Race #201Half Marathon #732022 Race #92022 Half Marathon #4South Carolina Half Marathon #53Alliance HHI Half #1 I had a range of goals going into this race that changed based on a few factors. My first goal was a race close to my PR or at the least a 1:45. As the time for the race…

Race #20010k #172022 Race #82022 10k #1Spinx Run Fest 10k #2 Originally, I planned to run the half marathon with Mom to get closer to logging 100 half marathons. Then I considered the timing with this weekend falling immediately prior to my goal half at Hilton Head so I registered us for the 10k instead.…

Race #1995k #612022 Race #72022 5k #3Whole Fitness 5k #1 This race served as a bit of a tempo interval in the long run, making up for some tempo miles that I had to “skip” earlier that week. Originally, I had planned to use a 5k at my alma mater for this purpose since we…

Race #198Half Marathon #722022 Race #62022 Half Marathon #3North Carolina Half Marathon #11Asheville Half Marathon #2 I meant to write this recap a lot closer to race day so that the details would not be as fuzzy in my mind. However, a lot of my habits have changed over the past year or so but…

Race #1965k #592022 Race #42022 5k #1Red, White, and Blue Shoes 5k #9 I didn’t realize until after the race that I last ran this race in 2018. (I ran Peachtree last year. The race was cancelled the year before. In 2019, I took a flight to Europe on that day.) Both Mom and I…

Race #195Marathon #14Country #3 (USA, Italy, Canada)2022 Race #32022 Marathon #1Ottawa Marathon #1 I wanted big things from this marathon. I knew I had a ways to go before I was in shape to chase a BQ. I envisioned this race as a step towards that as at least a sub four, hopefully somewhere around…

Race #194Half Marathon #712022 Race #22022 Half Marathon #2South Carolina Half Marathon #52Race for the Green Half Marathon #2 Mom and I ran this half together. I did not remember much about this race, save for the absurdly large medal, since the last time I ran back in 2019. I had registered for 2020 but…

Race #193Half Marathon #702022 Race #12022 Half Marathon #1South Carolina Half Marathon #51Greenville Half Marathon #8 I need to start this recap with a small disclaimer. For the first time since I started writing race recaps, I did not sit down on the day of or the day after to write my recap of this…
