Today I ran my 20th marathon. It’s always surreal to me when my words are the words that help me the most. It’s why I blog. I love inspiring others but most of all I write every word for myself. To document my journey. To give me STRONG when I don’t have any. To learn. [...]

It’s no secret that I love nuun. It’s the only hydration drink I use before and after running. I don’t drink any other sports drink. Just nuun and water for this girl {and an obscene amount of caffeinated beverages} I have become more and more obsessed with nuun since I ran Hood To Coast last year….. I would [...]

I’ve been living a dream for the past month or so and I don’t want to wake up. Things – good things – great things just keep happening to me. It began with a shiny new marathon PR and win. I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around it and understand how these things are [...]

It’s no secret that I love Sparkly Soul Headbands – they are one of the ONLY companies who make headbands that actually do not slip off my head. What’s the secret? Unlike other headbands that use elastic at the bottom part of the band to make it fit around your head, these bands use the [...]

I never really gave you the *details* on my filming post. So here goes….. Saucony has this ad campaign and it’s called FIND YOUR STRONG. I’m sort of in love with it. I’m a big marketing geek and love ad campaigns – as a teen I covered my walls in magazine ads because yes I love a good [...]

Two weeks out from Boston this weekend was not about running. I squeezed in a semi speedy 12 miler on Friday because I just wasn’t in the mood to run - strange I know – 12 miles is better than no long run miles. 6 weeks between back to back marathons is too long for my [...]

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect black capri. You would have thought by now I would have found one that I was in love with but I hadn’t. There were plenty I liked - some I liked A LOT others I liked a LITTLE. Some I would even go so far as to say [...]

Saturday I woke up and knew I needed to run 20 miles – my last long run before Boston. Twitter and facebook haunted me as countless runners posted pictures and comments of how great their final long run went. It didn’t motivate me. It made me frustrated. I didn’t want to run long. I was [...]

It will probably be the only time in my life I can say this so I am going to use this line for all it’s worth for the next week or so. I’ve been MIA from Mile Posts for the past 5 days because I have been in NYC filming something fun with Saucony. About [...]

I had planned to wake up early Sunday to do an easy recovery run, but with no one to meet me I didn’t feel accountable to waking up early. The kids slept in and so did I. 7:45 wake up call was NICE compared to my normal wake up time of 5:45 or earlier. Eric [...]

After procrastinating a little this morning I set off for my first long run post B & A and my first long run of Boston Marathon training 2012. B & A Marathon and Boston Marathon are six weeks apart. I happen to think is a very awkward distance when attempting back to back marathons. Last [...]

I was taught from a very young age that you should stand up for what you believe in. That you should always be respectful, but that being respectful does not mean that you have to agree with everyone you meet. This morning I stood up for something I believed in – my opinion. Some of [...]

I don’t normally talk bad about races or even really write about something that I know is controversial but this has me MORE than fired up. I should mention before starting my little rant that I used to work for National Marathon [what Rock N Roll USA was before it got bought by Competitor Group]. [...]

Mile 1: I like running because it’s a challenge. If you run hard, there’s the pain – and you’ve got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is? Don’t overdo it’ and? Don’t push yourself.’ Well, I think that’s a lot of bull. If you push [...]

Running a marathon is similar to when you have a baby – you really find out how many people care and love about you. The outpouring of love I have gotten this week has been amazing. I read each and every comment on this blog and take all of your words to heart. They get me [...]
