Christopher Daily 5K Turkey Trot (2011)
The final race in my series of 10 (now 11 actually) to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was the Christopher Daily Turkey Trot. This is a 5K race in Saratoga Springs NY, near where my parents live and this is the third year my family has participated in the race. It was not … Continue reading
Shelter Island 5K
This one I was talked into doing less than a week before the event. My wife and a couple friends of ours signed up because there is a champagne brunch included with the entry fee. So this is my #10 of 10 events to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Because of recovery … Continue reading
Remission Rocks – 5K
For event #9 of 10 to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I ran a 5K charity that benefits the LLS through Team in Training. How meta is that? My friend Brad from the VineTeam put on this short trail race as part of his fundraising for IronMan New Zealand in 2012 (he’s raising … Continue reading
City to the Sea 1/2 Marathon (again)
This was event 8 of 10 to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in memory of my friend Adam Milne. In 2007, I ran this same half and have been wanting to repeat it ever since because it is a fast, fun course (and is my half marathon PR). Originally thought I could … Continue reading
Big Sur Marathon (again)
When my wife completed her first marathon in early 2009 she said she never wanted to do that again. Having known that feeling, I told her she’d change her mind in about two weeks. It only took a few days before she was talking about doing another one but it took almost two years to … Continue reading
Boston Marathon 2011
This was the second event of 10 I am doing to fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in memory of my friend Adam D. Milne. The last few weeks of training which included some 20+ mile runs did not go well. I started exhibiting the classic overtraining symptoms: difficulty keeping pace during workouts, high … Continue reading
San Dieguito Half Marathon
March 23rd of this year will mark ten years since my Friend Adam D. Milne lost his battle with Leukemia. To honor his memory, I am trying to raise $10,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through Team In Training. Officially, the Vineman Half Ironman is the fundraising event, but I want to do something … Continue reading
Scripps Ranch 4 Miler
Scripps Ranch was celebrating it’s 40th anniversary by putting on a 4-mile road race. This is kind of a unique distance and since I had been training for a 10K and 5K recently, I figured a 4 miler would be a pretty good distance to try out. Come racing morning though, I just didn’t feel … Continue reading
Christopher Daily Turkey Trot (5K)
Last year, I ran this same race at the end of a tough season that had really taken a toll on me. Surprisingly, I ended up taking third in my age group, but didn’t even realize it until I was back in California. This year, since I had recently been doing a lot of speed … Continue reading
Miramar MCAS Monster Dash (10K)
Being more of an endurance guy, I never really train for shorter distances (e.g. 10K), instead I end up running them as part of training for marathons or as the run leg of triathlons. Maybe I’ve lead on about this already, but if not, in the last year I’ve been consumed by the fear of … Continue reading
