So, I went on the ride. I laid in bed this morning at 4:30 staring at the weather forecast for Middlebury, CT; inconveniently located two hours away from me. (Dang it, WHO put Middlebury there?!) Weather.com told me it was NOT raining. I analyzed the pattern of “rain percentage”. 60% at 6AM, 50% at 7AM…so, … Continue reading »
My running slump is no longer. I feel restored. Rejuvenated. Jubilant, even! Spoiler alert: The Bronx 10-Mile was THAT good for me. All of Sunday was spent on a running high. RUNNING FINALLY DECIDED TO ME NICE TO ME AGAIN. Thank you, run gods. No, scratch that. Thank you, again, to LORA for convincing me that … Continue reading »
As you may recall, I’m a big fan of Saucony’s “Find Your Strong” campaign. Remember them? I’m also a big fan of winning running stuff. (What! Who doesn’t like winning?) Naturally, I have fun entering running-related contests and dreaming about the possibility of those new shoes or that sweet jacket. Even better? When the contest … Continue reading »

Dear Injury, I’ll never forget the day we met. You snuck up on me during my favorite, strongest, speediest 18 mile run. You were just a little thing back then; generous enough to not bother me all that much. You came back a week later and totally destroyed my 20 mile run. I still resent … Continue reading »
Okay, so I think I’m growing up. Today, I read this post by a gal in Colorado about a video that discusses how size 6 is considered “plus sized” in some segments of the fashion industry, and how baffling that is. Size 6?! I found myself completely surprised by my response to the video: “STRONG … Continue reading »
Oh, hi there! Were you wondering if I got a workout in while on my New Year’s Eve vacation? Why yes, yes I did. Thank you for asking. I ran a mile yesterday (pain-free!!) and today I took it a little easier and did some elliptical-ing, abs, and lifting in the little hotel gym. For … Continue reading »
Hello from somewhere above Pennsylvania! Or Ohio. Who knows. Hopefully the pilot. I’m just along for the ride. I’ve already completed my plane “workout”, which takes place in the tiny bathroom and consists of squats, calf raises, and wall push-ups. Three sets of 15. Not exactly sweat-inducing, I just like to move. Also, not a … Continue reading »
