I’m going to cover my first half marathon experience in two parts so you don’t have to read one long blob of writing all in one sitting. In this first post I will discuss the days and moments leading up to the race. I left off with my last post discussing Thursday’s run club, the […]

All of the things that are exciting about the Inaugural Nike Women’s Half Marathon DC, and some of the things that aren’t: I have to start off this post by saying that last night I met Sanya Richards Ross at run club! Last night’s run club was not the usual easygoing get together, but really

And thank goodness because (I guess) I’ve been injured. I thought about it yesterday, and realized I’d been limping around since Tuesday. So maybe I haven’t blogged in a few days because I’ve been in denial. I went to the chiropractor on Thursday and along with adjusting me (sort of), he helped me sort out
This morning I was engorged in Runner’s World and reading about the elites’ finish at the Boston Marathon. Now Marathon Monday is being looked at in a whole new light, one of tragedy. Whoever the hell did this can’t be a human being. While it is true, I have little faith in humanity, I simply

Well I ran down to the Tidal Basin on Thursday and the cherry blossoms had still yet to bloom. Of course. I will try to do Tuesday’s run down there and hopefully they will have finally bloomed (and the tourists will have departed). Anyways, I’m in Pittsburgh for the weekend so tomorrow morning’s run will

Today I had one of those awesomely blissful runs where I could have just kept running into the sunset (figuratively of course, since it was only 2pm). I’m not sure why it had me feeling so good, but I think there could be many reasons: 1. Last week was a recovery week, so I should

Yes, I run in Vibram FiveFingers and I love them, but sometimes I feel like the less shoe there is, the more burden I carry. It’s sometimes hard to remember how I tricked myself into buying such goofy shoes in the first place. This week I had to think back and actually remember that it
