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 [...]

Going from a 5:04 to 4:03 Marathoner

October 29, 2012

Hi-d-ho, there neighbor! It’s been a little while… I’ve been busy reverse tapering (super complicated), trying to cross everything off my “After the Chicago Marathon, but before NYC Marathon To-Do List”, hanging out with friends, eating ice cream, WORKING, living life, and all that jazz. It’s been a really good two weeks. Stew’s Ice Cream [...]
