About Amy Moritz:

I'm a sportswriter who moved from observing on the sidelines to participating in triathlon and distance running.


Amy Moritz's blog is a member of the Women Talk Sports Network:

Byline to Finish Line

A chronicle of a sports reporter who ditched the sideline to discover her own power and strength by taking up endurance sports in her 30's.

A Walk In The Park via Byline to Finish line
This morning I had the opportunity to lead a trail walk at Akron Falls Park, adding an “off road” element to a series of walks produced by The Wellness Institute and the Erie County Department of Health. It was a short trail but beautiful, lea...[Read on]
Tour de Cure: Ahead by a Century
We pulled into the Royalton Town Hall parking lot to cheering volunteers. As we walked over to the food tent a woman announced that “the ladies are here.” Turns out, Mary and I were a bit famous. People had asked if the ladies had come throug...[Read on]
National Running Day
Happy National Running Day! Yes, in case you were not aware, the first Wednesday in June is designated as National Running Day, a day to celebrate and promote running. Inevitably Wednesday is a swim-bike day in my training rotation, but I don’t nee...[Read on]
Annual Girls on the Run 5K
It was at about the halfway point of the 5K where the first water stop was stationed. Runners took small plastic cups of water on the humid morning and disposed of them as runners do — by throwing them on the ground confident in the fact that volunt...[Read on]
Taper Week: Thought Training
I sat down, got myself in a comfortable position, closed my eyes and pressed play on my iPod. It had been some time since I sat quietly and did a guided meditation, but my mind clearly needed a little bit of assistance. I picked a meditation on patience a...[Read on]
A training journal full of evidence
It was the night before the half marathon in Louisville when I had an email exchange with a college running coach. I was nervous and uncertain of what the race would bring. She urged me to look back over my training journal. As I glanced over the pages, I...[Read on]
Boston Marathon:The Spirit of the Marathon
It was a brilliant day in Buffalo. The temperature had reached 70 degrees. There was sunshine. There was a bit of wind, but otherwise a perfect day for an easy run. After my race on Sunday, my workout was designated as light. Emphasis on light. So I went ...[Read on]
Strength doesn’t lie in numbers (via Byline to Finish Line)
There are many reasons why I like to run in the mornings. There is something energizing about sunrise. There is something breathtaking about being out before the world wakes up. There is the peskiness of my schedule which usually means first thing in the ...[Read on]
Race Report: Shamrock Run 2013
Truth be told, I was having a difficult morning. I needed something to do so I tuned my Netflix to Law & Order and added another coat of spring green nail polish to my fingers and toes. On most long-run days, I would already have completed my workout,...[Read on]
The voices in my head whispered “Go!” So I went. (via Byline to Finish Line)
Scrolling through my Twitter feed, I saw a post from cyclist and writer Kathryn Bertine who is racing in Central America right now. She decided to go off on a breakaway before the pelton caught her, but she didn’t regret the bold move. Her Tweet beg...[Read on]
