So last week I was sitting on my couch flipping through Runner’s World (you know, the one I’m IN!!)… …and I came to this ad: For anyone that doesn’t know, that is a picture of runners going over the Verazzano Bridge at the start of the New York City Marathon. I’m sure a lot of … Continue reading
So a few weeks ago I mentioned in a post that I was really struggling to get up early and run before work. I’d set my alarm then hit snooze. Then hit snooze again. And again…and again…until it was time for me really to get up and shower to go to work. A lot of … Continue reading
So right off the bat I’ll tell you that I put “run” in quotes, because calling miles 16-20 a “run” (or anything like it) would be using that term pretty loosely. I’m the first person to admit that my training for the New York City Marathon hasn’t exactly been what I was hoping for. Coming off … Continue reading
Today marks 1 month until the New York City Marathon! That means 1 more long run, lots of time spent with my foam roller, endlessly refilling my water bottle to stay hydrated and of course…some final fundraising for North Shore Animal League! Over the summer I reached my initial fundraising goal of $3,000 (THANK YOU!) and … Continue reading
As you may know, a few months ago I was invited to be an ambassador for the Zooma Cape Cod race. At the time I was living in New York and just really loved the Cape and the time we spent there each summer – being an ambassador for this race just seemed like the … Continue reading
Happy Friday! Tonight I’m headed to the Zooma Cape Cod Expo and Mocktail Party where I’ll get to meet some of the other race ambassadors before the race tomorrow morning! I’m really looking forward to the half marathon this weekend, I’ve heard such good things about the course and the Zooma after-race parties! It’s been such … Continue reading
Since I began running about 3 years ago I’ve primarily been a solo runner. Not so much by choice, but because I didn’t really have any friends near me in New York that ran! I had tried to look into local run clubs or organized groups runs, but I never found anything closer than about … Continue reading
Well, I’m pretty sure this is the longest it has ever taken me to write a recap after a race! I really do prefer to get my recaps done as soon after a race as possible so I can actually remember them, but between flying home from California, moving and starting a new job … Continue reading
Apologies for the delay on my Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend race recaps, but between being out in California and then getting home and having only 2 days to pack to move, stuff has been a bit hectic around here, so bear with me! Jason and I arrived in California on Thursday morning and immediately hit … Continue reading
I have to admit that ever since I started running I really wanted to join some sort of run club (I mean who doesn’t want to be part of a club, right?!). When I first started running I used run/ walk intervals to build my distance and I figured “real runners” who go to run … Continue reading
