I’m going to pickup where I left off and recap the rest of the Inaugural ZOOMA Bermuda race weekend. Find the first part of the weekend here. I opted to run the Bermuda Challenge, which consisted of the Saturday Lighthouse Run + either the 10k or Half Marathon on Sunday. Because someone is in no [Read More]
RocknRoll Chicago 5k
RocknRoll Chicago weekend is here and gone. Oh how summer flies. Despite some commuting challenges, it did not disappoint in the fun department.

Rock n Roll Half Marathon Race Report

Flying Pig 3-Way Part II: Half Marathon Day
If you’re just joining us, look here for the 5k and 10k action that preceeded this half. I woke Sunday morning in the wee hours to loud voices in our hotel hallway. A prom the night before apparently partied on in the hallway. At 3am. Ugh. I never got fully back to sleep, so at [Read More]
February Runfessions
I had to take a degree of incline off to finish my last 2 pace intervals yesterday. Arghhh. Can you say pansy? I still had it at 1 so maybe a smallish pansy? I fear the Brooks trail shoes I was so happy to get such a good deal on will not be able to [Read More]
