My Plan B
So the New York marathon thing didn’t work out, but hey that is just a minor footnote in the big picture of the hurricane Sandy story. Much more important stories to focus on. A gentle reminder that no matter how … Continue reading
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

We now return you to your regularly scheduled spring.
I am so happy the temperatures are back in the 60′s where they belong. The weather the past couple of weeks was ridiculous and it was really not helpful for my already lacking motivation or my mood. First of all … Continue reading
A Running Start
I did a good job at not letting the holidays (they seem so long ago now) interfere with my workout schedule and runs. I was committed to start strong well before the holidays, I didn’t want to start the … Continue reading
