2015 PRR Mother’s Day 4 Miler Race Recap

This past winter I purchased a race pass from Potomac River Running (4 races for $110 or $27/race).  I was looking at the PRR events page and saw they had a Mother's Day 4 Miler on the calendar - perfect! I asked my mom if she would like to participate on Mother's Day morning and she said, "yes".   Image: Potomac River Running I signed us both up (PRR issues you a race pass code upon registration and the same code…

2014 PRR Perfect 10 Race Recap

September 30, 2014 This past Sunday I ran the 10K option of Potomac River Running’s Perfect 10. As the name suggests, runners have the option to sign up for the 10M or the 10K.  Having run this race last year (recap here), and knowing how hilly the course was, I opted for the 10K again.   I signed up for the 10K pretty “late” because I realized I had to use the  last of my PRR race pack (I purchased 4…

PRR Leesburg 20K Race Recap

August 19, 2014 This past Sunday I ran Potomac River Running’s Leesburg 20K.  I did not originally plan this 20K in my initial race schedule, but I had a few races left in my 4 pack and the 12.4 miles fit nicely into my training plan.  At first I was hesitant to sign up because racing in DC in August would be miserable, but then I realized I was thinking irrationally…. I would be running 12 miles as part of…

PRR Firecracker 5K Race Recap

July 8, 2014 I had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend from beginning to end.  The holiday started off with a bang (pun intended) on Friday morning as I ran Potomac River Running’s Firecracker 5K.  I’ve grown fond of running holiday races (Thanksgiving, New Years, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day) - they are usually shorter distances, fun, and so festive.   Image: Potomac River Running Races  Packet Pickup Just like their New Year’s Day 5K, PRR offered race day packet…

PRR Distance Training Program Kickoff (DC)

June 17, 2014 Last Wednesday I attended Potomac River Running’s Distance Training Program kickoff for the DC group.  It was held at their new Penn Quarter store by Gallery Place/Verizon Center (they closed the Cleveland Park location).  Image: Potomac River Running DC I arrived 15 minutes early (surprise surprise) to a quasi empty store. People quickly trickled in from work and from the 6:30 Fun Run (every Wednesday).  We signed in and received a tech tee and water bottle. PRR…

New Years Day 5K Recap

January 2, 2014 I hope everyone had a nice New Years! A snippet from yesterday…my friend Debbie decorated her wine glasses with wine glass markers-they wash off too!  Isn’t that a cute idea? So I’ve been itching to run a 5K since I ran the SOME Trot for Hunger 5K in November. Knowing there would be races on New Year’s Day, I used Run Washington’s website to search for a 5K.  Having run Potomac River Running’s Perfect 10K (or 10…

PR Running Perfect 10 Race Recap

I’ve been wanting to run a shorter local race for quite some time now.  Last Sunday, September 29th, I ran the Potomac River Running’s Perfect 10 Miler / 10K in Reston, VA.  Runners could select the 10 Miler or 10K-I chose the latter. Logo: PR Running Potomac River Running is a running store with locations in Maryland, DC, and Virginia.  In addition to retail, they also offer run clubs, coaching, and their PR Race Series. They are typically smaller races…
