Hello!

I’m Sarah Mac. I’m a writer, mom, runner. This is my original running blog, Running Starfish, started in 2009 to chronicle my first (and supposed to be last) marathon, all the way through qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon.

Eugene (Meh Race) Vacation (Fab.u.lous.)


The Eugene expo was fun. The race... er.. not so much. Side stab! Couldn't breath. Almost DNF. Sad Sarah. I know I need to get my funny foot under control. Everything is just pulling all wrong. I'm glad I finished the run, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Ready to find another 13.1 to have fun with.

After Eugene I zipped off to Hawaii! I figured out that this was my FIRST vacation that didn't involve visiting family. When you live across the country from your family you find yourself flying there first. But I gave up my seat on the way home from Christmas in Vermont with one goal in mind: Earn my trip to the beach. Done and done.

I stayed in 5 star hotel...

...with a sweet gym

the most sophisticated dining in the pacific...

...and my best friend to share it all with.

A mediocre race and a great trip...alright we're all caught up!
