Raleigh Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon {2017}

Today (4/2/17)  I ran one of my best races.  It still feels surreal.  After a very disappointing race in 2015, where the humidity and GI distress was nearly unbearable.  And last year, I ran it "fun run" style on my 31st birthday with my husband.  This year I can finally … [Read more...]

2016 in review

I want to start with the (probably overused and clichéd) lines from Seasons of Love.  First, let me digress... this song is from the Broadway musical “Rent,” which I happened to see 10 years ago last November (in 2006!) as a senior at West Point, with my friend Meg.  The best … [Read more...]
