Run the Valley Half Marathon October 2020 – Baden Stanly County was a tough run, but the views from the top of Morrow Mountain were worth the climb. We lucked out with a beautiful clear morning so we could see for miles from the lookouts.I am not fast, so was at the back of the…
Love on the Run 5K February 2020 – Jarvisburg Currituck is one of those counties we have been to numerous times, but never been able to find a race to coincide with our trips. As luck would have, not only did we finally find a 5K but it was held at Sanctuary Vineyards, one of…
Flight of the Vampire 5K October 2019 – Brevard Transylvania County was a fun one. We were there for their Halloween weekend. Some serious costumes out for the 5K.

Pancake Pursuit 10K May 2019 – New Bern Pancake Pursuit…. like I couldn’t do this race?!?! Not the prettiest, but pancakes! The sun made it much warmer than anticipated and not a lot of water stops along the way made for a tough morning. At one point I think I noticed vultures circling. Needed a…

Cantaloupe 5K July 2018 – Norlina Chris almost got us tossed before the race even started. The Chick Fillet Mascot was unimpressed with his Steve’s Butchers Shop shirt.

Cat’s Cradle 10K June 2018 – Morganton 53 days after my surgery I finished this 10K. It was slow and it sometimes hurt, but I got it done. Having been on rest for several weeks, I realized how much I really enjoyed running. Felt good to get this under my belt and know that I…
Running the Vines May 2018 – Dobson Jon and Brooke met us for the weekend and we all walked the 5K together. Started at Shelton Vineyards out into the countryside & back. Gray day, but the rain held off for us. Enjoyed some of Shelton’s wines and tried a couple other vineyards in the area.
