A few weeks ago I ran my first destination race–the NYC Half Marathon. I am pretty pleased with how everything went, and want to take note of a few things I did right and a few I might do differently next time–since I already know there will be a next time! I hope these lessons from my first destination race are helpful, and would love to hear your tips for destination racing.
This weekend I ran my third race of 2017–the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run. It’s my 6th year in a row running this race (I think my 7th time altogether), and I’ve almost figured out how to conquer Hains Point. Maybe next time?
I was so happy to see trees still in bloom around Hains Point!
It’s also my 5th year working behind the scenes for the Cherry Blossom Blog and fundraising for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals–a big thank you to everyone who donated and helped me exceed my goal!
No foolin’, it’s time for the Ultimate Coffee Date Link Up! Join us as we imagine we are getting together for coffee (or tea, or your favorite relaxing beverage), and share what’s going on in our lives. It’s a chance to get to know each other better and support each other in all our endeavors. Since it’s no fun to have coffee alone, make sure you leave comments on other blogs in the link up, and don’t forget to visit my co-host Deborah at Confessions Of A Mother Runner.

My spring racing season is in full swing, which means I have lots of things to fess up to for this edition of the Runfessions linkup that Marcia hosts for us every month.
Since we’re still in Lent, I am going to be brutally honest, but still focus on five transgressions so I can join the Friday Five 2.0 linkup hosted by Rachel and Lacey and Miranda for hosting the new Friday Five 2.0!
If you saw my post from last weekend, you know the short version of my United NYC Half race recap: My pacing sucked, the concrete sucked, I wanted to quit, but I somehow crossed the finish line at 1:53:52! Now for the rest of the story.
