October 17, 2025
For 14 years, I’ve started Labor Day Weekend with the Mike Sterling 10K in Crisfield. I had plans with family across the bridge later on Saturday, Aug. 30, but I didn’t want to miss this race. So, I headed south from Salisbury before heading back to my house and then continuing north/west. … More My 14th Mike Sterling 10K — featuring perfect weather

Mike Sterling 10K: Cooler weather helped me to my fastest 10K since 2019
September 23, 2023
My fastest race “since 2019” has been a trend lately — clearly, I had a good year that year (and then we all know what happened in 2020). After running my fastest 5K since 2019 this July, I was happy to add to that by running my fastest 10K since 2019 at the Mike Sterling 10K in Crisfield. … More Mike Sterling 10K: Cooler weather helped me to my fastest 10K since 2019

On Labor Day Weekend — Crab Derby Weekend — I headed to Crisfield for my 11th annual Mike Sterling 10K. It was the 43rd running of the race.

Plenty of our Eastern Shore Running Club friends also participated, and … More Mike Sterling 10K: A great way to kick off Labor Day Weekend
On a beautiful day, I beat last year’s Mike Sterling 10K time by four minutes
September 10, 2021
I knew it was a good sign when I went out for a casual 5K evening run last week, a couple days before the Mike Sterling 10K, and ran the first mile in 10:54 without expending all my effort. In this summer’s heat and humidity, struggling through 12-, 13- and 14-minute miles has been the … More On a beautiful day, I beat last year’s Mike Sterling 10K time by four minutes
Out of racing practice: My ninth Mike Sterling 10K
September 19, 2020
I didn’t feel my best at the Mike Sterling 10K on Labor Day weekend, but I appreciated the feeling of heading toward that finish line — marked by a crab pot arch. That feeling is something I just don’t think can be duplicated in a virtual event. Plus, I, along with my blog, got a … More Out of racing practice: My ninth Mike Sterling 10K
Upping the mileage in August
September 6, 2019
August was another busy month of running! Here’s how it went… I ran 128.25 miles. Getting further into training for the Marine Corps Marathon meant that I ran 128.25 miles in August. This was my highest monthly total since March. I ran two races. These were the Naylor Mill 7K, where I represented Team Bacon, … More Upping the mileage in August
We threw it back to 1979 at the Mike Sterling 10K
September 6, 2019
Crisfield was filled with runners in short shorts, sweatbands and tube socks on Saturday. I was dressed in a race shirt from 1979 that I found on Etsy, some of my shorter shorts and tube socks. I also wore my hair in a ponytail rather than my usual bun. I’d looked at photos online and … More We threw it back to 1979 at the Mike Sterling 10K
