Rock n Roll Marathon Series races
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 … Continue reading Race Recap: Rock n Roll San Diego Remix Challenge 2017
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 … Continue reading Race Recap: Rock n Roll Liverpool 2017 Remix Challenge
It's been a month since my last race. I've been really enjoying the downtime at home on weekends. However, I've spent some time really thinking about my running goals before hitting the road. Before I knew it, we were headed to Nashville. As always, I was following the weather pretty closely leading up to the … Continue reading Race Recap: Rock n Roll Nashville 2017
Stop #3: Sam Clams Disco! I can't believe I hadn't done this race sooner. What took me so long to do a race in northern California? I've gone up the coast for plenty of work trips, but very rarely for fun trips. Such a travesty...I've seen so much under the guise of work, but this was … Continue reading Race Recap: Rock n Roll San Francisco Half Marathon 2017
This was my first new race destination in quite awhile! It was nice escaping Denver for a long weekend in the nation's capital. (Well, it was part exciting and part depressing all at the same time, given the political climate...) Before heading out of town, I enjoyed some birthday cake and rang in my 33rd year … Continue reading Race Recap: 2017 Rock n Roll DC Half Marathon
We flew into Phoenix for our cool-down race, just a mere 3 days after returning from Orlando. By the time we got home, we didn't bother unpacking at all - in fact, while packing up in Orlando, we decided to pack for Phoenix since we were doing laundry anyways. What has become of my life? I've … Continue reading Race Recap: 2017 Rock n Roll Arizona 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
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
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
To tell you the truth, I started off my race weekend a bit disappointed. A few months back, I had registered for the full marathon. However, with my lack of training and inability to truly run a full marathon in less than 4 and a half hours, I had settled into the mentality that I … Continue reading Race Recap: 2013 Zappos Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Las Vegas
