Even when we say that we’re just hoping to finish strong most runners do have a (potentially super secret) time goal in mind. For some races though it’s all about that one time goal like when you’re looking to Boston Qualify. It is only natural to have a goal in mind after spending literally months... Continue Reading →
This year the half at Bluenose was actually my bonus post training season race. Even though that sounds like a humble brag it’s not, it’s just been a crazy running year. My mom has been sorta kinda toying with the idea of a half for a while now and then you know, Covid happened. Lucky... Continue Reading →
You might have been expecting the last of the training updates today but there’s not much to say, I went running once, it was fine. Instead I’m here to tell you all about my very first marathon! This race recap is going to be a little different, maybe not all that useful to others and... Continue Reading →
This was the first in person race I’ve done since the pandemic started. There have been just a few in my area and some that even happened last fall but before now I just wasn’t ready. Specifically I definitely wanted to be double vaxed before I participated. When the email came through for this one... Continue Reading →

Don’t worry I’m as upset about missing a post as you are! This is the third year... Continue Reading →
This race has been on my radar for a few years now but I’ve been busy with other things. Honestly I love a good campy experience no matter how it happens. I also love a good costume and a reason to dress up as a grown up. Check and check. Truthfully it’s far from home,... Continue Reading →
I talked just a little bit about this race in my last half training update but that was just a little teaser to get you to read this post. And it worked! See I’m really smart. I signed up for this one way, way back when I was feeling all itchy to race. I was... Continue Reading →
Anxiety is a bit of a buzzword right now and dealing with it is a big part of many people’s day to day life. Whether you suffer from anxiety day to day or not you might get more than a little anxious on race day. Even if anxiety is something you effectively manage on your... Continue Reading →
Races are all fun right? I’d be a terrible critic for movies, food, races and pretty much everything else. For the most part I just like it all! I almost never say something wasn’t good, well except some of the movies honey watches but pretty much every one with Russian gangsters follows the same plot... Continue Reading →
Putting it out there right off the bat, I haven’t done every distance out there. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t that serious a conversation. That said the 10k distance is clearly superior than any other distance you could possibly choose to run. Which is to say in a lot of ways the 10k is my... Continue Reading →
