Disclaimer: I had a good time at this race. If you’re looking for another bitter, Competitor-bashing, rage against Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas, you won’t find it here. Yes, things went wrong, and I have my critiques, as I do of any event, but overall it was very well run and I had a great […]
Day two of the foolhardy plan to run two marathons in one weekend brought me down to the Valley of Fire Marathon, appropriately enough in Valley of Fire State Park, in Overton NV, about an hour southwest of Mesquite. As with Saturday’s Mesquite Tri-State, Valley of Fire is also run by Planet Ultra – and […]
Now that was one impressively run race. The Mesquite “Tri-States” Marathon may have had some issues in the past, but the race I ran this morning was awesome from start to finish. I’m not sure exactly what the hubbub was all about, but somewhere along the lines Mammoth Marathons, who used to run this event, […]
Hangin’ on the corner of 52nd and Broadway cars passin’ by but none of them seem to go my way… New York City; well I wish I was on a highway back to Olympia… This past weekend was the forty first running of the New York City Marathon. Geoffrey Mutai, Emmanuel Mutai, and Tsegaye Kebede […]
This probably isn’t going to be the greatest reflection on my 2011 goals, but let’s just get down to it. Mileage – Holy breaking the consistency, Batman! After nine solid months consistently above my targeted minimum 104.131456 targeted average for the 2011 kilometer challenge, the taper and recovery of my first marathon in over a year […]
Yeah, we left Utah three weeks ago and settled in to Mesquite, NV for the winter. But then the organizers of the Provo Halloween Half Marathon started a big push of Facebook ads1, which, coupled with a rude awakening of the cost of a weekend of Vegas parties for Halloween weekend, looked like an awesome […]
Guest post by Ceridwen, a.k.a The Wife The Nike Women’s Marathon This is probably the largest race I’ve ever done. I’ve run Philly twice, and that is about 20,000 people. NWM was 22,000, so they’re basically comparable. This fact will become relevant shortly. Because I do not run marathons as frequently as Keath, we decided […]
Guest post by Ceridwen, a.k.a. the Wife Only a few days left until my second marathon! I’m mostly excited, but every once in awhile I’ll think about it and my heart will start to pound with nervousness rather than anticipation, but I’m sure I’m ready. My training has been going well and some of the […]
But Mousie, thou art no thy lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy! — Robert Burns, 17851 The Layton Marathon This race was excellent from start to finish. Slightly less awesome pre-start, but nothing […]
Honestly; I had no clue until I found out about this race last year. I was hoping to run the inaugural race, but wasn’t in the area1, but this year when my wife and I decided that we definitely wanted to be out of Washington before September, I shifted my fall marathon search east and […]
