I’ve been running the MD-DC RRCA Club Challenge 10 Miler for several years, and I used to run the Tim Kennard River Run 10-miler every year, too. However, the Club Challenge race is super hilly, and I’ve been volunteering at Tim Kennard for several years, so it had really been a while since I ran a flat 10-miler. … More I tested my speed at the Shamrock Shuffle 10 Miler
The MD-DC RRCA 10 Mile Club Challenge is definitely the toughest race on my annual schedule, but it’s a great event, and I love representing the Eastern Shore Running Club. … More The Eastern Shore represented at this year’s RRCA Club Challenge
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
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 didn’t meet my time goal at the Mike Sterling 10K, but I did walk away with the sweetest prize of all — a Smith Island cake. … More I won the sweetest prize at the Mike Sterling 10K
