  • Surfer’s Path 10K – 11/8/2015 and Avengers’s Half – 11/15/2015

    reiszfam

    The Surfer’s Path 10K was eons ago now (way back in November) and, at this point, the details are hazy. But, I did get new 10K PR. Official stats are as follows: Overall: 30 of 464 (6.4%) Gender: 7 of 323 (2.2%) Age Group/Division (40-49): 2 of 92 (2.2%) Start Time: 08:00:08 Elapsed: 00:47:59 Pace:… Read more

  • a whole new Wharf to Wharf experience

    reiszfam

    first Wharf to WharfOriginally uploaded by coffywoman. This year, I ran the 6-mile Wharf to Wharf with my 9-year old! He barely trained. We started doing 1-mile training runs way back in June (June 7th was our first run), but that lasted all of 3 weeks, with only 4 runs in total with the last… Read more

  • Surfer’s Path Marathon PR – 5/17/2015 and SC Half PR

    reiszfam

    I haven’t been keeping up with any blogging of late as it has been remarkably busy–needing sleep seems to be a problem! Anyway, I ran a marathon this year because…well, I don’t know why. The last time I ran a marathon, I was so beat by mile 20, I vowed I would never run that… Read more

  • 2014 mile goal reached!

    reiszfam

    I can’t remember when I really started to hustle towards the running mileage goal (850 miles this year), but when I finally came to the realization that I only had x weeks left and I’d have to run over 20 miles each week to make the goal, I was unsure if I’d make it. But,… Read more

  • 2014 Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot – PR

    reiszfam

    This year’s run resulted in a new PR — my first 10K PR since the 2008 Almaden Classic where I ran 50:23)! For the record, I wasn’t really trying for a PR. The Turkey Trot is such a crowded race, I figured I’d be in a clump of runners and, therefore, slowed a bit by… Read more

  • Inaugural Disneyland Avenger’s Half Marathon near PR – 11/16/2014

    reiszfam

    Ok. Missed my PR by 7 seconds, but I started so close to the start line (took 9 seconds to cross start line) and I placed 4th in my division (F45-49) which is the highest I’ve ever placed in a large race! So, I’m happy. I think if it weren’t so windy, I probably would… Read more

  • Inaugural Surfer’s Path 10K – 11/9/2014 almost a new 10K PR

    reiszfam

    I am trying to make my annual mileage goal of 850 miles and I like inaugural races–it’s always nice to start a new running tradition–so, at the very last minute (meaning, 13 mins. before Registration closed on the last day of packet pick-up), I registered for the Inaugural Surfer’s Path 10K. I had just run… Read more

  • San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll – 10/06/2014

    reiszfam

    We were in the middle of a heat-wave during this year’s Rock ‘n’ Roll, so I already bet from the get-go that I would not be getting a PR. And so it went! I started out in corral 5 and Tom started with me (though he was assigned to Corral 4). Actually, we were so… Read more

  • Disneyland Half – 8/31/2014

    reiszfam

    No PR, but I’m happy with my results. I think this is the first time I’ve come in within the top 5% in a large race–but, of course, the Disneyland Half demographic is probably skewed more towards beginning or “casual” runners, so I’m sure it’s a slower group overall. Still, I walked a lot. It… Read more
