Race Day! 3:19am – ouch, that is soooo early to be awake on purpose. But it’s finally here! The Tinkerbell half is finally here! I had set out my clothes the night before. I drug my tired booty out of bed and changed into my running clothes. Bari already had the hot water ready for [...]

Tinkerbell Half weekend – part 1
January 31st, 2012 bekkib73 Wow. This was probably the most fun I’ve had in a really long time. To say that I needed this weekend away is putting it mildly. I have so much to share about how awesome this weekend was, that I’m going to split it up into 2 posts. Friday I left around 9:30am. I had [...]
Run for Wishes 5K
November 5th, 2011 bekkib73 I’ve been resting up. Because want to be fresh and ready to start my full marathon training in a couple weeks. But I still want to run. Last month a friend of mine posted a 5K/10K race that he was helping to organize and promote – the Run for Wishes 5K/10K. The proceeds go to [...]
Wine Country Half Marathon – Race Recap
October 18th, 2011 bekkib73 This wasn’t my best race. (It wasn’t my worst either.) Saturday I went to the Kendall-Jackson Visitor Center and picked up my race packet. Pretty grapes.
Where did *that* PR come from?
August 29th, 2011 bekkib73 It’s the day that almost wasn’t. I’ve had some shitty training runs lately. Slow and painful. Mostly emotionally painful. I’ve been letting my brain beat me. Not only that, but this is my first race without him at the finish line cheering me on. My first race where I would be doing this all alone. [...]

The San Francisco Marathon – 1st Half
July 31st, 2011 bekkib73 I was so over the top excited to have the opportunity to run this half marathon! I want to make sure to give a special thanks to Sarah Stanley for making it happen! When I was first planning out the half marathons I wanted to run in 2011, this was one of them, but financially, [...]

Best runiversary ever!
July 5th, 2011 bekkib73 The Kenwood Footrace is billed as the oldest running 10k footrace in California! And this year marked the 40th year of this race! This was my 3rd consecutive year running it. How my runiversary came to be… In 2009 I decided to run the Kenwood Footrace 3k. It was hard and I hadn’t run more [...]
Reno Rock-n-River Half Marathon
May 2nd, 2011 bekkib73 This weekend and race was so over the top awesome, I don’t even know where to start! I realized this weekend that since the end of August 2010, I have now run 4 half marathons! That’s 4 half marathons in about 8 months! One of my goals for 2011 is to run 4 half marathons [...]

Kaiser Half Marathon
February 6th, 2011 bekkib73 I did it! I finished my first half marathon of 2011! (and 3rd overall.) Knight did it! He finished his first ever half marathon! I’ve been a bit worried about this race because I have not trained anywhere near what I needed to. I only did two 8 mile training runs, and one 11 miler [...]
Race Recap – Wine Country Half Marathon
October 13th, 2010 bekkib73 I ran the Wine Country Half Marathon on 10-10-10. I give you my race recap, or should I say, the consequences of my doing too much? In August, I ran the Santa Rosa half marathon, I felt strong the entire 13.1 miles. No pain. A minor bit of fatigue after 11 miles. I finished with a smile [...]
