Follow my blog with Bloglovin Despite the chilly temps and lack of fully blooming cherry blossoms, the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run offered an absolutely beautiful race course and atmosphere. The sun was just rising when I arrived off the metro; the sights were just stunning. Taking in the Capital and the Washington Monument never get old. I quickly made my way towards the Washington Monument, made use of the porta-potties, and headed to the bag check. I didn’t have {Read More}

Saturday morning, Jake and I woke up around 4:30am to catch the 5:00am metro into DC. I love having the metro available for early morning races. It makes it a lot easier than trying to deal with the hassle of parking downtown. We arrived with plenty of time before the race which was great; I absolutely hate rushing around on race morning. I was happy to have the extra time because I still was not sure what to wear for {Read More}

On Sunday, October 21, 2012, I ran my first Army Ten Miler. After an early wake up, Jake dropped me off at the metro and I headed into DC solo.

The temperature started off in the 60s with a breeze off the water with sun filled skies by mid race. My friend Niki and I arrived at the start a little bit behind schedule. I decided to wait in line for the toilets while she went to the bag check. I am so glad I made the pit stop but man {Read More}

On Saturday, I ran the Bunny Boogie 3 Miler in Darien, Connecticut! Let me just say that since we moved back north, after living in Texas for a few years, I definitely consider myself a big wussy when it comes to cool temps. It was in the low to mid forties that morning. Perfect running weather but it was way too cold to wait around outside. Jake and I sat huddled in the car until a few minutes before the start. {Read More}

Sunday I ran the Jelly Bean Virtual Race 10k! Image Courtesy of Run with Jess I went out not knowing how far I was going to run. I had a 5k or 10k in mind since you can participate in any distance for the Jelly Bean. After about two miles, I decided to go for the 10k since I had plenty of time for my run. It was such a beautifully sunny day, even if it was really windy. Miles: {Read More}
