Every year since 2007, on 4th of July, I have been running my town's 4 miler. I haven't missed a year yet and I don't plan too anytime soon. This year I got home at 1am from my trip to Colorado and woke up at 7am to run the race at 8:45am. Between the time… Continue reading Freedom 4 miler & 4th of July Weekend

Negative Splitting for the first time EVER!
Last Thursday before I left for Colorado and in the midst of a power outage I ran a very tiny 5k, and for the first time in my life (that I am aware of) I ran negative splits. One of my former college coaches hosts small 5k races every Thursday night in the summer at… Continue reading Negative Splitting for the first time EVER!
Run 4 Ricky 5k 6/13/15
A few weeks ago I ran the Run 4 Ricky 5k in Buena, NJ. Since then I haven't blogged a whole lot. My quarter of grad school came to an end last week which kept me extremely busy as I had a lot to do in a little bit of time and now I currently… Continue reading Run 4 Ricky 5k 6/13/15
No Frills Just Thrills Summer Race Series (3.65 miles)
Last week I was determined to race. I had this strong desire to run a race every day and the only thing I could think about was running races and getting faster. I would have raced every day if I could, seriously. That desire has since passed. I still want to run races but I… Continue reading No Frills Just Thrills Summer Race Series (3.65 miles)
SPARC 5K (19:53)
Saturday I ran the SPARC 5K. SPARC stands for substance abusive prevention and resistance community. The organization focuses on providing awareness to help prevent substance abuse in youth as well as to educate youth about substance abuse. This is a cause I feel strongly about. This race was close to my house, so close that I… Continue reading SPARC 5K (19:53)
I think this is a race recap…..Sue Cardamone Scholarship Run “18:50”
Thursday night I ran a 5K, but lets back track for a few hundred words...... Tuesday morning when I found out about this race I was very tired and overwhelmed because I hadn't slept more than 3 hours due to grad school and working late. The previous weekend was rough with several migraines and migraine symptoms… Continue reading I think this is a race recap…..Sue Cardamone Scholarship Run “18:50”
First race of 2015
I'm not a smart runner. That doesn't mean I'm not educated about running or unqualified to help other runners improve, it just means that when it comes to my own running I make idiotic decisions. I do things I would never ever suggest anyone else do. I do them mostly because I am impatient and… Continue reading First race of 2015
Rothman 8k race recap
Saturday morning at 7:30am I ran the Rothman 8k. It was 19• when I woke up at 5:45am. Have I ever mentioned that I don't like the cold or the morning?? I did not want to get out of my warm bed but I did and I'm glad I did. Not every race goes as… Continue reading Rothman 8k race recap
Cooper Norcross Run the Bridge 10k AKA The Ben Franklin Bridge Run recap
Sunday for the 4th consecutive year I ran the bridge run. Every year I say I'll never do this race again because it is cold but I do it anyway. It's one of those races where I feel like I can really measure my progress from year to year. It's a race where I can… Continue reading Cooper Norcross Run the Bridge 10k AKA The Ben Franklin Bridge Run recap
USATFNJ XC8k race recap (WARNING!!! Gross feet photos included)
I can not even recap this race with words. This picture says it all. This is the back of my heel. This happened while I was racing due to the $8 spikes I've been bragging about. DO NOT BUY $8 SPIKES no matter how tempting of a deal it sounds like. I wore these spikes… Continue reading USATFNJ XC8k race recap (WARNING!!! Gross feet photos included)
