Boston Strong
I am almost glad I didn’t have time to jump on the blog and write a post about the Boston Marathon bombings earlier this week. As a runner and marathoner I immediately felt like the bombings were a personal attack on the sport that I love. A gruesome act of violence, at a such a [...]

New Running Goals
For the longest time my biggest running goal was running a marathon. I wanted to prove to myself that I could go through the training and conquer the ridiculous task of running 26.2 miles. I told myself that it didn’t matter how long it took me to do it, but I wanted to cross that finish [...]

The Ultimate Marathon Spectators Guide
The only thing more fun than running the Chicago Marathon may be spectating the Chicago Marathon. In fact, some (like my husband) may argue that spectating is even more fun because it doesn’t involve doing something ridiculous…. like actually running 26.2 miles. My husband, my best friend, and her husband were basically the most successful [...]

Chicago Marathon 2012 Race Recap
It’s just a couple of days after the Chicago Marathon and it almost doesn’t seem real. I’ve probably said a dozen times already… I can’t believe it’s over!

Chicago Marathon – I did it!
Today I ran the Chicago Marathon and became a “Marathoner.” The day has been one giant blur of crazy emotions from fear, elation, pure joy and just a little disappointment.

Pinehurst Trip– Marathon Worries
My husband is on a board for everything. He’s on the Mission Hospital board, ones at the local universities, ones for the professional organizations he’s involved in. I am so proud of his involvement in the community. One of the boards he serves on is on a state level and meets twice a year at [...]

20 Mile Run – Chicago Marathon Here I Come!
When I signed up for the marathon and wrote down my training plan, I put three stars next to the big 20 mile training run. It’s like the run was a big neon sign blinking in the country that was just impossible to ignore. I was looking forward to it, because it’s farther than I’d [...]
