Races and Adventures

Done

We just returned from the closing banquet. Feels like the end of summer camp. The facts: after stage 1 we were 13th out of 23 teams and after 6 stages we finished 8th out of 21 teams in our division, including finishing 7th the last three stages. Got stronger every day, amazing what the body can do! More important than the facts is the experience. Impossible to put in words. Home tomorrow, tired, sore and proud!

Girl Run II

What is wrong with this picture?

  1. Someone has been spending a lot of time with Lefty – and it’s rubbing off…
  2. Blame it on mimosa in the afternoon…
  3. Someone is over-training…
  4. None of the above – it is a fashion statement… hmmmmm

NJ Trail Series “Makes Running Fun”

Anecdotes

One down two to go

The first Bite of the Bluff training run has taken place. Just 15 hardy souls set out on a hot sunny Sunday morning for the 8 mile route. Despite flagging placed by the front runners, several still managed to take short detours, but thankfully everyone who entered the woods was accounted for! [Read more...]

Run Locations

Where am I?

The run started down town. The road was narrow, cars were parked on both sides and the space in between was frequently filled by fast moving vehicles. Runners appear to be an unusual hazard and with no sidewalks to speak of, the only option was to play chicken over who could slip through the gap without flinching. I lost several bouts!
