In the weeks since the New York City Marathon I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my feeling on the whole experience. Yes, it’s THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON, the largest marathon in the WORLD, and I am incredibly fortunate to have been able to run it, but as many of you know, I was … Continue reading
Wow, what a busy couple of weeks it’s been! In case you missed it, I posted 2 race recaps this week… TCS New York City Marathon Wine & Dine Half Marathon …each of these races was a battle of the elements! In New York we dealt with some fierce winds and then in Florida the … Continue reading
In case you missed it, I posted a quick update on the New York City Marathon this morning – really just to THANK YOU for all of your support both on my actual run and my fundraising for North Shore Animal League! I promise expo & marathon recaps coming up later this week! RECAP (10/27-11/2) … Continue reading
Thank you to everyone for all the in person and virtual cheers yesterday! If you were tracking me, you probably saw that I finished the New York City Marathon in 4:27:47 – a 7 minute 13 second marathon PR for me. I’ll be working on a full recap to post in the next couple of … 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 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
First of all, apologies for being totally MIA for the past couple of weeks. I’ve admittedly been totally cranky and just not in the mood to blog. But, with Dumbo less than 3 months away and NYCM 5 months from today it’s time to get back on track with running, blogging, and a few other things … Continue reading
Today marks 6 months until the New York City Marathon and as promised I have a fun donor incentive to offer to you! A few weeks ago I sent my crazy talented artist cousin one of my favorite pictures of Madison… …and a few days later she sent me this! How awesome is that??! Wait…check out the … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on my thoughts on joining a charity team for this year’s New York City Marathon. I sort of had mixed feelings, and really loved all the feedback I got from everyone. At the time I thought the “3 strikes and your IN” rule still applied to … Continue reading
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
