There were several July 4th races in central Ohio this year. Three Buckeye Striders and I entered the Westerville Rotary July 4th 5K. The race is reasonably priced at $25. This year we received a technical shirt in men’s sizes and a […]
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Deb Chenault to review two half marathons we walked this spring: the Athens Marathon Half and the Cap City Half Marathon. We start by talking about the Athens Half held in Athens, Ohio on […]
