Wow, the race calendar is still in flux. New races replacing races that were also new, but were postponed. I feel liie a juggler in a circus ring. So the Garmin and Delaware Running Festiveal races have been moved. Updates on those later. But, I added Vermont and South Dakota on to my states of […]
Oh wow, I just realized with the holidays coming, arriving and leaving, I completely forgot to post the recap of this race. So let’s rewind the clock to December 13, 2020. Early 4:30AM start because my shuttle to the start line was at 5:30. I walked the three miles there and then we were driven […]
I think that this race could’ve been more physically distanced, however I ran with my buff in place for the first three miles as the running field became less dense. I became dehydrated around the sixth mile (the temps were likely in the low 70F°s). Foot cramps started to slow me down because I forgot […]
September 26th, 2021 OMFG I got selected! I’m over here in shock! I’m going to be a Berlin Legend! Yay! 🥳 Oh snap! Now I’ve got to learn some German.
Oh man, I was not prepared! But, I already knew that. The hills were disrespectful, but I took most of them on without much challenge. The Daylight Savings Time change messed me up. I thought I had calculated properly, but things didn’t quite flow like my plan. I missed the 6:30am bag check cut off […]
Where to begin with this escapade gone wrong… The morning of: Certain circumstances didn’t help with rest or time for this race, but perhaps more on that later. My Airbnb was only 2 miles from the race, so I opted for a rideshare service that I had to give up on and took the Metro. […]
Ooooooh, this race was cold as ice. had time for a short run today. Even at the day’s start temperature in the high 30s°F, I’m glad that I didn’t need a full marathon this race. Because of Airbnb fiascos from three properties and three hours of sleep in the previous 48 hours (I know, the […]
Are you friggin’ serious? I got a one-second PR? So while I’m elated to claim three straight years of my marathon PR at this race, I’m still a bit disappointed. The hip did not want my greatness today. Mile nineteen was the beginning of the end. I was set to get a nice PR, but […]
We did the damn thing! I’ve been saying whatever it takes and that was the rule for the day. When you’ve only had time to train for a half marathon and a full marathon is on your plate, what do you do? You suck it up and eat those miles. That was hard. After the […]
What an amazing first meetup for us tonight. It was a joy getting to know everyone’s journey into the running world. Looking forward to making the 2019 Freep Ambassador team ROCK! In the end, with all of the challenges of getting into town, the experience was absolutely rewarding. The Sporting Statues Project A. Thomas Schomberg […]
