Running Tattoo
I got a running tattoo on vacation. Don’t worry mom, it’s only temporary (unlike my other two). Though it is semi-permanent, and will be visible for a while. I will spare you the pictures, but the tattoo is the horrid … Continue reading
Halfway to NYC
I am halfway through my NYC marathon training. I’ve logged 11 weeks and almost 200 miles. Exciting! I have 11 more weeks to go. Intimidating! Some people only take 12 weeks to train for a marathon, most use an 18 … Continue reading

I started Thanksgiving with pie and ended the day with pie. Started the day early with a race, the inaugural Run 3.14 Pie race. It was a beautiful morning and I was able to wear shorts. The weather has been … Continue reading
