Fiddy (the Rock’n River 50-Miler Race Report)

October 15, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

So. On Saturday I ran fifty miles. All in a row, without (too much) stopping. That was pretty crazy, in case you were wondering. But it was also really amazing and awesome and inspiring. You’ll probably want a drink and a snack for this race report, since it’s just about as long as my race, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ketchup

June 20, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Don’t worry, I’m not actually going to talk about ketchup, or catsup (like my dad says).  I just figured that since I fell off the blogging planet for the last nine months that maybe I should say a little something about where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing.  Not having a baby, thank goodness, […]

She Rocks the Trails 25K–Race Report!

June 17, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

I’ve been running for several years now, and I think I’ve pretty much got the hang of it.  I’ve run quite a few races and had such a great racing season in 2011 that I PR’d pretty much everything I ran.  I guess you could say I was getting a little confident in my abilities, […]
