I got into the race on a second chance email from Nike after I had already registered for the NJ half marathon the following weekend, but I couldn't pass it up. I went into the race knowing that I would take it easy since my goal was to run for time in NJ. The race "Expotique" and packet pickup was a in a tent set up along the Potomac just down the street from Nike Georgetown. Our bib numbers were assigned to us when we picked up our packets, so no personalized bibs for this race. ...
MouseAdventure is coming up on Sunday, May 19th (just a couple more weeks!) here's your chance to work out and warm up before the event! As part of the weekend, I will be leading an informal meet-up run/walk on Saturday, May 18th around the Disneyland Resort. It will have been a little over a month since the Boston Marathon bombings, so I'd like to dedicate this to those who were killed and injured there. Completely optional: Please consider wearing blue and yellow (the colors ...

And not only did I miss the Portland Half Marathon on Sunday I’ve now missed a week of marathon training! Now what do I do? Well, according to a variety of web sources, all is not lost. Running Planet.com suggest if ...
Well, I have to say week two went MUCH better than week one even with all the associated work and school crazies! Although I will never be a fan of using the indoor hamster wheel for a workout, the opportunity to take advantage of a very nice hotel gym is a benefit that cannot be overlooked or downplayed. It sure beats running at O’Hare Airport and/or running in the dark in downtown Chicago. And I did get to play outdoors on Saturday in the beautiful Pacific Northwest fall weather. ...
