Hi guys! Remember me? As I was sitting here contemplating half marathon no. 9 TOMORROW, I realized I never posted a recap of the Smuttynose Half Marathon last month! Of course, now that 4+ weeks have gone by, my memory is a little foggy, but I’ll give it my best shot. The good thing is […]
Race Recap: Boston’s Run to Remember Half Marathon
On Sunday, I ran my seventh half marathon, and my third Boston’s Run to Remember race. It wasn’t my best time, nor was it my worst. Yet in so many ways, this was such a totally different race experience for me. I know I’ve said in the past in the days leading up to any […]
The Running Wars: Me vs. My Body
Here we go again. Another battle in The Running Wars. In one corner, we have me and my love for running, my desire to stick with my training plan and run a strong race next month, and my newfound joy at having running friends to log miles with. In the opposite corner, we have my […]

Why do I love it? Well, for starters, there are the ocean views. And running down famed Bellevue Avenue, past […]
What’s On my 2016 Racing Radar
So I’m not gonna lie to you guys…I’ve been thinking about my 2016 race schedule since the fall. Once I couldn’t run (whether it was due to injury or being sick, or both) I became fixated on both redemption and starting anew. Not that I had to redeem myself from anything. I totally get that. […]
This Year I Will…
Happy 2016! I love that a new year feels like a blank slate, a new beginning. A fresh start. An opportunity for new dreams, new roads to explore. Now I’m a pretty goal-oriented gal, but I’m not a fan of “New Year’s Resolutions” … sounds so rigid and formal, eh? In fact, several dictionaries specifically […]
