    Runner’s World Half Marathon Recap 10/21/12

    What an amazing weekend!!!! Today was the Runner’s World Half Marathon, which was my first “official” Half Marathon. I went into the race with certain expectations, but most of all I tried not to get all stressed out about having to finish with a certain time. The race was not an easy course by any…

  • Runner’s World 5K Recap 10/20/12

    The last 3 days are starting to catch up with me! Even so, I feel as though I am living in a dream world having got to meet so many people  over that time. I think that my video says it better than I ever could here tonight, I am just too tired to write…

  • Meeting Shalane Flanagan

    I was going through my draft posts and found 2 Runner’s World posts that never got published! In the furor of the Runner’s World Festival, returning home, trying to catch-up with everything that I missed and then deciding to switch A Veteran Runnah to a self-hosted blog – I didn’t finish this post. Bart Yasso…

  • Looking at the #RWHalf Courses

    I just got back from looking at the Runner’s World Half, 10K and 5K courses, which I will be running 2 of this weekend. I had been hearing rumors and innuendo about how hilly the courses are, it worried me a little. I don’t mind running hills and live in Maine so hills are just…

  • Feeling Ready After Todays Runs 10-18-12

    This morning has been very hectic, trying to do things remotely that need to get done, and try to temper my excitement about the Runner’s World Half and 5K, this weekend. Finally, it got to the point where I just needed to go for a run to burn off some excess energy and give the…

  • Going to Bethlehem for the #RWHalf

    The past 24 hours have been what you could call crazy busy. I packed for the #RWHalf trip and trying to get all the last-minute stuff that needs to get done before going on a 5 day trip. Did I get it all done – hell no! However, I got more done than I thought…

  • 4.0 Mile Taper Run–Getting Ready for #RWHalf

    The taper for #RWHalf and 5K continues. I ran 4.0 miles at a comfortable pace, no pushing allowed . I felt really good the entire run and could have easily picked it up a lot – surprisingly even up Steven’s Hill if I had wanted to – the hill that is my nemesis. I just…

  • AVR Week In Review 10/14/12

    Today Today’s run was scheduled to be a 6.0 mile easy run, but I chose to do 3.0 instead. I don’t need the mileage for any particular total, so it made sense to just do enough to get over 40.0 miles for the week. It was 48, overcast and damp, so I decided to wear…

  • Nice Recovery Day Run 10/13/12

    Today’s run was simply to get a good recovery run in after yesterday’s long run. I felt pretty good and really had to work to slow down, instead of just running. I wanted to get over 4.0 miles in and stay around a 9:00 minute pace. I almost slowed down to the 9:00 minute pace…
