Race Recap: Rock n Roll San Jose Half Marathon 2017
On the heels of Paris came our next race…San Jose! I had planned on doing the Remix Challenge, but that short work-week returning from Paris was pretty rough on me. I felt like I had been coming down from a cold, especially with all the exhaustion from the race and traveling. Somewhere in between flying…

Race Recap: Disneyland Paris Half Marathon 2017
Every mile is magic, especially when you run them inside of a Disney park! This run took me all the way to Disneyland Paris. The week leading up to the race I’ve began noticing some changes – a lot of mood swings, overall anxiety, particularly high irritability about everything. I don’t think it had anything…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Philadelphia Remix Challenge 2017
When I first started running Rock n Roll races, I remember seeing the Hall of Fame status set at 10 races. I remember wondering to myself how someone could have the stamina and the means to accomplish 10 half marathons, let alone find the time to travel to different races around the country or the…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon 2017
Soooo…Virginia Beach. That was an interesting trip! We cashed in all of our miles to book this birthday trip for Erik, which fell during Labor Day weekend and during the Great American Music Festival.

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Chicago Half Marathon 2017
My eighth Rock n Roll race of the year was in Chicago. What an adventure that was! This was the quickest turnaround trip I think I’ve ever done for an out-of-state race. I had a class the morning before my trip that kept me on my toes. After my class was over. It required a bit…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Seattle Remix Challenge 2017
For the eighth city of the year I headed back to my favorite race city, Seattle! Seeing as though my office is based out of Seattle (well, sort of), I mixed work and fun. I flew in to the city and headed in to the office for some meetings, and then at the end of…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll San Diego Remix Challenge 2017
While in Liverpool, I peeked at the race calendar for the Rock n Roll series. I knew that there was a marathon in San Diego the weekend we returned from our trip, and that it was the only 7-hour finish cutoff until the end of the year (others being Savannah or San Antonio). I was…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Liverpool 2017 Remix Challenge
After much anticipation, we touched down in Manchester for a quick afternoon, wandered the city for a bit, and then boarded a train to Liverpool the next morning. Despite the tragedy that struck just a day or so earlier, we found a lot of love and beauty in the city: The next morning, we boarded a…
