Back in August we took a friends trip to Portland, ME for a few days. Here’s what we did, but mostly all about the food we had. A few days wasn’t enough and we all agreed we’d love to go back.
2021 Honor Run
The 2021 Honor Run was chilly and windy, but we avoided the rain and snow! My friend Heidi was in town from Minnesota and she claimed to bring the cold weather. Here is my full race recap and and update on my goal of running a half (or full) in every state!
2021 Flying Pig Half Marathon
We were back in-person for the 2021 Flying Pig Half Marathon! I was a little nervous, but mostly excited to race the Pig again. I’ve only done the full, so I knew what the first 6 miles entailed. Hint: lots of bridges and hills.
1 Night in Salem, MA in 2021
A few weeks ago we spent 1 night is Salem, MA. I grabbed this photo from a short 2-mile run I did in the morning. Here’s a brief recap and our recommendations if you only have one day in Witch City.
