    Woot! Shaved 20 minutes off my PR from April!!! So excited. This race went exactly according to plan. This was part of an 18 mile training run today, so I ran 5 miles before the race , which left me nice and  warmed up for the race. It was cloudy and breezy and about 42…

  • Lapidus Montclair Run 10K Race Report

    On thanksgiving day I ran a 10K.  I was visiting my mom in Birmingham and decided that since I was gonna be there I might as well race. Of course, this was less than 2 weeks after running the Battlefield Marathon, so it would have stood to reason that I should take a long recovery…

    Well, since Megan and I decided to focus on faster races and speed development this spring, I registered for my first ever 8K race. Held in my hometown on March 6, the race proved mighty convenient since we could stay with my parents and I could drive the 2 miles to the race location. I’ve…

  • Rocket City Marathon Report

    megan, bart yasso, and me As you know from the last post, I went into the race fairly confident in my training, but a little nervous as to the outcome. To spare you of the suspense, I had a great race where everything went according to plan. I ran 5:33:00 for my second marathon and…

    The Fuzzy Butt 10K  Okay, it wasn’t really called that, but as you exit the interstate in Clanton, you see a water tower fashioned and painted to resemble a giant peach.  But as you can see from the photo above, it resembles a fuzzy orange butt. If you recall, this Clanton race was the focus…

  • Rockin’ on The River 10K: Race report

    Swag from the race On June 13, I ran the Rockin’ on the River 10K in Gadsden, Alabama.  Gadsden once had a vibrant and active running club but it eventually fell into disrepair and the club faltered.  For years they hosted a 10K called the Spring Run.  This race was run on the old Spring…
