I started out my last quarterly wrap-up with saying how busy I was, and that’s continued into 2025. But before I do my wrap-up of 2024 and move on to 2025 posts, it’s time to recap my last quarter of 2024. … More My word for the fourth quarter of 2024: Busy
It’s now become a tradition for me to pace the Rehoboth Seashore Half Marathon each December. This race will always hold a special place in my heart as my first-ever marathon in 2013 and a race that’s always been a lot of fun on a scenic route — that year and every year since. 2024 was my seventh consecutive year pacing the half marathon at this race with Beast Pacing. … More On another cold race day, I paced the Rehoboth Beach Seashore Half Marathon
I’ve been traveling a lot for my marathons, but my most recent marathon — the NCR Marathon — was only a few hours from where I live now and less than 30 minutes from where I grew up. … More NCR Marathon: I took on a familiar trail on a cold day
This year, I had the opportunity to pace the Historic Drawbridge Running Festival Half Marathon for the first time. I’ve been interested in this race before, but I hadn’t yet run it, because I always have a busy fall racing season. This year, I did run four November races, including this one. However, it worked … More Historic Drawbridge Running Festival: Consistent pacing at a new race for me
In November, I had the chance to run across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge for the 10th time at the Bay Bridge Run 10K. It’s in its fourth year under the current organizers, Corrigan Sports. … More I ran across the Bay Bridge for the 10th time
I had a great half marathon race earlier this year at the Salisbury Half Marathon, so time-wise, I wasn’t sure if the Ocean City Running Festival Half Marathon would compare. And I was a decent amount slower at the Ocean City race, which was Saturday, Nov. 2. However, my race went much better than the inaugural Ocean City race in 2023, which was unseasonably hot. … More Ocean City Running Festival Half Marathon: Fun with friends, consistent pace and sore feet
It’s continued to have been quite a busy year, and it’s now time to wrap up my third quarter of running. Here’s how my runs went in July, August and September. The heat is my least favorite temperature to run in, but I always enjoy the many hours of sunlight into the evenings. I’m picking … More My running word for the third quarter of 2024: Build
I’ve participated in the Tour de Salisbury every year it’s been offered, but this year’s Tour had a new twist — each location was on an island! For two of the islands, you could only get there by boat. Because of the further-away and harder-to-get-to courses, we also had four months to complete The Islands Tour. … More The Islands Tour was a fun new twist on the Tour de Salisbury
I do a lot of the same races year after year, but the Historic Stevensville Distance Festival 8.15-miler was one of the new ones I added this year, and I’m glad I did. … More Historic Stevensville Distance Festival: A unique distance and fun race
I participated in my first-ever official cycling event in September — the DC Bike Ride! I was part of the DC and Philly Joy Rider Team for my first year in 2024 and have promoted the events this year. In order to be ready for the event and also create cycling-related content, this event also got me more into cycling. … More DC Bike Ride: My first cycling event
