I absolutely LOVE Washington D.C. and was so excited to head back down for the Marine Corps Marathon this year – on top of it Jason was coming! He hadn’t been able to make the trip for my previous Marine Corps Marathon or when I did the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run so I was excited to … Continue reading
With several fall races coming up I’ve been trying to do a little race trip planning! Hartford is pretty easy, it’s not so much a “destination” trip as a trip home.

I’m not sure if I had mentioned it before or not, but a few weeks ago some friends and I entered the lottery for the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run and this morning we found out WE GOT IN! I’ve heard great things about this race and had been looking for another race in DC … Continue reading
I feel like I always struggle to write full marathon recaps. How do you write down the mental, emotional and physical experience of a 26.2 mile journey by foot?!?
