This year’s Run, White and Blue 5K at Delaware Technical Community College in Georgetown fell on a super hot evening — the evening of Thursday, Sept. 7.

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).

I’m a big fan of small, low-frills races, and after seeing that the Baltimore Road Runners Club was hosting a four-ish mile race, Too Hot to Trot, on a weekend when I was visiting my family in the area, I decided to run it.

I’ve been working on my speed, and not too long before the Firecracker 5K on July 1, I decided to test my speed at this longtime Rehoboth Beach race, which is organized by Seashore Striders.

I don’t race 5Ks all that often, and after the Providence Marathon didn’t quite go how I wanted it to, I was really looking forward to testing my speed at the Ben Layton 5K on June 3. … More I ran a sub-30 race at the Ben Layton 5K
Note: I received a free entry to the Salisbury Half Marathon for serving as the coach for the event. I set a goal in January to beat all of my standard distance times (5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon) from 2020 through 2022 this year. I recognized at the time that the biggest challenge would … More I faced another windy challenge at the Salisbury Half Marathon
For the second year in a row, the Eastern Shore Running Club had enough team members to show up on the team results at the Maryland-D.C. RRCA 10-Mile Club Challenge, which is a win in and of itself.
