Start
This morning while on the way to the first NYRR Long Training run of the season, a guy interrupted my magazine reading to ask, "Miss, are you running the marathon today?" This wasn't a weird questions since I did have...
Let this be a lesson to you
Training is everything. I ran the Manhattan Half Marathon Grand Prix in 2:30. Not my slowest time, but still pretty slow for me. My legs are sore, sore, sore. Muscle memory is a bitch. Make that, lack of muscle memory...
Get Real!
For a person who hasn't run more than 6 miles at a time since the marathon in November, I sure am ambitious in my running goals. Not only am I running a half marathon this weekend, one that I haven't...
Chest of Fire
Two hundred seventy-nine. That is the number of stairs between the 5th Floor and the 20th floor in my office building. I just walked and ran up them and then back down. My chest is burning. It's funny how running...
Looking at 2008
NYRR announced some 2008 races and I'm already signed up for the Manhattan Half on January 27. I've also applied to the insane sounding Empire State Building Run-Up. This is the race where you run up all the stairs in...
I did it!

20 days to go
I did my 20 mile run on Saturday, but not the one I blogged about last week. A friend told me about an organized run by Nike that took place on Saturday. They were running the last 10 miles of...
It's Closing In
November 18, 2007. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Marathon Day. Yikes. Ok. I've slacked off on training the last 6 weeks or so, but I'm back in it and according to people who have done this before, I'm still in good shape....
So how's the marathon traning going?
Every week I get asked this question by someone in my running group. They tell me how many miles they ran that weekend and how great it was. They are happy about their progress and I'm happy for them. Then...
Naples Park to Park Run Tomorrow
I'm running in my 10th race this year tomorrow morning. I'm hoping to do this 10K race through Central Park in an hour or less. I have never been faster than 1:09 in a 10K and was really disappointed in...
Exercising in City's Polluted Air Damages the Lungs
This article in today's New York Times is a little scary, though it isn't at all surprising. Apparently, smoggy and sooty air damages the lungs. The damage is also long term. According to a study in The New England Journal...
9 down, no more to go!
The Front Runner's Gay Pride race was my 9th race of the year which means I now have guaranteed entry in the New York City Marathon next year! Woo hoo! I really don't have to run any more races this...
Countdown to the Marathon
I didn't make it into the NYC Marathon this year, despite the fact that I ran 9 qualifying races last year. I should have guaranteed entry but since I didn't join the NY Road Runners until Feb. 2006 instead of...
