Race recap: Death Valley Half Marathon 2025
I think this is the only race inside of a national park, so naturally I had to register and give it a try. This was also the last national park we visited as a family before my mom passed away. We did a day trip from my parents’ place in the desert. I had booked…

Race recap: Dallas Marathon 2024
I crossed the start line and finish line of the Dallas Marathon, but I’m not counting it towards my official count. This race was a total bummer to be honest. I was worried months ahead of time about being swept because the race had a hard sweep. I couldn’t change my corral after registering, so…

Race recap: 24 Hours of Palmer Lake 2024
It was a beautiful day at Palmer Lake for a 24 hour race! I had a few goals for my race…A) get in my 15 training miles B) toy with the idea of going 26.2 miles and C) toy with the idea of going 50K. I made my A goal, and failed at my B…

Race recap: Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon 2024
This was my 63rd half marathon. Some are harder than others and I’d say this definitely ranks up there as one of the hottest I ever done. I spent a few hours on a Halloween costume that I dutifully packed away in my suitcase for race weekend. All the pieces would hold up for 13.1…

Race recap: Alien Chase 5K 2024
This was a particularly busy time for us, and we made a short turnaround trip to Roswell to 1) support/race this local 5K and 2) work on some business stuff in New Mexico. I’ve done this race every year since 2021. I should get my medals organized, because I’m going to start blinging out pretty…

Race recap: North Olympic Discovery Half Marathon 2024
I scheduled myself a Terrific Lady Weekend™️, which is when I make solo weekend plans by myself that either involve racing or Disney. This time around, it involved a back-to-back race…a 5K and a half marathon called The Double Eagle Challenge. I was going to be in town for a work trip for a week,…

Race recap: Colfax Half Marathon 2024
The Colfax Half Marathon and 5K weekend were very hot hot HOT! I was about halfway through my Still I Run streak month by the time this race rolled around, so I had been doing some running (but not racing) at elevation. My goal was to finish both runs at under the required Dopey pace…

Race recap: Labor of Love Half Marathon 2024
I headed to one of my favorite cities — Las Vegas — for my 40th birthday. It was my first time racing the Labor of Love half marathon with Calico Racing in Lovell Canyon, which was maybe 30-45 minute outside of the city. It was a very crisp morning – a little chilly. I wore…

Race recap: Hot Chocolate 15K Seattle 2024
The Hot Chocolate Seattle race is always a great one. I was excited to fly in for work a few days early to toe the start line. The weather was gray and cold, to be expected during this time of year in Seattle. This race was particularly special because it was my last race in…
