Sunday was a journey. The 26.2 miles I ran along the Pacific Coast on California’s Highway 1 made for one of the most challenging marathon courses I’ve ever completed—the Big Sur Marathon. Each mile was filled with not only out-of-this-world beauty but also a series of never-ending ups and downs through the mountains. It all […]
Do you run with your phone, or maybe even another camera like a GoPro? I didn’t before, but now I do (on most runs). I like to capture images (still, and occasionally video), whenever the occasion arises. You never know when inspiration might strike, so I figure it’s good to be prepared! Here are some […]
It’s been far too long since I’ve blogged here. And I’m not going to make any excuses. I simply haven’t prioritized blogging amidst the competing priorities of life we all face. Monday morning, as I put on a new pair of running shoes, I thought to myself, “How can I change things up and step […]
Date: April 12, 2015 Miles: 13.1 Weather: Clear, 52-55 Overview: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon (and full marathon) returned to Raleigh April 12, following last year’s inaugural event. I decided to run the RNR Raleigh Half the second year in a row following Meb’s appearance at Runologie in January, where I was inspired in […]
So here they are, my four running resolutions for 2012! 1. Run at least four half marathons in different towns. 2. Log a minimum of 15 miles each week. 3. Be more active in social running clubs. 4. Sign up for the NYC Mararhon and RUN IT if I get in. Wish me luck!
Finally, it arrived! After meeting up for the pre-race pasta dinner with fellow runners at One Market the night before, I got to sleep early prior to the main event. My hotel near Union Square was great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as long as there’s a decent rate available (Hotel Monaco – […]
I registered for the 2010 San Francisco Half Marathon back in January. There are actually two half marathon routes, with the first being the most popular since it includes the road bed of the Golden Gate Bridge. Due to its popularity, the first half often sells out far in advance and this was once again […]
Well, I’ve managed to log 182 miles to date in 2010. Needless to say, I’m off my goal – in large part due to the crazy weather we’ve had in North Carolina (read: lots of snow and ice…go figure)! Here’s to a productive Spring!
I ran a quick 5 miler yesterday on New Year’s Day and a little over 3 today due to brutal Northwest winds accompanying an arctic air mass that moved into NC overnight! At least my pace is picking up (shaved about 30 seconds a mile off)! I’m looking for a good mile countdown to show […]
My first resolution of the New Year relates to running…surprised? I didn’t think so! 🙂 Well, I’ve decided to set a goal of running at least 2010 miles to mark the arrival of a new decade. How far is 2010 miles? It’s like driving to NYC from Raleigh, making a u-turn…then…rinse and repeat! That’s right, […]
