It was hard not to be excited about this one, my first leg in the Tuna Run 200!  A 200-mile relay, and I'm about to run about 5 1/2 of those.  The weather was terrific:  sunny, slight breeze, and not too hot - yet.

200 miles.  12 runners.  2 drivers.  Volunteers.  Fun.

This was an entirely new kind of adventure for me and most everyone on our team.  The Tuna Run 200 is a 36-leg, 200.87-mile run through Eastern North Carolina.  We had 12 runners on this adventure, plus drivers and volunteers.


The race began Friday morning, continued through Friday night and into Saturday, and we finished Saturday afternoon at Atlantic Beach.

Race Report: Run for Green Half Marathon (2014)

The Run for Green Half Marathon is one I've looked forward to for a few months.  After the NC Half Marathon, I had hoped to run another in June, but this late September race is the first I could find on the calendar.

Race Report: Streetlight 5K (2014)

Two or three times a year, Concord Parks and Rec hosts a community 5K and fun run.  This one, the Streetlight 5K, is coupled with the Firefly Festival.  The weather was excellent, and my Sunday running buddy and I thought we'd tackle this one.

Race Report: Edison Square 5K (2014)

The first ever Edison Square 5K kicked off this June in the Winding Walk neighborhood in Charlotte.  With over 100 participants in this neighborhood race, it was a strong turnout that raised over $4,000 in the fight against cystic fibrosis.
