Race Recaps – Page 7 – RD on the Run

I remember being at Cedar Point one year, when I realized that walking around the park was almost a 3 mile journey, thinking "It would be so cool to run a 5k at Cedar Point!" The next year, the Chris Smith Memorial 5k was started... a 5k race through Cedar Point. Since then, I have… Continue reading Race Recap: Cedar Point Millennium Force 5k

Race Recap: The Chip River Run 2015

May 17, 2015May 31, 2015 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

This is my third year running this race, and every year it has been so very different. Not only the course but the conditions. Each year presents its own challenges, but this year... this year was definitely the most challenging. My lack of posts coincides with my lack of training. I have been seriously slacking.… Continue reading Race Recap: The Chip River Run 2015

Race Recap: Go the Extra Mile for Covenant Kids

April 26, 2015 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I had every excuse not to run today. I haven't run since April 3rd. I'm still trying to get over an illness. I had plans to go try on bridesmaid dresses with my friend 90 minutes away from where I live. My new friends from church encouraged me to run the race. At first I said,… Continue reading Race Recap: Go the Extra Mile for Covenant Kids

Race Recap: A 10k On My Own

March 28, 2015 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I wanted to run in a race every month this year, but between schedule conflicts and budget constraints, I wasn't able to register for a race in March. I was determined, though, to run a race. Particularly to run a 10k. So I mapped out a route from my house, set my Endomondo to race… Continue reading Race Recap: A 10k On My Own

Race Recap: Winterlaufe 2015 8k

February 8, 2015January 6, 2018 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

"It'll be fun!" she said. "Just a few little hills!" she said. Those were the thoughts going through my head as I climbed the first "little hill" in the 2015 Winterlaufe race and saw rolling hills ahead of me. More than just a few. And not little! As you might recall, one of my goals… Continue reading Race Recap: Winterlaufe 2015 8k

Race Recap: The Snowman’s 5k

February 2, 2015January 6, 2018 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

We are more than a month into the New Year, and I have gotten a great start to my Goals for 2015.

Race Recap: The Little Foot Run 5k

June 15, 2014January 6, 2018 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

Last year, this race kicked my butt. This year, I OWNED it. I had both better training and the weather on my side. It was 11 degrees cooler this year compared to last year. I have been running on average about 8-10 miles per week, in June 2013 I was only running 4-5. Oh yeah,… Continue reading Race Recap: The Little Foot Run 5k

Race Recap: Chip River Run 2014

May 4, 2014January 6, 2018 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

Yesterday I ran my first race since my 10k back in March. In the meantime, I have really been "banking the miles" (I'll post an update on that later!) and staying very active. There were a few races in between that I could have done, but because we are trying to save money to fix… Continue reading Race Recap: Chip River Run 2014

Yep, you read that title right. I ran my first 10k today! You might remember the post I made about a month ago about the freezing cold race that I ran on February 15th, The Ice Cube 5k.

Public Humiliation Update

May 12, 2013January 6, 2018 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

At the beginning of this year, I posted about the Public Humiliation Diet that one of my friends posted on Facebook. Along with it, I posted my weight, my thoughts on dieting, and my goals for myself. On 1/3/13, I weighed178.4#. I was just barely starting to run again. I was using MyFitnessPal here and… Continue reading Public Humiliation Update

A Goal Accomplished!

April 20, 2013January 6, 2018 Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't sure what my day would bring. It was cold outside, cold enough for snow. I hadn't gotten in any running in the last week because of work circumstances way beyond my control - more on that some other time. I wasn't completely sure of myself... but I… Continue reading A Goal Accomplished!
