report

April 10, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

“Here comes P with her cotton tail…  Hoppin’ down the AR50 trail…”  Technically, my title was pacer, but what with the cute song, the tie-in with Easter and the fact that this was a totally “hare-brained” idea, I’m going with a rabbit theme here.  Work with me. IronHubs decided last year – somewhere in the […]
