by Byline to Finish Line
posted January 11, 2011 at 12:25pm
This was not the race I had planned.
It was not the race I had trained for or prepared for. It was not the race I wanted.

Race report: Turkey Trot 2010
by Byline to Finish Line
posted November 27, 2010 at 12:40pm
On the bus ride to the starting line, I turned to Sue and admitted what I was feeling:
I don’t want to race.
The statement came with a full pout that was both audible and visual in nature. I just wanted to run 8K, not race 8K. Couldn’t I have arrang...more

My parents were perched on the top of the bleachers, giving them a view for a good quarter mile of the runners heading back toward the finish line.
“I think I see Amy,” mom said.
Dad looked at his watch, then looked up.
“No.”
“Yes,” mom sa...more

posted November 1, 2010 at 1:04pm
In the distance was the red glow of the finishing line clock. The numbers were barely visible to my eyes, blurred with a mixture of tearing from the wind and sweat from my fleece headband. But one thing was unmistakable — the clock had not turned an hou...more

Remember how I said I wanted to just take it easy during the Baltimore half? Go slow and enjoy the race?

posted October 18, 2010 at 1:52pm
The tone of disgust was unmistakable. On all fours, scrambling up the side of an extremely muddy hill, climbing over fallen tree logs, the voice came from behind me.
“Is this a joke?”
On the inside, I smiled.
I would have smiled on the outside, but...more

posted August 16, 2010 at 12:00pm
For some reason, I tend to pick triathlons in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of nowhere and just out far enough to warrant an overnight stay for my comfort and sanity (and for the comfort and sanity of those around me).

Race report: Mud Run

posted August 3, 2010 at 3:41pm
Actually, this more of an event report than a race report. See I don’t exactly race cross country events. I participate. I leave the racing to others. In fact, I leave the fast trail running to others. When I try to pick up the pace or even match the pa...more
