I’m not sure if you all know this, but I hate the 10K distance. I never run it, and when I do, I’m reminded of how completely stupid it is. Don’t argue with me. It’s dumb. It’s basically a 5K that’s extended. You get to redline and...

My original A race for the year is in the books! I registered for the Celebration Half Marathon a while ago and was counting it as an A race for 2018. This was before I knew I would be running Chicago, but I’ve got time to make that an A race too. Last weekend...

*Spoiler Alert* I won a 5K! Yes, you read that right. And yes this is the right blog. You haven’t stumbled upon one of the super, duper speedy ladies. It’s just me, Beth. Let’s back story this bitch, shall we? On Thanksgiving I really wanted to run...

I feel as though I haven’t written a lot about coaching on this space, which is odd, because I’ve been officially coaching athletes for almost two full years now. I believe I have been swim coaching for longer, but I can’t quite remember which...

I may have finally learned my lesson that just because you get a free entry, you shouldn’t necessarily do the race. Yep. That’s how this report is going to go. Ha! The Phil Doganiero 3 Bridge Race is exactly as described. A half marathon with three...

I don’t think I’ve introduced you all to our new family member, Florence + the Muttchine. Florence, or Flo as we sometimes call her, is either 1 or 2 years old. The folks at the Humane Society weren’t quite sure. We don’t know her breed, nor do...
