United Airlines NYC Half Marathon RECAP My watch stopped after mile six for some odd reason. It was right after crossing the Manhattan Bridge. So my Garmin gave me 12.1 miles. Very odd. I’m still counting this is 13.1. Anyway, on to the race. After a confusing wave start, we were off. Somehow I always […]
Happy Medal Monday! I was not expecting these to come today. And one, I wasn’t expecting at all. Yet here they are! The patch is for the NYRR Run Four Out of Six program for 2018. My patch collection continues to grow. Maybe I’ll put them all on a jacket one day. The plaque is […]
Race 13.1 Baltimore Inner Harbor – Completed! Wow, this was my first race in Baltimore, believe it or not. With the course rimming the harbor, we got that extra special breeze from the water. The course was generally flat with lots of turns as you run along the harbor front. It is always great […]

However, the history behind this race, past and present, increased the symbolic tradition for so many people. This event was so full. Full of emotions, energy and empathy.

The Detroit Free Press/Chemical Bank Marathon was challenging with the frigid cold 34°F start that didn’t warm much above 41°F when I finished. I was prepared to take pictures when I crossed the Ambassador Bridge into Canada but refrained when I remembered that I planned to PR this race. So, on I went, mile after […]
Staten Island Half RECAP! Happy Medal Monday! A very challenging half marathon. This was my first time running this course. The hills were what I was concerned about. Two of them bit me near the top. My other challenge (which has been off and on during the summer) was that my right foot started cramping […]
