Secondly, the race has its history in a rich […]
People often ask which race is our favorite race, and I respond that it is like trying to pick my favorite child – I love them all but for very different reasons. The Jamestown course tho…… it is a STUNNER!
I am reading this book that was given to me by my niece, Runners High. I will say that I am not a pot smoker, or weed advocate, or anything like that, so I put off reading it until I was fresh out of a beach read and needed something until I could get to […]
We have started this series where we give a quick overview as to what to expect on race day. With our summer classic next month – the Independence Rhode Race – we wanted to take some time here to focus on this event. This half marathon originated in 2015 as part of the famous Bristol […]
