    19/50: Massachusetts — Boston’s Run to Remember

    Hello friends! Can’t believe it’s August and Labor Day is peeking around the corner. Summer is flying by!

    Let’s rewind back to Memorial Day weekend for a minute though. I owe you guys a race recap for state #19: Massachusetts!

    Yes, that was more than two months ago. Sorry for the delay. Things happen. Laziness happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The race was a good one — I did Boston’s Run to Remember. It honors the city’s first responders killed in the line of duty. The weather was beautiful, the race was well-organized, there was amazing course support, annnnd I finished with a PR. Second PR that month!

    I highly recommend this race if you’re looking for a good half marathon in the Boston area.

    Memorial Day, Boston’s Run to Remember, Another PR in May

    Happy Memorial Day, friends!

    I just returned from Boston last night after participating in Boston’s Run to Remember — a half marathon that honors the city’s first responders killed in the line of duty. It was a beautiful race that started in the Seaport District and went through historic downtown Boston. I finished with another PR!

    I’ll have a full write-up of the race and my trip up soon.

    I hope you all are enjoying the long weekend.

    Thanks, Boston, for giving me my 2nd PR this month. And THANK YOU to all who have served and sacrificed in the line of duty. We honor you.
