  • 2014 Market Square Day 10k race recap

    I hadn't yet experienced a terrible race until this past Saturday's Market Square Day 10k. I blame my sub-par run on my lack of training. Since my half marathon a month ago, I've been taking a little break from running. I...

  • Providence Half Marathon race recap!

    Yesterday, I ran the United Healthcare Providence Half Marathon, my very first half marathon. Even though I put in the training and hit all my long runs, I still can't believe I did it. The weekend Ted and I drove down to...

  • 2013 Hot Chocolate Run 5k race recap!

    Yeah, it's been almost a month since I run this race, and I'm finally getting around to writing about it! This was seriously the best race I've ever run, both in terms of PR (yeah, I totally smashed my previous...

  • 2013 Turkey Trot 5k race recap

    Last year, I started a new Thanksgiving tradition - running a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning! I ran it proudly and felt so happy that I got up and ran in freezing cold temperatures. So, this Thanksgiving, I ran it...

  • Jingle Bell 5k race recap!

    So, guess what I did on Saturday? That's right, I ran a sub-30 minute 5k!!! I ran the Jingle Bell 5k here in Portsmouth and crossed the finish line at 29:27, beating my previous PR by 40 seconds. Awesome. I'm not sure...

  • Great Bay 5k race recap

    I recall thinking, after running the Great Island 5k two weeks ago, that I'd need to postpone my dreams of a sub-30 minute 5k to 2014, as no way could I run a fast (for me) 5k so soon after...

  • Great Island 5k race recap

    First 5k since July? Check. First 5k since I hurt my ankle last month? Double check. First time I've run more than 2 miles since September 17th? Yes. Triple check. Today I ran the Great Island 5k in New Castle, NH....

  • 2012 Hot Chocolate Run 5k race recap!

    So, I've had a pretty exciting past few days -- I finish NaNoWriMo, then I run a 5k, and not only any 5k, but a 5k with hot chocolate at the end! This past autumn, my sister told me about the...

  • Runner's Alley / Red Hook 5k!

    So, I ran a 5k yesterday! Words can't describe how great I feel after the race yesterday. Crossing that finish line was one of the best feelings ever, and I'm proud of myself for being able to run 3.1 miles without...

  • Born to run.

    This past Thursday, Ted and I planned on hitting the Portsmouth Brewery for dinner, as it was rumored that the elusive Kate the Great would make a guest appearance that night. Not to miss another tapping of this excellent beer,...
