Welcome to my blog

I'm a 20-something running my way through Denver.

2012 Races

Denver Rock n' Roll Half Marathon (9-22) Bear Chase Trail Half Marathon (9-30)

Colfax Marathon: Race Recap

I’m sad to report that marathon #3 ended up being a disaster, and a personal worst time for me.

 

I was so ready for this race.  Unfortunately, my stomach had other plans for me.

My first 5 miles I felt amazing.  My pace felt easy and my mind was calm.  We started with [...]

Redline 13.1 Westminster: Race Recap

It took me a while to get this race recap up.  April is a CRAZY month, including two sets of visitors coming to Denver, a business trip for Neil, planning and attending my cousin’s bachelorette party in NYC and peak marathon training.  My cousin’s bachelorette is the day after my last long run and I [...]

2011 in Races

A part of me considers 2011 a disappointing year in terms of races because I did not reach my goal times in two of my A races (the National Half Marathon and the Chicago Marathon).  Yet something really awesome happened in 2011: I made it through the year with no serious injuries!  *Knock on wood.*  [...]

A Month of Races

Remember after the Chicago Marathon I said I wanted to do some low-pressure, fun races?  Then remember how I instead spent my weekends drinking too much and sleeping too little? 

Well, I finally registered for some races.  In fact, I’ll be ending 2011 with a bang with 4 races in a row.  Here is [...]

Marine Corps Marathon Spectating

Alternative title #2: The day I ran an unplanned 15+ miles.

Alternative title #3: Marathon spectating leads to marathon registrations.

This morning I ran down to the 36th Marine Corps Marathon to pace Stephanie in the last 7 miles of her race.  I ran 4.2 [...]

Wordless Wednesday: The Real Race Photos

Remember last week when I thought the Parks Half didn’t get any pics of me?  I was wrong.  They sent them out a few days later. 

Apparently I really like putting my arms up for pictures. 

They also finally posted the Bike to the Beach Century ride pictures.  If you’re keeping tabs [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Race Photos

This post should have included pictures of me from the Parks Half Marathon, but I couldn’t find any!  I remember hamming it up for a photographer at one point, but it’s nowhere on their website (yet).  Don’t they know I have a blog??  How rude.

Anyways, some other pictures to entertain you.  The winner – [...]
