Gearing Up For A Healthy Holiday Season
There is a specific moment which to me connotes the beginning of the holiday season. It’s when Santa appears at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Maybe I’ve bought into decades of advertising campaigns designed to get me t...[Read on]
Swimsuits and running skirts
Sometimes after an exhausting day of travel and working, a good night’s sleep and a solid run are all that’s needed to bring me back to life. I need that time to turn my brain off from all the stimulation of meeting new people, engaging in new ideas a...[Read on]
Paying attention to pain
I tried to ignore it, but I knew that was a bad idea. Ignoring those tweaks and aches and occasional shots of pain are a recipe for creating injury. This is a lesson learned from experience (see: plantar fasciitis from earlier this year). While there are ...[Read on]
Creating time to train in my schedule
One look at my Google Calendar was enough to elicit a big sigh. It’s one of those days with endless meetings, phone calls and deadlines. It’s one of those jam-packed schedules that causes me to become anxious in anticipation of the day and wish I had ...[Read on]

Wineglass Part II: Why not try?
The Wineglass Marathon was my last big race of the season. For three months I worked to build up speed and mileage. I had a goal — to PR and run in less than five hours. I had another goal, to be proud of my time goal. I know people who routinely run ma...[Read on]
Race Report: Wineglass Marathon
The weather forecast kept changing and each time I checked it got a little worse. But when my Android app for The Weather Channel said that the rain on Sunday morning would total 1/4 of an inch, I started freaking out. For a good half hour I let myself th...[Read on]
Not a Boston Qualifier and proud of it
At this time last year, I was preparing to attend the Wineglass Marathon as support crew and spectator, getting the opportunity to watch Mark run a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon. Plenty of people at the Wineglass Marathon, which runs 26.2 miles ...[Read on]
