Over the last couple of months, I have become good friends with a few people in the running group that I am a part of on Facebook. While we have hung out a few times and gotten together for trail running, we haven't been able to run a race together yet. This weekend we remedied… Continue reading Race Recap: Kensington Marathon 10k & Banking the Miles Update

Race Recap: Canadian Lakes 5k 2016
It's hard to believe that 4th of July weekend is already upon us. My family is enjoying the holiday weekend up at my parents' house. And once again the association where my parents live put on a 5k fun run/walk! The race followed the same course as last year and wasn't officially timed. Last year… Continue reading Race Recap: Canadian Lakes 5k 2016
Race Recap: 2016 Bee Healthy for Life 10k
Every year in June, the hospital that I work for puts on a 5k/10k race. Last year was my first time running the race, and I ran the 5k with my boss... it was his first official 5k race, and I set my own PR that day! When I signed up for the race this year,… Continue reading Race Recap: 2016 Bee Healthy for Life 10k
Race Recap: Millennium Force 5k 2016
Once again, leading up to one of my favorite races of the year, I was paranoid about the weather. The weather forecast for Saturday June 11th in Sandusky, OH was severe thunderstorms and 90 degrees. Not ideal for running a 5k in the roller coaster capital of the world... and definitely not idea for riding… Continue reading Race Recap: Millennium Force 5k 2016
Race Recap: 5/3rd River Bank Run 5k
One of my closest friends is also a runner and a dietitian like I am. She recently moved to the west side of the state, going from 20 minutes away from me to 2 hours away. I have definitely missed my sushi and wine loving running buddy! So when she was down to run the… Continue reading Race Recap: 5/3rd River Bank Run 5k
Race Recap: Go the Extra Miles for Covenant Kids Half Marathon
Today I ran my first half marathon. This race has been a few years in the making. I was signed up for a half marathon in November 2014, but due to personal reasons I wasn't able to run. I signed up for the same half a year later, but ended up with a nasty cough… Continue reading Race Recap: Go the Extra Miles for Covenant Kids Half Marathon
Race Recap: BARC St. Pat’s Races
I will admit, I have been in a funk the last couple of weeks. I have re-gained some of the weight that I worked so hard to lose, I haven't been running or working out so much, and my eating has been crappy. I had been doing great with my training plan (only one month… Continue reading Race Recap: BARC St. Pat’s Races
Race Recap: Winterlaufe 8k 2016
When I ran the Winterlaufe last year, I was super nervous going into it because I did not know what to expect, it was my first 8k race, and I had not been training faithfully leading up to the race. I had already done a 10k, so I don't know why I was so unsure of myself.… Continue reading Race Recap: Winterlaufe 8k 2016
Race Recap: BARC Freeze Your Fanny 5k
2016 is off to a great start for running! Although I have not exactly stuck to my training plan, I have been running 3-4 days per week. I find myself going to the gym thinking there's no way I can run 3 miles... and then I not only do 3 miles, but I do negative… Continue reading Race Recap: BARC Freeze Your Fanny 5k
Race Recap: BARC Christmas 5k
Well guys, I reached my goal! I ran a race every month during 2015. (Although if you want to be technical, in March I did not run an organized race - I just challenged myself to running a 10k on my own). My December race was the Bay Area Runners Club (BARC) Christmas 5k. This… Continue reading Race Recap: BARC Christmas 5k
Race Recap: Race for Makueni and Mid-Land 10ks
Hello friends. It sure has been a while. I have been really busy - in the beginning of October, I stood up in my best friend's wedding. And just like the last time I stood up in a friend's wedding, my training and eating went :::whoosh!::: right out the window! I hardly ran at all… Continue reading Race Recap: Race for Makueni and Mid-Land 10ks
Race Recap: Run For Your Heart 5k
My friends and family are wondering who I am, and what did I do with the "real" Megan, because I have started getting up at 4:30 in the morning... for BOOT CAMP. I started a boot camp workout class on Wednesday, and even on my days off from I am getting up no later than… Continue reading Race Recap: Run For Your Heart 5k
Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015
My last training run before the Crim was a tough 8.4 mile route up at my parents' place. When I got home from the run, I said to my parents, "I really hope adrenaline kicks in during the race because that was really rough." For the rest of the day I felt crappy. I had… Continue reading Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015
Race Recap: Canadian Lakes 5k Fun Run
Happy Independence Day everyone! Today I participated in a "Fun Run" put on by the association where my parents live. My parents bought our "cottage" (it is more like a second home) when I was in middle school, and I've had many summer memories here. I lived here while I was going to school at… Continue reading Race Recap: Canadian Lakes 5k Fun Run
Race Recap: St. Mary’s Bee Healthy for Life 5k
After my awesome performance at the Cedar Point race, I set my sights on training for a 10 mile race - my goal is to run the Crim this year. I have been super diligent about my training plan, and it is definitely paying off. I have been doing run/walk intervals... I'm sure there's mixed… Continue reading Race Recap: St. Mary’s Bee Healthy for Life 5k
