One year ago today I published my very first blog post, My Running Story. At the time I had been running for only about 6 months, I had just completed my first half marathon, and was less than two months away from my first full marathon…I was in full training mode! I had really only gotten into … Continue reading
Last week when Hurricane Sandy hit I remember saying to Jason and some of my friends and family in Massachusetts, “well, at least we didn’t get that heavy wet snow or ice to weigh the branches down even more like that New England storm last year.” Clearly I spoke too soon… Dear Mother Nature, It … Continue reading
I haven’t been able to post much since there’s still no power here and my classes have been canceled for the past week so it’s been interesting figuring out how to keep busy and stay warm! Our area is on it’s way to cleaning up the trees and power lines that are down and most … Continue reading
It’s been a few days since Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast and I still feel like every time I turn on the TV and see the images I’m shocked by what I’m seeing.

There are a few reasons … Continue reading
I’m back! Sorry I disappeared for about a week, but after the holidays, the marathon and a busy few weeks at work I just needed a break…from everything! Fortunately, “All-Star” break came just in time! All-Star break is 4-5 days that Jason gets off in January (the only time he gets more than 1 day … Continue reading
So, I think life finally caught up with me this week. I’ve been really overtired, I’ve had to work late a lot recently and I’ve been stressing about work stuff, holiday shopping (or my lack of holiday shopping) and my training for the January marathon…like I said it sort of caught up to me. I … Continue reading
I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday! I started off the morning with a quick 3 mile run and then met my friend Amanda and her dog Piper for a 3 mile walk. Amanda and I used to work together, but since I’ve moved out of state we don’t get to see … Continue reading
