Thanks to the Friday Five link-up with Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney, I’m offering five races you need to experience! And, don’t worry because I am offering you some races that are still taking registrations and races that you can throw your name in the hat via their lottery systems. Plus, there is a little bit for everyone with a variety of distances! Beach to Beacon 10k: This is hands down one of my favorite races. I love Maine and the execution of {Read More}
Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud! Honestly, I love this style post for the freedom to chat about all the random things that cross my mind. Right now, I’m trying to sort out my race schedule for 2015. I feel like I am missing something from my calendar, especially the summer months. I have nothing scheduled from the beginning of May through August! I typically run a few events in Maine in the {Read More}
This is the running happy face you hope to achieve at all races, right? Well, today, I’m linking up with the DC Trifecta to run down memory lane with my 5 favorite race memories.

In December, a month out from MCM and even though {Read More}
Here goes nothing. It’s my long overdue 2013 Marine Corps Marathon race recap! When I woke up to my alarm the morning of 2013 Marine Corps Marathon, I was excited, but I felt a nervous pit in my stomach that I had not felt in a long time. I quickly grabbed my race gear and tried my best not to wake up Cora and Jake (oh the joys of staying in a hotel before a race). Within a few minutes I {Read More}
This week has been very busy and fun! Aside from MCM ’13, I’m leaving my current job based out of DC, so I planned my last days of work around marathon weekend. Crazy? Maybe. I just like to think that it saved me another trip to DC. Plus, now that I had my last day of work on Thursday, I have a week off between my old job and my new job! WIN! One week to be completely lazy post-marathon {Read More}
