2014 Bainbridge Half Marathon

2014BainbridgeHalf

Every time I start to write a race recap, I want to say it’s one of my favorite races. I feel like I say that about all of the races.. perhaps I just like to run races? Who knows.

2013 Bainbridge Half Marathon

2013BainbridgeHalf

Bainbridge will always have a very special place in my heart.  I’ve never actually lived there myself, but it is the town where my parents grew up and most of my extended family lives there now.  It’s the place we visited countless times throughout my childhood, and since I was a Navy Brat, it was the one place that always felt like home.  A few months ago, my aunt told me that they were doing a half marathon to benefit the local hospital & nursing home, I really wanted to sign up.  The hospital is where many of my family members are born, where I spent a lot of time hanging out with Mama Carra (my great-grandma), and where I said goodbye to my Papa Merk and Granny Moore.  The race was also held the same weekend as my Granny’s birthday, which made it extra special.  I was a bit gun-shy to sign up since I’d never run a half, but right after we returned from Orlando, where I ran the Princess Half, I signed up and couldn’t wait!
