No, not my commitment to an insane schedule - the Delmar Dash 5 miler. This was my first race of the year (!) and the longest run I've had in nearly 3 weeks. And that's longest run out of 2. The weather on the quick drive over, was silly. What was sunny and blue in … Continue reading Dash is done!

An exercise in acceptance
Sadly enough, I did not run when I was in Europe. Nope (or should I say "nein?), not even once.

As I removed my race numbers from my bulletin board, I arranged them, as any borderline obsessive would, in chronological order and … Continue reading I ran (so far away) – 2012 race summary

This year, my friend Lisa got herself together and registered before the race reached its 1500 runner capacity and we had a blast! The course for this … Continue reading Albany’s Last Run
Full moon run – at last!
Months after I first aspired to it, I finally found someone available and willing to take a longish full moon run. We got lucky with the weather as well as the brightness of the moon and had an inspiring, awesome run. Let me share the experience and challenging route we mostly enjoyed. We left my … Continue reading Full moon run – at last!
