Race Recap: 2013 Rock ‘n Roll Seattle Half Marathon

Ahhhhh. There's nothing feeling like you've finally arrived in a new city than running a road race there. Make that three. I've completed the Athleta Iron Girl 10K last year, along with the Sporty Divas half marathon in Tacoma, but the Rock n Roll races always hold a fond place in my heart. This race … Continue reading Race Recap: 2013 Rock ‘n Roll Seattle Half Marathon →

Race Recap: 2013 Rock n Roll Portland Half Marathon

So I've had Rock n Roll Portland on my list for quite awhile now. I was really happy to knock this one off my list! This particular half marathon was very important to me since it was my first official long run since I sprained my ankle a few months ago. Thankfully, it held up … Continue reading Race Recap: 2013 Rock n Roll Portland Half Marathon →

Race Recap: 2013 Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Arizona

Despite the tragedy surrounding race weekend, it went pretty well. Everything prior to the expo was a bit of a blur. I quickly picked up all of my race swag and headed out to wander the expo for a few hours. I picked up a few safety items -- a Brooks night running jacket and … Continue reading Race Recap: 2013 Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Arizona →

Race Recap: Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Los Angeles 2013

I'll never again take the sunshine for granted. I departed from Seattle on a gray, wet afternoon. Up until the race, my runs had been wet and chilly. I packed my warm weather gear -- a running skirt and a t-shirt. Arriving on Friday night, my boyfriend and I headed to a great pho restaurant … Continue reading Race Recap: Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Los Angeles 2013 →

Race Recap: Sporty Diva’s Half Marathon

This weekend's race was a lot of fun! It was my first small race (less than 50 participants) and it was mostly women-focused. The race was more of a "run your own race" sort of event, with distances of 5K, 10K, 15K, and a half marathon. I totally underestimated what the event coordinator meant by … Continue reading Race Recap: Sporty Diva’s Half Marathon →

Olympic Tri (My Way) and Race Recap: Athleta Iron Girl 10K

So sometime last night, when I was tossing and turning because I couldn't fall asleep, I came up with this plan... I've been really annoyed lately that I can't find a nearby triathlon that works with my schedule so i decided to do my own thing. (Story of my life.) I decided that since my … Continue reading Olympic Tri (My Way) and Race Recap: Athleta Iron Girl 10K →
