Billy’s Dogtown Half Marathon Race Recap

February 27, 2012

As many of you know, I started running a little over a year ago as a surprise Christmas present to Janae. Little did I know at the time, I would grow to really enjoy it. I ran my first half marathon last October and finished in 1:45 after having to stop several times in an effort to relieve some sharp arch pains. I took a couple of months off of running after that race and so I was ready to ...

1/2 Marathon Recap!

February 26, 2012

We all had a blast at the Dog Town Half Marathon. I can’t even think of any complaints about this race besides the fact that they didn’t offer gummy worms and twizzlers at the aid stations (do any races do that? Please let me know so that I can register right this second). We got down to St. George about 30 minutes before the expo ended (look at us living on the edge) on Friday night and we waited in ...

Going back in time: Running…

December 15, 2011

So here is the deal: My brain is fried from grading all day long and I really can’t think of a thing to write about unless you wanted to hear all about my anger at the people that created the ‘serving size’ on the back of my king size symphony bar….lies, all lies. Who really shares their symphony bar with 4 other people? I added a race recap tab at the top of the blog and as I was looking ...

Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas: Post-injury PR.

December 5, 2011

This is how I feel about the Las Vegas Half: I had fun. I felt strong. I had a post-injury PR. If you are a new reader, I am coming back from a femoral stress fracture followed by shin splints. PS I absolutely loved my Chocolate Milk Refuel Gear…..the built in bra of that lulu top was the best ever (I wore a sports bra too)! I am hooked and it is now in rotation for my outfit of ...

NYC MARATHON RECAP!!!

November 7, 2011

I don’t even know where to start with the recap of this race. Either I am still on cloud nine and high on endorphins or I am so exhausted from going to bed at 2:30 this morning and waking up at 4 to make my morning flight that I am at a loss for words, either way I will probably start tearing up and telling the strangers next to me about my experience @ the NYCM as I type this. ...

Half Marathon Recap!

October 29, 2011

What exactly were we for our Halloween Half-Marathon? PINATAS! Billy and my uncle were the pinata hitters:) They had blind folds and bats and don’t worry they only hit us softly…… This costume is what I spent 8 hours of my life constructing this past week and it was worth every second for the second place prize of best costume. Filled with candy…they know me too well. The morning started at 4:45 as I jumped out of bed because I ...

Century Race Recap

September 18, 2011

Remember how I couldn’t look behind me or drink my watterbottle while I rode my bike….not anymore, I mastered BOTH skills throughout my century yesterday. Let’s start from the start. I woke up grumpy. It was rainy and cold outside and I had no desire to workout for the next rest of my life, by myself (Billy had his LSAT class so he couldn’t come) and in the cold and wind. I ate two bowls of Frosted Flakes and a ...
