4/15/23: Paul Mailman 10 Miler

This was my first race in three months, since the trip to Bermuda. Even so, it was a last-minute decision to sign up and run it. Katie and I signed up for the Pineland Trail Festival – 25K for her, 50K for me – which takes place at the end of May, and we’ve beenContinue reading “4/15/23: Paul Mailman 10 Miler”

2021 Year in Review: April to June

April brought the start of the race season. First up was the Half Marathon Unplugged, a return to site of my best half marathon to date. This one didn’t go so well, due to both weather and training, though it was far from a disaster. I gained a measure of redemption with an improved performanceContinue reading “2021 Year in Review: April to June”

4/24/21: Paul Mailman Ten Miler

What a difference two weeks, or three miles, or 15 degrees (or all of the above) makes. I was looking forward to this year’s Paul Mailman as an opportunity for growth and redemption. Growth in the sense that I would be able to measure continued improvement on this course. As you may remember, my firstContinue reading “4/24/21: Paul Mailman Ten Miler”

7/18/20: CVR Participation Series Paul Mailman 10 Mile Race

For my next race in the CVR Participation Series, I went for another bite at the Paul Mailman Ten Miler. You may recall that this was my first-ever long race last year. You may also recall that I ran the course in honor of the cancelled race in April. Now taking it on for aContinue reading “7/18/20: CVR Participation Series Paul Mailman 10 Mile Race”

6/30/20: CVR Participation Series/Paul Mailman 5K

I am already fully embracing the CVR Participation Race series. It’s so easy to squeeze almost all of these into my regular training schedule. 5 miler at Berlin Pond on a Thursday night? Easy peasy! Midweek 5K on the Paul Mailman course in town? Can do! Today was another “gotta go to the office” day.Continue reading “6/30/20: CVR Participation Series/Paul Mailman 5K”

4/25/20: CVR Virtual Race / Not-the-Paul Mailman 10 Miler

This week was to be the Paul Mailman 10-mile race in Montpelier, which at press time has been postponed and not cancelled. Recognizing that there would be people who wanted to run a virtual version, CVR added a 10-mile option for week two of the Social Distancing Race series. I for one have been planningContinue reading “4/25/20: CVR Virtual Race / Not-the-Paul Mailman 10 Miler”

4/27/19: Paul Mailman 10 Mile

Because I am writing this months later I can’t really pinpoint the time, but somewhere along the way in the late winter/early spring of 2019 this definitely became about more than just running some 5Ks. The 5K gave way to the 10K, which then got me thinking about the next race on the list, aContinue reading “4/27/19: Paul Mailman 10 Mile”
