Just One of Dem Days

December 29, 2012

Do you ever have one of dem days? Where everything bothers you from the moment you wake up. Even sitting in front of my new lightbox for thirty minutes this morning didn’t do anything to improve my mood. For breakfast, I ate an entire cheese pizza, some chocolate (okay fiiine,  two chocolate bars), and an apple to [...]

Running in 2012

December 21, 2012

Elizabeth and Jess posted this fun questionnaire, and I thought it was a good way of looking back at “Running in 2012″: 1. Best Race Experience: Hood to Coast 2012 with Team NUUN. HANDS DOWN. You might have thought it was my Sub-4 Marathon, right? Nope. I don’t think I would have run a Sub-4 [...]

NYCRUNS: Hot Chocolate 5K

December 19, 2012

Thank you for the emails, tweets and texts yesterday. I closed comments on the post because it was something I wrote for my six friends, but I really glad you all liked reading it. I kept on going back-and-forth this weekend between wanting to go to the events I had scheduled and feeling guilty for [...]

CT

December 18, 2012

I rarely will write very personal, non-running related things on my blog. I am not very good with words, and I am terrible at conveying my emotions. But the Newtown shooting on Friday hit a little to close to home. I grew up in Connecticut in one of the towns surrounding Newtown. My hometown, Weston, [...]

Things I Am Loving Right Now: Non-Running Related Gift Ideas

December 6, 2012

After a friend from college who reads my blog (yes one reader! Nailed it), recently asked me “Do you only run now?” I responded in my best Stephanie Tanner voice, “How Rude!“. Then I realized that if you only read my blog, you would assume I only run. So to keep my one reader happy [...]

Believe I Am: Changing My Thoughts. Check In #2

December 5, 2012

I’m not a naturally “fast” runner. Growing up, I was always played sports and I would consider myself a “jock” in high school, but running fast was never “my thing”. I think I have mentioned this before, but Coaches used to tell me: “You aren’t a fast runner, but you have pretty good endurance.” It [...]

Philly Marathon Recap

November 30, 2012

So here it goes kiddos. The big SUB-4 HAPPENED. After I attempted not so well before, and came pretty close another time, in my 4th attempt, I finally made it across the finish line with a 3:XX.  Dare I say 12 days post-marathon, that it was easy going Sub-4? I kid, I kid! It is [...]

Philly: Before the Marathon

November 27, 2012

This post should have gone up on November 17th. One day prior to running the Philadelphia Marathon. Funny thing about blogging, sometimes it is scary to put your goals on the internet: To be honest, from the moment I found out I was signed up (during a post-Sandy daze) for the Philadelphia Marathon up until [...]

Weston Half Marathon (The Reservoir Run)

November 16, 2012

I am still riding a high from the Weston Half Marathon I ran last Sunday. A 7 minute Half Marathon PR. Last March I was trying to run a Sub-2 Half Marathon, and now 8 months later, I ran a 1:45:14 Half Marathon. That just seems absolutely crazy. Never would I have ever thought I [...]
