Follow @vanessajunkin I was thinking about numbers the whole time. If we were at the half-mile mark at this point, we had six minutes left to get to the next mile marker, which would be a 12:00 pace — so we wouldn’t be behind. We’re at a time ending in .85 now, so we … More A perfect day to pace the Rehoboth Seashore Half Marathon
I actually remember thinking during the Bottle & Cork 10 Miler about not finishing. I think I always knew I would finish, but I did struggle during this race.

Follow @vanessajunkin I’ve been to a lot of races, and the food spread at the Run for the Animals in tiny Onancock, Virginia, is simply amazing.

Follow @VanessaJunkin The #RWRunStreak is now 1/3 of the way over. That might not sound like a lot — for example, I wouldn’t be happy with a 33 percent on a test. But although my legs do seem to be feeling a little sluggish, the first 12 days have gone by quickly. I haven’t had … More #RWRunStreak: 1/3 of the way there
Follow @VanessaJunkin I was realizing during my run today that DeVage’s Subs & Donuts is the fourth donut place I have included in a run.
