I swore I Wasn’t Going To, But This Changed My Mind {Why I’m running a marathon this fall & I need your help}

After completing 4 marathons in eleven months(!), I had zero desire to run yet another marathon in 2014. Despite how it appears, I'm not a serial marathoner, just a life-long runner. Running that number of marathons over a relatively short period of time is uncharacteristic for me. What exactly was it that convinced me to sign-up for another marathon?

Hello fellow runners and Race Pace Runners! My name is Jess and I am lucky enough to be working with @RacePaceJess to train for the NYC Marathon this November.

Boston Marathon Recap: Undertrained & Overjoyed

Boston Marathon Recap: Undertrained & Overjoyed

*I wrote this post a few days ago. Since then, I've tried to think of how to edit this so it would better capture what April 21st meant to me on a personal level and what it meant to our larger running community. However, I haven't been able to find the words.
