In preparation for next week’s 10K, Neil and I set out on a 5 mile run on Saturday. Aside from running part of the Chicago Marathon with me, this is the longest Neil has run since high school. We drove to Beach Drive and did an out and back. We talked the first [...] Thanks to public shaming I woke up and ran this morning! I did not go to the track like I planned, but I did 3 hilly miles. Better than nothing. And I also finally biked to work. It was under 40* when I left the house. It was a big wake-up call that our nice [...] Remember after the Chicago Marathon I said I wanted to do some low-pressure, fun races? Then remember how I instead spent my weekends drinking too much and sleeping too little? Well, I finally registered for some races. In fact, I’ll be ending 2011 with a bang with 4 races in a row. Here is [...] This weekend was a very good one. My BF Colleen (who I’ve known since we were five) got married. Think of that couple you know that everyone says are perfect for each other. Colleen and her now-husband Roger are that couple. Plus can’t you tell Colleen is the coolest by her dress? I loved seeing [...] Right now I’m sitting in a hotel room in Dallas, TX. I’ve been to three cities in three days, which have included 12 hour + work days. A few things I’ve learned from this whirlwind week: Trail runs in the dark are a terrible idea. Neil and I decided to hit the trails early Tuesday [...] Alternative title #1: Stephanie kicks ass at her first marathon. Alternative title #2: The day I ran an unplanned 15+ miles. Alternative title #3: Marathon spectating leads to marathon registrations. This morning I ran down to the 36th Marine Corps Marathon to pace Stephanie in the last 7 miles of her race. I ran 4.2 [...] With Marine Corps in a few days and NYC soon after, marathon season is still in full swing. I’m very excited to spectate and run part of Marine Corps this weekend with Steph. I love that race day energy! I’m sure some readers out there have races coming up, so I thought I would share [...] This is the second stretch of time in the last two years that I have no training plan whatsoever. The difference between now and last year when I took a break is that I knew the break was temporary and that 2011 would be full of big races. And it was – a half marathon, [...] Today I read an article about exercise-commuting in the NY Times. It got me thinking about how I hope I never have to give it up. Yesterday I ran home from work. Today I rode my bike in and back home. Both are faster than public transportation and much less of a headache. I recently [...] I’m starting to feel better about the marathon. Here are a few ways I’ve gotten over myself it in the last few days. Read amazing comments on the race recap. Your comments on the recap post really helped me put things in perspective. I know a lot of people have been in the same position. [...] |
