There are two types of people in this world – those that like pickles, and those that don’t. If you happen to fall into the latter category, then this post isn’t for you. You may as well stop reading right now and just come back in a few days when I publish a new post … Continue reading
Today marked one week until the New York City Marathon! I’m still really nervous about my training for this race (or lack thereof), but fortunately thanks to all of the AMAZING comments on my “New York State of Panic” post and some super awesome twitter friends sharing some tips, advice and experience, I’m at least … Continue reading
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 if you’ve been seeing my Weekly Training Recaps you may notice that well…there’s not all that much to recap! Since we’ve moved I’ve sort of been struggling to get anything other than a few runs a week in (and this week I only ran twice!), not to mention I haven’t been to yoga once … 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
