Hey, guys! So I'm back from the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, and just wanted to drop in and announce that I am now the proud owner of three shiny (and sparkly!) new medals! It was an awesome weekend, and I can't wait to share the details with you guys! I'll be posting recaps this week … [Read more...]

Weekly Workouts and 4th of July Racing!

img_7992

Hi all! Sorry I was such a bad blogger last week, the days just sort of escaped me! But since we're starting a new week (and a new month), I figure I'm due for a fresh start, anyway, right? I already got a little bit of a head start on this week's holiday celebrations; my hometown holds their … [Read more...]

Getting Back to Business

First, I want to apologize for being MIA for the past few days, and thank you all for your kind words and support with regards to the news I shared in my previous post. I really do appreciate all of your well wishes and words of encouragement, and they really have helped me a great deal in making … [Read more...]

Last Week’s Workouts and ANOTHER Half Marathon!

njmarathon

Hope everyone had a marvelous weekend. We had AWESOME weather here in New Jersey (although right now it's rainy and dreary and gross), and I'm excited to finally be running in spring-like conditions! Yesterday I took the plunge and registered for the Long Branch Half Marathon, which is part of … [Read more...]

RACE RECAP: Runapalooza, Asbury Park Half Marathon

img_6930

I'm still reeling from last week's events in Boston, but I felt as though the only thing we runners can do to show our unyielding support for the victims and everyone affected by this tragedy -- and a nice big F-U to the [insert expletive of your choice] who did this -- was to just keep running. So … [Read more...]

Weekly Workouts: 4/7-4/14

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! The enormity of what I've gotten myself into -- registering for the Dopey Challenge as my FIRST marathon -- is really starting to sink in now, and I found myself at Barnes & Noble yesterday scouring the running books for titles like "Marathon Running for … [Read more...]

Spring Goals

runapalooza

It's beginning to look a lot like spring -- although at a chilly 45 degrees today, it certainly doesn't feel like it! -- so I thought I'd post about some of my spring races! My toe (HOPEFULLY) seems to be on the mend...even though I stupidly decided to go for two short runs this week. I have it … [Read more...]

Fear of the Unknown

2013-03-15-15-10-31

It's hard for me to believe that it was just a few short weeks ago that I was terrified of not being able to finish a half marathon. And yet last weekend I ran a 20K (which, come on, is pretty much a half marathon!), and yesterday I registered not for a St. Patrick's Day 5K, but instead decided … [Read more...]

Race Recap: Miles for Music 20K

dscf3029

Yesterday I took on my first 20K, and I did it for time -- unlike my first half marathon in Disney World last month. It was a race organized by a local music teacher and runner that benefits music education in schools, and I thought that was a great reason to get out of bed at 6:45 on a Sunday … [Read more...]
