I went into my second marathon feeling like of course I’d run it faster than I did my first one. After all, I’d already run 26.2 miles, so I knew what to expect. Or so I thought. I’ve learned that I’m not sure if you can ever know what to expect. I ran my second marathon … More My second marathon: A lesson learned and a struggle to the finish
There’s less than a week left until the Rehoboth Beach Seashore Marathon. I’m only planning to run two more times before race day on Saturday, Dec. 6 — two three-milers, most likely on Monday and Wednesday.

I’m the kind of person that likes to wait until after Thanksgiving to start thinking about Christmas — or at least before celebrating Christmas — but when it comes to races, it’s good to have some notice.

For the first time since I began running, I’ve managed to hit the 1,000-mile mark in a year. With a 3-miler on Monday, Nov. 10, I was able to bring this year’s total to just more than 1,002 miles. And I’m not done running for 2014: I still have a marathon ahead, on Dec. 6. I’ve been running … More 1,000-mile goal met for 2014
While I do my fair share of driving across the Bay Bridge, it’s not often that I get to run across it. So, I took that opportunity on Sunday, and participated in the Across the Bay 10K with thousands of other runners. As I believe I noted in a previous blog post on The Road … More Run across the Bay Bridge a unique experience
I run in downtown Salisbury all the time. But Saturday was my first chance to do an urban-style race that was completely within the downtown area. Plus, I got to help veterans through my race entry fee. I’ve been in Salisbury for a little more than six years, including college, and I’d never heard of a run … More HERO 5K a fun chance to race downtown
