Innsbruck, Austria This trip was by happenstance. I offered to travel with Jen Castro if she was accepted into the Berlin Marathon. She suggested I enter the athlete lottery anyway, why not? We BOTH were accepted into the race! Now I had a trip to plan. I have been to Berlin & knew where I'd … Continue reading Germany & Austria – The trip
Victory Column, Tiergarten, Berlin My event was supposed to be an exercise of “I can climb back to doing this well.” Due to a two year period of peculiar medical things and lackluster race results, I wanted to have a race where I could feel myself running as I should. Completing a marathon competently, as … Continue reading 2022 Berlin Marathon

Aaron and I were scheduled to … Continue reading 2022 Two Rivers Half Marathon
This year's event was thankfully sponsored by Colavita again, which made for a great weekend of fun. The race was held on what I refer to as "the covid course" of two loops on A1A. This route was the substitute used last year when bus transportation and a crowded start area was to be avoided. … Continue reading 2022 A1A Marathon
26.2 - A warm start and a hot finish will accurately describe how this race is remembered. We had a big group from our area in the half marathon, and a few first time marathoners trying this course out, also. Prior to the race, I was involved with the WPBF live broadcast. I was interviewed … Continue reading 2021 Garden of Life Palm Beaches Marathon

Today I was "on duty" … Continue reading Space Coast Half Marathon 2021
