Hi friends & Happy Summer!

I kicked off summer ’17 with the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) 10K, the second event of three events in the B.A.A. Distance Medley. I ran the 5K in April and plan on running the half marathon in October!

For those of you considering a trip to Boston, I highly recommend planning a race weekend around one of these B.A.A. races. People of all ages and abilities are welcome, but as you can imagine it is a fast course, with even faster elites at the front. Some of the best athletes in the world come out for the B.A.A. races and it is so exciting to be in the same field as them. And I’m somewhere in the middle! Here’s my recap:

Race Recap: 2017 B.A.A. 5K

April 16 , 2017 2 Comments

Boston Marathon weekend is arguably most Bostonians’ favorite weekend of the year: spring is starting to feel REAL after months of cold and snow, and the sun shines bright for our Boston Marathon guests from around the world.

Since I’m a charity coordinator for a Boston Marathon team and have plenty of other work obligations in April, I am so busy that I typically let my running fall by the wayside. This year I decided to make training a priority, especially knowing I have to stay in good running shape for my first marathon – the 2018 Walt Disney World Marathon! As a result, I signed up for the B.A.A. 5K, on Saturday, April 15th. This was a particularly special day to race, as April 15th is also known in Boston as One Boston Day, a tribute to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. It is a reflective day, but also one of hope and togetherness.
