Hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July! I know I did. :) I ran the Cranford Jaycees Firecracker 4-Miler for the third year in a row. Spoiler alert...I pretty much bombed. Despite a start time of 9am, it was already approaching the 80s when the race started, and the humidity was absolutely … [Read more...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! The weather kind of sucked here in NJ (except for Monday), but I did get to spend some time in Atlantic City and catch a Third Eye Blind concert...I've been obsessed with them since middle school, and pretty much stalk them every time they come … [Read more...]
RACE RECAP: Superhero Half Marathon
May 20, 2013 by 21 Comments
As many of you know, I will take ANY excuse to dress up (and run!) in a ridiculous costume. So when I first heard about the Superhero Half Marathon in Morristown, NJ, I KNEW I had to run it! When it came to choosing my costume, it was no contest...I had to go with a Disney superhero, and race as an … [Read more...]

I know I've been kind of quiet for a few days. To sum up...I've been struggling to recover after my less-than-stellar performance in the Long Branch Half (more on that soon!) But in happier news, I also want to officially announce that... I WILL BE RUNNING IN THE DISNEY WINE AND DINE HALF MARATHON … [Read more...]
RACE RECAP: Long Branch Half Marathon
May 6, 2013 by 24 Comments
Yesterday I ran half marathon number 3, and I have to say...it was not easy. As you may remember, I ran my second half marathon just two weeks ago, and crossed the finish line in a very unexpected 2:03. I was absolutely elated with my time (2:05 was my "best-case scenario" time goal). It was a … [Read more...]

RACE RECAP: Runapalooza, Asbury Park Half Marathon
April 24, 2013 by 24 Comments
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...]
