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…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Nashville 2017
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…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll San Francisco Half Marathon 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…

Race Recap: 2017 Rock n Roll DC Half Marathon
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…

Race Recap: 2017 Rock n Roll Arizona 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…

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…
