Bittersweet Reprieve: Rookie Season
July 27th started out a little shaky… pouring rain, thunder, lightening. Kendall and I looked at each other as we walked down first avenue, wondering if all that we trained for was going to end with a cancellation. It was Half-Marathon day. Ninety days of good intentions came to this day. [...]
Destined for the Finish Line
Tomorrow is the big day folks. Three long months of training has all come to this day (well - tomorrow) … half marathon day. I haven’t done so well at my training regimen for the three weeks leading up to the race… I just hope the first 2 months and 1 week were enough [...]
Ten Days, Ten Failures
I am both proud and terrified to announce that I am ten, yes… TEN days away from running my first half marathon. Training has been…well…interesting. While I am confident I will finish the marathon (solely on my natural ability to run, and my sheer stubbornness to keep running under any circumstance) - I [...]
A Magical Purpose…
I have recently signed on to volunteer at the Aflac Cancer Center, with pediatric cancer patients. I suppose you could say, I woke up one morning with a mission to make a difference. I know, I know, a little cliche. But be that as it may — I literally woke up, and [...]
60 Down & 30 Don’ts: pt. 3
Alas, the final chapter to my 3-part celebratory post, discussing my 60 days of marathon training, and sharing the biggest “don’ts” I have encountered (yesterday I shared 11-20… regrettably from first-hand experience.

The final [...]
60 down & 30 Don’ts: pt. 2
I posted ten “Don’ts” when training for a Half Marathon yesterday. I want to share thirty, but in an effort to not overload you, I’m breaking it up over 3 days. So let’s get to it… 11-20.
11. Don’t watch the news, or Law and Order before your run — can you say [...]
60 down & 30 Don’ts: pt. 1
Approximately sixty days ago I decided to begin training for my first half marathon. Thirty days into training, I wrote a post discussing the 30 things I have learned since I started down this path. Now that there are only 30 days left, until the big day, I figured I was qualified to [...]
A Marked Woman: 272254
It’s officially official folks. Well, more official… I am a marked woman.
My boyfriend, Kendall, and I received the word that we were “ACCEPTED” into the lottery for the NYC 1/2 Marathon. We knew we had a decent chance, based on when we signed up — but now all doubt has been removed. [...]
Marathon Madness: Thirty Days
Alot can happen in 30 days. Trust me, I know.
It was 30 days ago when I made the life-changing decision to journey — well, run — down the road of what I have lovingly dubbed, “marathon madness.” Inspired by those near and dear to my heart who have bravely battled Cancer, and inspired [...]
