Alternate caption, which I feel like is common in race photos: Why am I doing this again? I love this race so much I will run it in the pouring rain. It was my first true distance run and 15K/10M is my happy place. I racefess though that I almost wish it had snowed. You… Read More »
Not that there was anything wrong with the rest of my week, but Saturday’s Governor’s Island mischief was definitely the highlight. Not going to do a full race recap since it’s substantively the same as last year’s Haunted Island and every other Governors Island 10K, but I’ll get into it more below. There were some… Read More »
Original intro, and then this post got delayed three weeks: no point in a weekly run down since I barely ran in Alaska. Nothing wrong, conscious decision to focus on hiking on top of half marathon recovery. Working on a recap of the trip, which will cover what little but gorgeous running happened. *tap* *tap*… Read More »
crosstraining Cari? However you want to call it, a fun thing happened this week. I was on Roosevelt Island Sunday and wanted to go to the northern tip to see the renovated lighthouse and new Nellie Bly installation, but wasn’t feeling the walk. Not pain but my legs were just tired. Less activity but not… Read More »
or Women’s Mini, or Mastercard Mini. I’ve run this five! times and I’m pretty sure it has had five names. I call him that, but I was already at bib pickup. I’m still crediting him because he’s cute, and I would have bought him if NYRR was selling. Speaking of ambassadors. Linking up with Coach… Read More »
I had no goals for this race and never care about place, but when I saw him later on an out and back at mile eleven or so, I just knew that I was not going to lose to a banana! In fall 2021, I had great plans for this to be a Goal Race.… Read More »
Throughout COVID we heard running isn’t cancelled, which was very true. And it’s not even my return to racing-but NYCRuns’ Spring Fling just made me feel normal. Not a full race recap as the course, amenities are the same as Haunted Island and Firecracker 10Ks, but it was so much fun to be playing outside… Read More »
as you can tell, I had absolutely no fun at all and did not remotely hit my goal of finishing smiling 😉 This was fun, but can someone lop off a few of the hills in the Park? Linking up with Kim and Zenaida to discuss the February 2022, NYC Runs’ Central Park Half Marathon… Read More »
are those two connected? If so, maybe there’s a PR in my January future. The run down isn’t much of one as I took it easy this week to get my calves, hamstring to calm the fuck down. Mission mostly accomplished. I’ll touch on it below but in the mean time linking up with Kim… Read More »
because my weekly run down can be summed up as: I ran and saw amazing bloggers (more on that in a post soon) on my ~ 1300 mile drive, I’m instead linking up with Kim and Deborah for this race recap of my ninth? half marathon. I so love this distance. Also, the race was… Read More »
