Note: The Inaugural Shamrock Half Marathon distance is sold out, the remaining distances have space available. Really, I am certain I am the only runner in a 200 mile radius of Portland that has never participated in the Shamrock Run. One year I had signed up for it but was unable to actually run it. So – you better believe I am thrilled to get to participate in the Shamrock Run for 2015 which is only a month away now on Sunday, March…

It seems like there are a lot more events occurring in Eugene in 2015 that I have my eye on, and that is fantastic! One such race that caught my interest very quickly is the Mardi Gras 5k, occurring Saturday, February 21, 2015. The Mardi Gras 5k is hosted…
New Year’s resolutions! Whew. They are right around the corner for a lot of us. My New Year’s resolution for 2015 is quite simple. I hope you don’t laugh. My resolution is: “Run more races.” I know, I know … selfish of me. But it’s true, and it really is my resolution for 2015. So, what a way to start the New Year off right, by racing on January 3rd in the Uberthons Newyearathon event.…
I’m very pleased to announce that Uberthons ‘Turkeython‘ has been named, by Competitor magazine, one of the 24 must do races in the United States for November and December. Why am I not surprised? If you have followed my journey of participating in the Uberthons Oregon Spring Half Marathon in May, and the recent Halloweenathon at Meriwhether Golf Course, you’ll get a small taste of just how awesome Uberthons events are.
