On September 20th I ran the Navy – Air Force Half Marathon. Oh geez that was a full month ago… well better late than never. I’d first heard about this race from a short blurb in Runner’s World magazine. After doing some research I decided to give it a try as part of a longer training run leading up to MCM. Packet pick up was at the DC Armory, which is always a… Read More
The Asheville Marathon and Half Marathon at the Biltmore Estate takes place in March. This year I had the pleasure of being able to complete the race as an ambassador. My husband and I made the 8 hour drive from Washington DC to Asheville, NC the Thursday before the race. We’d heard such great things about the area and wanted to be able to explore a bit before the race. Thankfully, the… Read More
The Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon and 10K took place the weekend after Memorial Day. My bestie and I decided to make a weekend out of the event. So we booked a hotel room walking distance from the race on Main Street. I met up with my fellow Race Ambassadors on Friday evening for some chit chat and delicious bites are BAROAK After the meet up, I headed towards Level to meet up with… Read More
So I only realized this morning how close we are to the Asheville Half Marathon! It’s like around the corner. People it’s 6 weeks away! Thankfully I have received the running all clear. But still…. 6 weeks. Usually in the weeks leading up to a half marathon I have a strategy. Well it occured to me I have no strategy. Yep. None. Well, I guess I have a semblance of a strategy…….

When I first heard about this race a few years ago, I couldn’t wait until the day that I would finally get to run it. I convinced my hubby and our friends (Mr. and Mrs. RockyMtnPearls) to make a mini vacay out of the whole event. We did the expo the day before and were all ready come race day. On Friday evening we stayed out late for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas… Read More
I don’t even know where to begin writing this recap. So let’s start chronologically at the beginning. Friday night I hurried home, grabbed the hubby and we hit the road post work to head to Baltimore. I snagged a Priceline hotel room for the night before the race to make both our lives easier. Turns out it was a solid investment. We made it to the hotel in about an hour and… Read More
Looks like I’m going back to Baltimore this Saturday to run the Baltimore Half Marathon and the FINAL LEG of the King Crab Challenge. I am no stranger to this race and completed the half in 2013, to read more about it check it out here. It is a great race, the crowds are fantastic, lots of volunteers and who wouldn’t love an Under Armour premium. I will admit a lot of… Read More
Alright runners! It’s August. If you are anything like me you are gearing up for some upcoming races, but you’re planning one step ahead. Planning your race schedule early is a great way to save some money and ensure that you get into the races that you really want. I’m a huge fan of early planning. Mainly because the earlier out you register for a race the more you save and therefore… Read More
Looking for a smaller more locally oriented race that still has great course support and crowds? Well you should probably check out the Frederick Half Marathon. I originally signed up for the Frederick Half Marathon because it’s nearby my parents house and it was part of the King Crab Challenge. The King Crab Challenge is a 3 race challenge that includes the Frederick Half Marathon, Baltimore 10 miler, and Baltimore Marathon/half Marathon. In… Read More
Last night it occurred to me while updating my shuffle that I have certain songs I prefer strongly over others. When running I often look forward to these songs on my shuffle and I’ve come to fondly refer to them as my “Power Songs!” They give me a boost and I’ll push through for the song! For the sake of condensing this post I’ll keep it to my top 5, which is… Read More
