Carina's Running Career: Travel
http://carinaruns.blogspot.com/p/travel.html
Running, training, loving, living. My favorites so far have probably been (attempting to put in order, but not sure):. 1 Southern Italy (not so touristy, great food and people). 2 Chiang Mai, Thailand (spectacularly beautiful). 3 St Petersburg (luxurious palaces and beautiful architecture) (posted a few pics and description here. 4 the Masai Mara area in Kenya (loved scenery, animals and people). 5 Bali (beautiful and interesting). 6 Greece — Santorini the most probably, but have loved it all. I want to ...

Carina's Running Career: October 2014
http://carinaruns.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Running, training, loving, living. Friday, October 31, 2014. Europe Recap: Pizzo Calabro. Continuing tradition, while we are on vacation this year, I'm sharing some photos and details from last year's trip. Last year, you got to see China while we were in Europe. This year, you get to see Europe while we are in India! As you can see, Pizzo is on the way to Reggio, which is the provincial capital of Calabria. I mostly took this picture because, hey, Philly (or Filadelfia, as they call it)! Here is the vie...

Notes And Lines: Race Report - National Half Marathon
http://notesandlines.blogspot.com/2011/03/race-report-national-half-marathon.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Race Report - National Half Marathon. So we were able to hit Trader Joe's and cook ourselves a good spaghetti dinner. What was a problem is that I wasn't seeing any mile markers. It's a good thing I decided to wear my Garmin for pacing, because the first mile marker I saw (and others reported the same) was at mile 10! Youre right on with your training!

Notes And Lines: Race Report - Last Chance For Boston 10K
http://notesandlines.blogspot.com/2011/02/race-report-last-chance-for-boston-10k.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. Race Report - Last Chance For Boston 10K. Or, "Where 10K = 8.2 Miles". I hemmed and hawed about this race right up until Saturday, when the forecast looked like it was solidly going to be okay, and that Meredith was going to be able to cover her share of their relay. But I did decide to sign up and get ready to shoot for another PR. I had only run one 10K before, this same race in 2009. We just had time to get our watches set, and we were off. I was a little surprised at how mu...

Notes And Lines: Race Report - Cap City Half Marathon
http://notesandlines.blogspot.com/2011/05/race-report-cap-city-half-marathon.html
Monday, May 09, 2011. Race Report - Cap City Half Marathon. This race is really where it all started back in 2004. I had run some 5Ks and even a 5. Mile. Race. the year before, but this was the first race I'd consider an endurance race. And it was hard, but I finished. Didn't quite break the 2 hour goal I was shooting for, but I did a respectable 2:02:43. And I met up with Colleen. And Tom in the first corral, and. Wait a sec, the first corral? Miles 1-4: Wanted Dead or Alive. Miles 5-6: Pinch Me. Februa...

Notes And Lines: Race Report - Ironman Coeur D'Alene
http://notesandlines.blogspot.com/2009/06/race-report-ironman-coeur-dalene.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. Race Report - Ironman Coeur D'Alene. Or, "Charlie Brown vs. Plate Tectonics". What an epic day. (Sorry in advance, the report will mirror it! Meredith dropped me off as close as she could get, and I walked in the rest of the way with my special needs bags. And my path happened to take me right to body marking. Score. But the woman I ended up with told me I needed to get rid of my sweatshirt. Why? I was glad I showed up early, as it let me not panic too much through all of this.

http://notesandlines.blogspot.com/2011/07/race-report-jcc-independence-day.html
Tuesday, July 05, 2011. Race Report - JCC Independence Day Triathlon. Fake it till you make it is the theme of this year's tri season. Need to keep up your swim fitness? Do some running. How about improving on the bike? Running might work. I really have NOT done much cross-training, but when the price dropped on this race at the last minute, I couldn't help but to sign up. 300 yd Swim (plus long run to transition and T1): 8:05 (5/16 AG). I was right at 90 rpm like I should have been. T2: 0:22 (1/16 AG).

Notes And Lines: You've Got To Learn To Pace Yourself
http://notesandlines.blogspot.com/2011/04/youve-got-to-learn-to-pace-yourself.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. You've Got To Learn To Pace Yourself. Fresh off a great run in Miami, I was feeling pretty good about myself. Hadn't had a bad run in quite some time, PR'ed in DC, and things were looking great for Columbus. And then taper hit me like a truck. Long run: hit my target paces, but was working HARD to do it. 12 miles felt more like 15. NO NO NO. NO. NO. It was all very melodramatic. However, I was close enough at that point to finish it out. Tapers do suck but I am sure you will come ...
