“I should have had a beer.” It was around mile 18 (I think?) when I came upon an “unofficial” aid station of the Vermont 50k that was blasting music, handing out beers, fruit and pickle juice. I seriously considered the beer but opted for the pickle juice instead and carried on down the trail. Within […]

“Let’s take a moment to pause and let it soak in what we just did”. It was after midnight. We were exhausted and ready for nothing more than a shower and sleep after a day of running the Vermont 100 on 100 Relay. As we parked the van at Allie’s condo, Nat, with tears in […]

FYI – pic from 2017 race. I feel like I’m flying. Legs are moving swiftly over the ground. Heart is thumping. Breathing is smooth and not labored. Well, a little labored. I am running Loon Mountain Race after all. I’m feeling good. And then it happens. I hit a rock and my ankle rolls to […]

How’s your running inspiration right now? Mine is through the roof after watching the Boston Marathon coverage on TV and tracking friends on Monday.

Last week’s workouts were kept mostly easy in anticipation of the Seacoast Half Marathon. It’s crazy that it’s been two years since I did a half (and 5 years since I ran this race) when for years the 13.1 distance was my jam. I’m rusty on racing (and rusty in racing in general) those so […]

I know I am surrounded by spectators on either side of the trail near the finish line of the Loon Mountain Race. But I don’t see or hear them at all. My eyes go from the ground to searching for the summit and the finish line back to the ground. One step in front of […]
