In anticipation of eating too much later on, we decided to work it off in advance by running the 5k at the Lake Norman Turkey Trot in Huntersville. The weather was freezing — about 28 degrees when we arrived — and not much warmer at 8:00 a.m. when the races started. The three races (5k, [...]

Race #11 – Santa Scramble 5k – Concord NC – 11/22/08
Posted by Richard Hefner on November 22nd, 2008
What a great race this was: a 5k that preceded the Concord, North Carolina, Christmas parade, with about 15-20,000 onlookers as the racers ran the parade route. With a record low temperature of 13 degrees last night we were happy that the race started at 2:15 in the afternoon so the weather had warmed up [...]

Posted by Richard Hefner on November 15th, 2008
We traveled south of the border (the South Carolina border that is) for the Springmaid Road Race. It started out as kind of a rainy day, which seems to be a recent trend, but there was no rain and a pleasant temperature of about 65 at race time. The 5k and 10k races started at [...]

Who Would Ever Run a Marathon?
Posted by Richard Hefner on November 11th, 2008
I found this article on what looked to be a now defunct website (the newest article on the site was from the year 2000) and wanted to share it, not only for others who might find it helpful, but also so I can refer to it in the future. After my first 10-miler the other [...]
