Race Report: NC Half Marathon at Charlotte Motor Speedway (2014)

My first half marathon!

I've run a few 5Ks and 10Ks, and I figured it was time to take on the next challenge.  A few years ago I created a list of goals for myself, and running a half marathon was on the list.  After fits and starts of running over the past few years, this year felt like the one.

Race Report: UNCC 49er Gold Rush 5K (2014)

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) puts on the 49er Gold Rush 5K every year.  It's 3.1 miles through the campus, up a crushing hill, and then back to the starting point.  The start/finish was in the new stadium.

Race Report: Belk Bowl 5K (2013)

In my last post I mentioned how terrific winter weather in the South can be.  I take it back.

Race Report: Frostbite 5K (2013)

It was a cold and frigid winter day...not really. :)

Race Report: Run Run Rudolph 10K (2013)

I feel like I've been doing pretty well with the 5K distance, and my morning running continues to go well.  It's a bit cold from time to time, but I felt ready to try out my first 10K - twice the distance I've raced before and looking forward to trying out my legs on a longer distance.

Race Report: Harrisburg 5K (2012)

What a nice time!  That's probably the best way to describe this race.  The weather was very nice, the people were super friendly, and it was a great time.

Race Report: Blue Points 5K (2009)

Blue Points is a health insurance wellness initiative, and was a great excuse to get out to the Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, for a run. While I ran a race in 2008, my exercise regimen has slipped significantly in the past year and I thought I'd be lucky to wheeze across the finish line. By my count it had been over 400 days since my last run.
