Race recaps have been scare this year. It's difficult to write about things that aren't enjoyable, which has been the case for a lot of the races I've run this year. Now that I am done with all of the races I'd planned to run, aside from Marathon 2 Marathon, I have finally been able… Continue reading The lost races of 2019

Sequoia Glen 5k & The Grand River Gallop
I am running The Grand River Charity Race Series again this year and I'm already 2 races in. I've been debating if I even wanted to recap these races in great detail because both of them felt dreadful due to my running streak, which has finally come to an end. The last 30ish days of… Continue reading Sequoia Glen 5k & The Grand River Gallop
The Hogback Hustle (21:25) & The Cheatin’ Woodchuck Chase (32:44)
The final two races of The Grand River Valley Charity Race Series were The Hogback Hustle and The Cheatin' Woodchuck Chase. If you read my previous post, the lost races of spring 2018, you might remember that I committed to running all six of the races in this series back in March, and I took… Continue reading The Hogback Hustle (21:25) & The Cheatin’ Woodchuck Chase (32:44)
The lost races of spring 2018
Even though I haven't been keeping up with race recaps, I have run some races. None of the races went particularly well, none of them were goal races, none of them were races I had 'trained' for. They were just races I've run because, well, they were convenient and part of a race series I'd… Continue reading The lost races of spring 2018
Grand River Gallop 5K (21:25)
Last weekend I ran the Grand River Gallop, the 2nd race in the local race series I'm participating in. For those of you who remember, I ran the Grand River Gallop last year too. I felt like I was risking everything when I stood on the starting line, more specifically I felt like I was… Continue reading Grand River Gallop 5K (21:25)
Sequoia Glen 5k: starting at the bottom of the fitness mountain
After being injured for the latter part of 2017 I've been slowly increasing my mileage. Things have been going well and I've been scoping out races to run as a baseline while knowing that my fitness isn't where I'd like it to be. I have to start somewhere and running a race is the only… Continue reading Sequoia Glen 5k: starting at the bottom of the fitness mountain
Hogback Hustle 5K (21:23)
On Saturday I finally decided to run a road race after taking about 2 months away from racing to recover from the Boston Marathon and Ragnar Zion. The Hogback Hustle is a local 5k named after the Hogback mountain range, which actually caught fire 5 days before this race. Before the race I set a… Continue reading Hogback Hustle 5K (21:23)
Grand River Gallop 5K (20:41)
On April Fool's Day I ran a race. This was my first race since the Philadelphia Marathon in November and my first race in Colorado. I figured I should run a race before going to Boston, so I did. It seemed like good idea to know where I stood when I put my racing shoes on at a big… Continue reading Grand River Gallop 5K (20:41)
Stop Childhood Pain 5K or AMPS 5k (20:26)
Last week Liz (link to her recap here) messaged me to ask if I wanted to run a 5k with her. Of course I said yes. Had I not, you wouldn't be reading this right now! Also, I wouldn't have made that lame joke.... The idea of racing with Liz excited me so Saturday morning I pried myself out… Continue reading Stop Childhood Pain 5K or AMPS 5k (20:26)

I'll start with some facts: The last 5K I ran was on July 16, 2015 The last race I ran was the Philadelphia marathon in November I only started doing workouts at the end of February My training has only been consistent for the last 4 weeks. By consistent I mean running 40+ miles a week,… Continue reading Adrenaline 5k (20:12)
