I was a first-timer at this one, pacing the 1:55 group. I had Kerry with me, she’s done this one a few times and knew where to go, where to park and where everything was. It was easy to find the bandshell and collect my pacer singlet and the sign. I made a visit to … Continue reading Barron Collier Companies Naples Half Marathon 2026

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
For this one, like most in this event’s history, I knew it would be warm. All the bouncing around leading up to Sunday wasn’t of concern to me. I had been doing some of the recommended “stay off your feet” even with expo and all the PBRR duties we undertake because of being associated with … Continue reading 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon
13.1 milesThis was my 13th or 14th time as a pacer in the Space Coast Half Marathon, all done on the South course. In the COVID year when they did not allow pacers, I ran the race as an age group athlete. Since then, this weekend has become very popular with our Palm Beach Roadrunners … Continue reading 2025 Space Coast Half Marathon
October 5, 2025 This whole event looked promising last January when I registered. It was to be a part of Izabelle's birthday weekend, with other friends from around the world coming at least for the visit, some to run the race. I learned in August that I would be the only person coming, and that … Continue reading 2025 P’tit Train du Nord Marathon
Last Chance BQ race, Sept 7, 2025 26.2 mi. - This was a novel replacement for the Sydney Marathon, which I did not get selected for in either the general lottery or the "special" Abbott WMM drawing for athletes with at least 3 stars. When I learned I wouldn't be running for Star #7, I … Continue reading 2025 Erie Marathon
5k - This race was held on Sunday, Feb 23rd in 64 degrees, That's a cooler event day than we usually get. Held on the familiar John Prince Park 5k course, this is a two out-n-back loop setup.

26.2 Race. Another year at this and more lessons. First up, the Team Colavita dinner. I positioned myself "south" at our company warehouse for the Friday afternoon to avoid the traffic that always seems to hit driving down to this. That worked well, I drove up the Sawgrass Expressway to Hillsboro Blvd which is close … Continue reading 2025 A1A Marathon
Here's what's been happening as 2025 as I prep for a good year of run performances. A1A Marathon is 10 days away. It will be my 70th marathon, plus the 20th consecutive in the run streak for this event. I have mixed myself into the workouts and runs of anyone training for a half or … Continue reading Setting sights on a good 2025 Marathon Season
This was a first time run at this race, which I understand has been going for the last 5 years. It's organized the Running Zone, the same shop that produces Space Coast Marathon. The results totaled 297 runners. The course led over a causeway bridge twice, at Mile 1 and Mile 5. The rest of … Continue reading Vero Beach Half Marathon (Pacing)
The expo Friday & Saturday was very windy, a sign of what Sunday's event would entail. The Pacer tent was positioned next to our PBRR tent which was nice, I tended to both most of each day with help on each side from club members and pacers. Sunday I arrived at 4:15 am to move … Continue reading Palm Beaches Marathon 2024
