And while I’ve had moments of negative feelings surrounding this break* , most of the feelings I’ve had have been positive. (*mostly following interactions with well-meaning acquaintances […]
Read More“Run this marathon with me in a month!” “Are you doing Erie again?” “When’s your next marathon?’ I’ve had these offers and questions thrown my way more times than I can count since the end of April. And I understand why. The thought for everyone is: time for revenge. You were so close – just try […]

Why am I so excited, do you ask? Because people’s AMAZING generosity just astounds me, […]
Read MoreWOW I’m behind – so sorry guys! I promise to be better. Life has gotten pretty crazy. So here’s a recap: Monday, March 21: I have no idea. I truly don’t remember – and forgot to tweet about it. Tuesday, March 22: Tempo run- 1 mi warm; 3 mi at 8:15-8:20; 1 mi cool (actual […]

Read More“I could write a blog. I have thoughts.” In case no one has guessed yet, I’m (half) watching Julie & Julia on Netflix instant-queue. I find it really sad that the real Julie Powell cheated on her “sainted” husband sometime after the timeline of the film. Anyway. Today was rainy and disgusting out. We porbably […]
