Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge
Walt Disney World – Jan 7/8 2006 I never really had the desire to run the Walt Disney World marathon, until the “Goofy Challenge” was announced. For the first time, the marathon and half marathon were to be run on separate days, and it was therefore possible to run both. Disney, the mastermind of all [...]
Turkey Trot 5 Miler
So yesterday was the Turkey Trot 5 Miler. I didn’t get a good sleep the night before, but when I woke up and looked outside, I was glad to see it wasn’t snowing and the streets looked clear. accuweather.com said it was 39F so I decided that was shorts weather. I threw on a toque, [...]
uh yeah…
I thought I’d heard that the Tecumseh marathon was about a half hour slower than your marathon pace, but I wasn’t sure where I got that. So I looked up the woman who won last year. 2004 Tecumseh Trail Marathon – 3:47:10 Carrollton Charity Road Races – 3:16:42 “Last Chance for Boston” Marathon – 3:16:44 [...]
(Untitled)
12 at Highbanks today. We had a decent sized group: Brian, Doug, Bridget, Nancy, Andy, Jen and Shannon. Brian and Doug took off and I ran with Nancy and Bridget. They both have marathon aspirations: that’ll be pretty amazing to see! I hung with them for the first lap (46:58) and then took the second [...]

wow
Today was my last run before Detroit (my first since Columbus). It was also at the end of a 50+ hr workweek. It was a bit chilly and rainy, but it was perfect. I was supposed to run with Cheryl but she wimped out and went to the gym, so I ended up at Antrim. [...]
Columbus Race Report 10/16/2005
This was my anniversary race; my first marathon was Columbus last year. As I prepared for the race, I marveled at how much had changed since last year. For one thing, I had not specifically trained for this race. My goal race was last weekend, the Steamtown Marathon in Scranton, PA. But the idea of [...]
