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

26.48 miles. My race was on Sunday, I flew here on Friday morning. I chose to stay in Crystal City, Arlington, VA. This had me positioned near the race start and finish plus close to the DC Metro subway system for getting around. My AirBnB was very nice, a good place to base camp for … Continue reading Marine Corps Marathon 2023
The 18th running of this event was a hot one! I attended the Colavita Dinner Friday night at Luigi di Roma with Maria. The meal was great - the transit to the restauarnt in Deerfield Beach is crazy! This is always a test of patience as the drive down on a Friday late afternoon takes … Continue reading 2023 A1A Marathon
Getting my 6th unicorn medal from Patty The Patriot's Day weekend away was a tremendous experience. I'll sprinkle some of that info here along with my thoughts on the race, my race buildup and post-run things. The Boston Marathon, in its entirety, is a "cozy" event. Most of what a runner experiences (besides the eight … Continue reading 2022 Boston Marathon Weekend
Only two action shots from this year's photographer - they look similar... It was time to give this race a second try. I had (from covid cancellations) an entry and last year it was a good trip with friends. This year I came with Aaron, Maureen, Jackie and Judy. Aaron and I were scheduled to … Continue reading 2022 Two Rivers Half Marathon
Happy Finishers! I had a good trip to Northeast PA this time. The race went off as planned, with Saturday definitely being the better of the two weekend days to have registered for. More on the weather in a bit... Five of us traveled to this race. Maureen, Kim, and Judy were on the original … Continue reading 2021 Two Rivers Marathon Festival
15 miles. A Tuesday morning run turns into a big effort for half marathon training. I don't remember doing a workout like this even for a full marathon. Today I did 3 miles of warmup, with two up and down the bridge. Then we started the one mile intervals at "goal pace." My goal is … Continue reading Galen Rupp’s workout?
This was the 15th running of this event, and it proved to have the best weather conditions of any previous year. The A1A race weekend was 3 weeks early, the result of swapping dates with the Miami Marathon due to the Super Bowl being in town. I was a member of the Colavita Team again, … Continue reading 2020 A1A Marathon
5mi. Today was an important workout. The how-to recover from a marathon for me includes doing this Tuesday run to loosen up whatever was stiff and creaky, vs. allow my legs to be bound up for the rest of the week. I did receive an IV after the race, which restores lost fluids in a … Continue reading Bridge after race (again!)
10k race. This was the first year for this event, a 5k and 10k at Singer Island Ocean Mall. I was originally slated to be the announcer, but a local radio station sponsored the event and used their talent instead. I arrived early so I could do what I'd normally do before asking my legs … Continue reading Wendy Martinez 10k
