Thoughts On Joining a NYCM Charity Team

As I’m sure everyone knows yesterday was the lottery drawing for the New York City Marathon. Not surprisingly, I didn’t get in. This is my 3rd year applying and not getting in, so next year I’ll have a guaranteed entry. The only problem is just about all of my running friends are running THIS year … Continue reading →

State of the R-UNion

As I mentioned yesterday, my running has been struggling ever since the Dopey Challenge two months ago. I came off of Dopey on a major running high convinced that I was going to train and PR both the half and full marathon distances this spring and then BAM! There was the cold. the snow. the ice. … Continue reading →

Apologies, and big thank you to all of the lovely ladies who nominated me for these: … Continue reading →

Since the last time…

I’ve clearly been a bad blogger. My apologies for falling off the face of the earth (again!). It’s not that I had a particularly busy week, but you know when you feel like you just can’t get out of your own way?? That’s how I felt this past week and to be honest blogging just … Continue reading →

Why Blog?

First of all, my apologies for disappearing after my venting post earlier this week, but I’ve been busy (and frustrated!) dealing with some school stuff, my spring allergies decided to kick in full force, and to be honest I just didn’t feel like writing (or you probably would have gotten another post of me venting!).

2013 Goals & Growth Check-In

Since I set some goals for myself at the start of the year, I thought it … Continue reading →
