What a treat to see the kids get recognized for their efforts from the Sole Challenge! Walker won a raffle prize for a new party zone in town. Mason received a gift certificate to Sky Zone for a fastest finish in the 1.9 mile race for fourth grade. Our principal, Mrs. Whetstine and Mr. Wagner […]
For the first time since the race started three years ago, it was dry for the Sole Challenge. The pack was thick at the start. I don’t know what treasure Mason found but running with friends along the river is always makes for a pleasant experience. I even got in on the action. I have […]
The Evansville Half Marathon has a special place in my heart. With our busy schedule, I wasn’t really sure I would be able to do it this year. I half-heartedly trained, signed up later than usual and showed up not knowing exactly how I would do. I met up with these lovely ladies at the […]
Last night was the second annual Sole Challenge race at St. John’s. Last year we were missed it because we were otherwise committed to attend a very special nursing ceremony so we were ever so much more excited about this year’s race. To rally the school spirit, anyone who was participating could wear the Sole […]
Running along the Ohio River is one of my favorite ways to start the day. We are just 1.2 miles from the river path and I enjoy taking in the sights while I run. Today the water was remarkably high but even more noteworthy was the location of this barge and tug. I don’t recall […]
While out on my run with my buddy, I stopped along the Ohio to take a few pictures of how high the Ohio River was. If you look at this picture, you can see the white deck sticking out in the water. Here it is from the other direction. It’s the patio for a riverfront […]
Last month when I posted about the half marathon in October, I alluded to a monthly ten mile run. Sometime at the end of last year, I decided that I wanted to have a running goal for 2014. At some point in the future, I would like to run longer distances again but in the […]
I did it. I’m a double digit half marathoner. I never imagined seven years ago when I signed up to run my first half marathon that I would one day be able to say I have run ten. Yes, ten! This was a very different race for me. I did not use a training plan […]
Our local running shop, Swift Athletics, sponsors a 10 mile race to raise awareness of galactosemia. I have wanted to run it for several years but have always had scheduling conflicts. Wouldn’t you know that last year it was 50 degrees and today it was closer to 30 at the finish! Oh well! Kristy and […]
I got up early after our marathon day in Indy to go for a long run with Kristy who is training for her second marathon. It was a beautiful morning! We logged 10 miles and then headed home. Our family plan was to start decorating. It did feel a little odd to have leftover turkey […]
