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
In honor of Memorial Day Weekend 2018, I thought this would be the perfect marathon to talk about today. A few weeks after I ran the 2018 Indy Mega Mini Challenge, I flew to Burlington, Vermont for the 30th Anniversary of the Vermont City Marathon. I picked this marathon to be the next one because… Read More Marathon Monday: Vermont City Marathon

However, since I have taken a rather long hiatus from writing (5 years to be exact), I figured it would be best to just start again with my most recent races, then go back and fill in the… Read More Marathon Monday: Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon

Running the Milky… Read More Marathon Monday: Milky Way 26K
The third installation of the Winter Warrior Series was on the 11th of March. For the first time, I managed to convince G to drive up and watch the race with me so I was overly excited. 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 last half-marathon, I was itching for another race. I went to the runMichigan website to see what will be coming up in March/April. I got super distracted by all of the virtual run medals, then that’s when I saw it. In two days (aka January 31st), there was a Blue Moon 10K in honor… Read More Marathon Monday: Blue Moon 10K
