This Memorial Day weekend, my best friend, A, and I drove up to Traverse City so that I could run the Bayshore Half Marathon. Bayshore has been on my list for a while, as every Michigander runner raves about it. Many use the marathon as their Boston Qualifier since the course is all downhill after… Read More Marathon Monday: Bayshore Half
This year, my goal was to get serious about my running again. I normally don’t like to say that I am a serious runner, because my work schedule doesn’t allow me the flexibility to run as much as I need to reach BQ Qualifying levels. Typically, when people ask me how I was able to… Read More Marathon Monday: SHE RUNS Half Marathon

It was nice having the first two as a “mini-getaway” for me; but since I turned 24 on… Read More Marathon Monday: Muddog Half
The second installation of the Winter Warrior Series was on the 18th of February. I was looking forward to it as the weekend before I completely slacked off of my training. Most of this had to do with the fact that I was supposed to go on vacation to San Antonio; but instead, Michigan ended… Read More Marathon Monday: Icecube Half
After my first Marathon, I was so sore I had zero motivation to run (at all). Then, winter came in full force and I decided that I was only going to be a fair-weather runner. I couldn’t stand running on a treadmill and with it getting dark around 4:30pm I hardly there was hardly any time to safely… Read More Marathon Monday: Snowmans Half
