Interesting Weekend – Beach Ford 5k And A Marathon Training Run
Somewhat last minute (i.e. a couple of hours before the race), I decided to run the All American Beach Ford 5k — a well established event put on by the Kingston Elementary PTA in the Kings Grant subdivision of Virginia Beach. I was planning a Saturday morning 5 or 6 miler anyway, so figured a [...]
I’m Back! The Inaugural All Access 5k
Just a quick post to celebrate my return to racing after six weeks with a stress fracture and a further two of easy recovery running. I wasn’t sure what to expect with (a) no speed in my legs whatsoever (b) no runs on asphalt for eight weeks and (c) much race-rustiness in the system. I [...]

Start of race:
Note how fast 11 year old [...]
