The Marathon

January 10, 2010

26.2 miles! I know a few marathoners, but I haven’t taken that leap myself yet. My sister, a few good friends…people are running and walking marathons in record numbers. There was a controversial NY Times article a while back about slow runners participating in marathons. The article had a negative connotation and basically gave the [...]

Saturday Morning Runs

August 8, 2009

I love Saturday morning runs and I’m about to head out for one right now. I meet up with my running group almost every Saturday and when we’re on break, I often meet with friends from my group. It’s funny, every session I think I’m missing out on sleeping in on a Saturday. I pull [...]

The Power of Encouragement

These are the words I repeat to myself when I’m running, at least when I’m running well. So simple, yet powerful – run strong. I’m sitting here writing this blog post after finishing a great run. I’m still dripping with sweat and I’m thrilled that I ran strong. I know the phrase is nothing new. [...]

The Grass is Always Greener

April 11, 2009

I was really looking forward to this break from running. I was going to slow down so that I could feel restored and ready to go harder and better. I tell ya, the grass is always greener on the other side. Now that I have this down time, I hate it. I want to hit [...]
