There are many trails around my mom and stepdad’s house, and when I have the time, I like to explore new places. I looked on the AllTrails app to see what trails were nearby and ended up choosing to drive to the Masemore Water Trail in Gunpowder Falls State Park (Hereford Area) in Parkton, Maryland. … More Exploring Parkton’s Gunpowder North Trail was a fun adventure
I’d been working on my speed with the 11:30 Club for a little while when I decided to sign up for the Ben Layton 5K, held right by my home in Salisbury, Maryland, on the trail that goes around the Salisbury City Park. I hoped to be able to run the 5K, held May 7, … More Ben Layton 5K: I missed a sub-30 finish, but I had a strong race
On the first day of May, I headed south to Wachapreague, Virginia, for the Run for the Animals 10K. This small-town race that I’ve run several times offers both a half marathon and 10K, along with a noncompetitive 5K, and I decided to run the 10K to test my speed. I have gotten much slower … More I ran my fastest 10K since 2019 at the Run for the Animals
Now that May is coming to an end, I’m finally getting to my April running recap. It’s been a busy couple months of running and other plans. I ran 100.22 miles. I was happy to make it to 100 miles in a month for the first time since January. I ran my fast 1600 in … More Finally… My April running recap!
After my run at the Salisbury Half Marathon, I was a little nervous about pacing the 2:45 group at the Coastal Delaware Half Marathon. I knew I could do it, and I’d paced a 2:45 half without issue in December, but my time of 2:42:24 at Salisbury left me worried that I’d run too close … More I paced the 2:45 group at the Coastal Delaware Half Marathon and came in with one second to spare
Whenever I attend a meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Tourism Public Relations Alliance, I always enjoy running in the host location. The most recent meeting took place April 22 in Dewey Beach (Southern Delaware Tourism was the host), and I needed to pick up my packet for the Coastal Delaware Running Festival in the area later … More I went for a beautiful run at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge
I usually feel like I’m trained to run a half marathon with my regular running and marathon training, but ahead of the Salisbury Half Marathon on April 2, I felt different. My half marathons normally fall during or soon after marathon training, so I’m doing a decent amount of long runs. This time, I hadn’t done a double-digit run for a month. … More I tried a new strategy at the Salisbury Half Marathon and am inspired to work on speed
I’ve been easing back into my running mileage as I recover from plantar fasciitis (and I hope it’s gone for good at some point!). However, this allowed me to do a lot of yoga during March. Here’s how the month went: I ran 72.9 miles. This is not a particularly high-mileage month for me, but … More March Running Wrap-Up: Some running and a lot of yoga
I told myself after the Algonquin 50K, I’d take two weeks off. I pretty much did (I took 13 days off), and I think it really helped! I ran 70.15 miles in February. I did run the 50K, as noted, but with my 13 days off afterward, I ended up with a lower-than-usual mileage month … More My February running: Two races and almost two weeks off
For the past three years of the Maryland-D.C. RRCA 10 Mile Club Challenge, the Eastern Shore Running Club has put together a team of club members to represent the club at this race. We have always had fun representing our club on this tough course. But until this year, we’ve never had enough members to show up on the results. … More ESRC represented at the RRCA Club Challenge, and I was proud to be part of it
