London Marathon 2023

Finished at Trafalgar Square Since this race starts at 9:30 am for the pros and 10 am for “the masses,” we weren’t required to wake up very early, which was great! We stayed in a Hilton DoubleTree hotel in nearby Deptford Bridge. This put us approximately ½ mile from the park where the race began. … Continue reading London Marathon 2023

Crumbs run

Most of what a runner experiences (besides the eight … Continue reading 2022 Boston Marathon Weekend

Aaron and I were scheduled to … Continue reading 2022 Two Rivers Half Marathon

2021 Garden of Life Palm Beaches 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
