Cough, Cough
That is all. I am still coughing.
Seattle Marathon 10k: Come join me!
Falling on August 22 this year, the Seattle Marathon 10k is a great build up for Seattle Half or Full marathon training. It’s an fast course with great use of the park! (more…)
Eat Run Hope
Last year, I decided to run a last minute 5k so I could eat! No surprise there. And while I expected the food to be amazing in the Ethan Stowell hosted event, I didn’t expect the 5k to be so organized, as most 5ks I run don’t have chip timers nor even a real finish line, and those don’t have food fests that follow! Plus, the Fetal Health Foundation is a truly worthy cause to support. With Eat Run Hope, I stumbled upon a great 5k all on its own with the bonus of an amazing food (and drink) fest. This year, you should join Team Pugnacious for this great event and cause.
Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon
Last Saturday was the Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon. I’m not sure whose idea it was to run a full marathon so early in the season, but we did it! And despite a horrible cough, lackluster training, and general unpreparedness, the marathon wasn’t so bad. We oddly met my original goal of being on my feet for 6 and 1/2 hours without even trying.
2015 Running Focus
Every year I have a new focus for my running. In 2011, I just wanted to run my first race and figure out what this running this is all about. Check. In 2012, I worked on my speed so I wouldn’t freeze during the Polar Night Half in January of 2014. Check. In 2014, I worked on growing my distance to the Full Marathon for Dopey, strengthening for the back to back runs, and finishing with a smile on my face. With lots of speed workout and temp runs, check! For 2015, I am working on three things that I hope will work together for a fun race in Medoc: the fastest 10k time possible, getting comfortable with 26.2 miles, and running with booze.
Seattle Marathon Early Bird Rate Through May 31
I’m currently on my way to a wedding in Wilmington, North Carolina. I wrote this post ahead of time, much like I wrote the last post ahead of time. Wrote four at the same time, so there is still one more surprise. Don’t want to post a million things on one day and then ignore my public for nine months, right? This is just a reminder to my two readers that the Seattle Marathon fees go up soon! Very Soon!
