It's hard to work on your marathon pace when your constantly running hills, so this week I finally drove myself to some flats on the south shore of Long Island. But before that, somehow, I raced again. [Tweet "Finally flat! Check out the details of my 16 miler! #sweatpink #runchat"] The Sayville Summer Fest 4 miler is a mainstay on our race calendar, so we of course found ourselves sucked in to something we ideally wouldn't want to be … [Read more...]
Weekend Race Recap + Running Long {and Hilly!}
So there was a small race involved in this weekend--a 3x2 mile relay! It was Sunday evening and followed by a BBQ dinner for the whole family!

Osprey's Dominion has always been welcoming, and their 4 acre field overlooking the grape vines is often filled with families enjoying … [Read more...]
Weekend Race Recap + Taking It One Hill at a Time
I seem to get sucked in to these races that I've been a part of for years even when I'm not supposed to be racing! This past weekend I was scheduled for 8 miles as part of my condensed marathon training plan, but ended up racing in Sayville Running Company's Race to Cure Cystic Fibrosis 4 miler on Saturday.
