So, need to catch up on this blog! I noticed that I haven't posted on here since September of last year! Boy, I have been busy running since then. So here goes:
In October 2014 we did the Columbia Gorge Marathon in Hood River, Oregon. It was fantastic. Driving there from Southern California was a long, long haul, but the scenery was worth it! The marathon itself was a fall treat of cool temperatures, changing leaves, orchards, giant trees, the mighty Columbia River, rainbows, and fantastic views. It was phenomenal.
November of 2014 saw us doing Silver Strand Half in San Diego. Kind of a boring run, but it was great to see how far I had come since it was my first half in 2012. Come a long way, baby!
January of 2015, the month of resolutions. My resolution was to qualify for the Marathon Maniacs. So I resolved to do the Carlsbad Marathon, which I did, and then in February did the Surf City Marathon. Surf City was a lot of fun - expo was not great, but the run itself was great and the volunteers were fantastic.
In March we did my favorite half, the San Diego Half Marathon. This is such a great race, so well run and goes through the best parts of San Diego.
April was the month we did the San Luis Obispo Marathon. So much I could say about this one. The Saturday before the run it rained buckets, but the day itself dawned bright and clear...and windy. In fact there was a headwind for most of the race. It's a beautiful course, but challenging, and LOTS of hills. The volunteers were so awesome, though, best I've seen at any race.
May found us doing the Avocado Half Marathon in Fallbrook. Yikes. One of my least favorites. Not enough potties. Can't stress enough the importance of port-a-potties at a run. And, again, another hilly course.
June and July took a little break. Looking forward to a more informal run this weekend in Huntington Beach. Also got into the Big Sur Marathon in 2016...so excited for that! Anyway, that's all for now.
