Saint George Marathon (October 2017)

October 15, 2017

The Saint George Marathon is reputed to be a fast, downhill course, so my plan going into the race was to attempt a sub 3:25 PR. I’d been ‘practicing’ a faster pace with my previous four marathons—trying to run faster than 7:50 minute miles for as long as possible before having to slow down. I … More Saint George Marathon (October 2017)

Sundance to Spearfish Marathon (September 2017)

October 15, 2017

I’ve joined a number of virtual running organizations since starting my 50 state journey two years ago, but my favorite is the 50sub4 Marathon Club. After running The Chicago Marathon in 2015, Jim and I decided that it would be ‘fun’ to try and run a marathon in every state.

University of Okajobi Marathon (July 2017)

October 15, 2017

Signing up for a July marathon in Iowa is a fairly stupid idea, and I wasn’t 100% sure I was going through with this thing until I boarded my plane. I did it, though, and rounded out a year of Boston Qualifying marathons—one each month since August 2016. The University of Okajobi Marathon is a … More University of Okajobi Marathon (July 2017)

Grandma’s Marathon (June 2017)

October 15, 2017

Grandma’s Marathon has been one of those iconic midwestern races that I’ve heard nothing but good things about, and I’ve been looking forward to my trip to Duluth. Jim signed up for this one as well, so the kids stayed with the grandparents and we were able to spend a lovely weekend in Minnesota together; … More Grandma’s Marathon (June 2017)
