Half Crazy Hamster
Half Marathons have been the preferred distance so far for this Crazy Hamster! I may not be fast, but I’m not last. I prefer to be able to enjoy the scenery and new places I get to scamper around!
So lets’ get going and run one in every state! It might take me a while, as that money tree that I planted as not started producing yet, but slow and steady finishes the race
Will I ever learn my lesson about running the hills in Kentucky?
One would THINK that after the Run The Bluegrass Half Marathon last year and it’s hills, I would have learned my lesson… After I finished that race, according to my watch, I had climbed 65 flights of stairs over the course of the 33 rolling hills. (full recap from that race here) Maybe I just enjoy […]
It’s Music City Time!

Maybe I should have been a duck!
When I signed up for the Brew City Half Marathon, I would NEVER had guessed that it would be the same weekend that Mother Nature would throw one of the largest snowstorms in over 100 years at us! I know that living in Wisconsin means that the weather can be (and often is) unpredictable. Many […]

Lets run 33 hills! It will be fun!
Yes, I said this, and I will say it again! That is exactly what we did with the Run The Bluegrass (RTB) Half marathon in Lexington Kentucky! Dubbed “America’s Prettiest Half Marathon” and set up with the backdrop of Kentucky Horse Country, it was one race I will never forget! I first heard about this […]
Bellin Women’s Half Marathon – better every year!
Forget the meaning of can’t – Sarah Reinersten (Just a note before we get too far! This race was actually back in October 2016. Apparently I started my race recap and never finished it. I figured better late than never!!) Back for year 2! After last years inaugural Bellin Women’s Half Marathon, we all decided that […]

Race around the lake, Take 2

If you’ve done your best, you have won – Bill Bowerman, Coach At some point in your life, you will have that one day, one event or one challenge that, for whatever reason, you really wonder how it could have been different if something had happened differently. Sometimes, no […]
