Strong Beer, Strong Legs, STRONG Weekend!

This post is coming to you from the plane back to Denver from Phoenix, where I spent an epic weekend visiting Adam. It was honestly one of the best weekends ever, and the only downsides were that I didn’t get enough sleep and also had to get up at 4am in order to catch my flight home 🙁 But I didn’t want to go! On the mad dash to the airport this morning (Adam and I both agreed it was like old times when we always had the Monday morning consulting commute-by-air), there wasn’t really time to stop for coffee …

Night Before the Race: Melbourne Music Marathon

Melbourne Marathon Expo on Beach

What a fantastic weekend! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you already know how thrilled I am with Sunday’s race results… but I have to say, going into it I wasn’t feeling all too confident. Thursday night, I was lucky enough to have dinner at a restaurant I’ve been trying forever to get into, Marmalade. It’s a bit pricey because it’s prix-fixe, but the food is fantastic! If you are ever going to Old San Juan, I would definitely recommend it as worthwhile to try to make a reservation – though know that it can be a little …

Night Before the Race: Prince of Wales Island Marathon

running, travel / Leave a Comment

So you already know about my day exploring the island and getting to meet people at all the businesses in town. But I wanted to still do a proper “night before the race” post, especially given how impressed I was with the race organizers for their fantastic night before the race festivities. Upon walking into the Craig Tribal Association where the dinner was being held, I was immediately impressed by the decorations. Lining the walkway to the main room were coloring book-type pictures of the race logo, which had been colored in and signed by local kids. The best part …

Race Report: Colfax Marathon

This is a delayed race report; I ran the Colfax Marathon on May 18. I knew going into the weekend that it was going to be a fairly low-key one, since most of my friends in Colorado weren’t going to be in town. In spite of that, though, Friday ended up being pretty busy after all – I took a cool training class on the retail/consumer products industry, attended an all-advisory meet-and-greet lunch at the office, worked on a really fascinating new proposal, and also stopped by the Colfax Marathon expo. I had agreed to pick up the packets for …

Night Before the Race: New York City Marathon

running / 3 Comments

This year, like every other time I’ve run the New York City Marathon, I’ll be writing my recap in multiple posts. This marathon is too amazing for me not to share every single detail! But this year, unlike every other time I’ve run the New York City Marathon, I will be actually completing the multiple posts, instead of just leaving you hanging. Hooray! (And in bonus good news, I just found a whole bunch of almost-complete-but-never-published race reports on my old 2009 netbook, so perhaps you’ll even get the 2009 and 2010 New York City Marathon race reports sometime soon.) The …
