Philadelphia Marathon (November 2018)

February 3, 2019

Pennsylvania is a state with a number of really great marathons, but I’m happy that I chose Philadelphia for my BQ effort. The race promised to be fast and scenic, and I feel like this was an accurate representation. Furthermore, my trip to Philadelphia was really everything that I wanted my New York experience to … More Philadelphia Marathon (November 2018)

New York City Marathon (November 2018)

December 17, 2018

I entered both Jim and me in the New York City Marathon lottery in 2017. He got accepted, and I didn’t. I knew that I’d eventually run this race as it’s one of the Majors, but I honestly wasn’t that interested in making it one of my 50 BQ’s. (I’d been eying the Wineglass instead.) … More New York City Marathon (November 2018)

Detroit Marathon (October 2018)

December 17, 2018

Our family lived in the Detroit suburbs for four years while Jim completed his fellowship, and I ran my first half on Belle Isle, so I’ve been EXCITED about running this particular marathon for years. We love visiting Michigan, so this was the perfect excuse to take a long weekend and bring the kids along … More Detroit Marathon (October 2018)

Maine Marathon (September 2018)

December 17, 2018

When running the Georgia Marathon a couple of years ago, I ran into two old friends from middle school, Sam and Kristin. One lives in Georgia and the other Maine, and they would meet in different cities across the country to run together. After a few Facebook conversations and texts, I inserted myself into the … More Maine Marathon (September 2018)

Pocatello Marathon (September 2018)

September 8, 2018

While researching Idaho marathons, one race that was suggested over and over was Pocatello. I don’t think that I’ve heard a bad word about this event, and everyone who has participated seems to love it. Initially, it wasn’t my first choice for the state as Pocatello is kind of a pain in the ass to … More Pocatello Marathon (September 2018)

Missoula Marathon (July 2018)

September 8, 2018

I have heard really good things about the Missoula Marathon, so I was looking forward to a scenic race and a fairly fast finish time in Montana. Unfortunately, the marathon gods had a slightly different plan for my weekend: This was my thirty- first marathon, and one thing that I know as a frequent traveler … More Missoula Marathon (July 2018)

Steamboat Springs Marathon (June 2018)

September 8, 2018

My aunt and uncle live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, so it has always been my intention to make the city’s June marathon our CO race. It was a great opportunity to meet up with my dad, brother, and sister-in-law and take advantage of some local summer activities. Jim and I took the kids whitewater rafting, … More Steamboat Springs Marathon (June 2018)

Fargo Marathon (May 2018)

September 8, 2018

Unfortunately, I am writing my recap for Fargo months after running the marathon, so the details of this race have become somewhat fuzzy. However, I can say with confidence that The Fargo Marathon is a great race and one that I would definitely recommend. (Which is good, as there are only six marathons in the … More Fargo Marathon (May 2018)

Newport Rhode Races (April 2018)

September 8, 2018

I knew absolutely nothing about the Newport Rhode Races Marathon when I signed Jim and I up for this one, but I needed Rhode Island, and the timing worked out well for us both, so off we went. We flew into Providence on the Friday before Boston and had to keep telling people that we … More Newport Rhode Races (April 2018)

Tobacco Road Marathon (March 2018)

September 8, 2018

The Tobacco Road Marathon has been on my radar for a couple of years. I’ve heard nothing but positive reviews, and it takes place in Cary, North Carolina, which is where one of my college roommates lives. It also coincided with the kids’ spring break, so this race became a mini family vacation for the … More Tobacco Road Marathon (March 2018)
