Last weekend I did a thing. I finished my third half iron distance triathlon. I highly recommend this race. I do not recommend finishing it the way I did. So here's what happened, and what didn't. I make it no secret that I live with depression. There were some events in my life that made… Continue reading Mi Titanium 2018

Gazelle Girl Half Marathon, a Race Report
Current situation: soaking in my tub with the water just the right temperature with loads of epsom salt. Ten hours ago I was getting ready to head to the race.

I wasn't even planning to do the Bayshore Marathon this year. Â My daughter signed up, hoping for redemption from her… Continue reading Bayshore: Marathon No. 10
Wo-Zha-Wa Run — race report
I hadn’t planned to run the Wo-Zha-Wa Run, a small race in Wisconsin Dells, WI (Saturday, September 17, 2016). Total finishers in 2016 numbered 111 for the half marathon.  There is also a 4 Mile Run; 145 finished that. It was the 5th largest field in its history.  Like I said, it’s a small race.… Continue reading Wo-Zha-Wa Run — race report
