Run Revolution

The Seattle Marathon was my first half marathon over 10 years ago (read my experience here). It’s a yearly tradition for me and my dad to run, but this year, due to my hamstring injury, I had to resort to being a spectator. This was not easy! This race is Thanksgiving weekend (read my review [...]

It’s that time of year again…race time. I have done (at least) one race/month for the entire year, but I haven’t done a big race since qualifying for Boston in June at the Seattle Rock and Roll. Summer is typically my time off  (because I am such a hard core and experienced runner-ha) with my [...]

After running two marathons in two months, I am officially in the “off-season.” I have no major race scheduled until October (Nike Women’s Half marathon), and after training and running one half-marathon (Seattle), two marathons (Seattle Rock and Roll and Boston), a 10k (March 4th fun run), two 5k’s (Jingle Bell Run and St. Patty’s [...]

It was actually perfect running conditions: overcast and 50′s at race start, and the sun had come out for the finish line festivities (read here about this year’s [...]

It’s a new course this year for Seattle’s Rock and Roll Marathon and Half Marathon. As a Seattlite who has run the old course (half marathon) and is running the full marathon this year, I am pretty excited. The old course started in Renton, which is south of Seattle, and very inconvenient to get to [...]

A little more than two weeks to go until Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon and Half Marathon. It’s a new course this year, which I am very excited about (starting, and finishing, at the Seattle Center instead of totally out of the way Tukwila). I have talked about how much I like the Rock and [...]

It’s official. I just got off the phone with Rock and Roll Seattle headquarters and have changed my half marathon entry to a full marathon. My body, only three weeks since it ran Boston, is not fully recovered, and I have mixed feelings about this. Do I know what I am doing? Not really, but [...]
