Miss Zippy recently wrote "Tell me about your 2012" in running. I love the questions she posted on her site and thought it was a great way to look back on the past 12 months of running. Best Race Experience: Reach the Beach Relay Best Run: My first 20-miler in eight years with Gia and Lora. Before this run I wasn't sure I could even complete marathon training. Completing this run with these fine … [Read more...] about Running in 2012: A Fun Q&A

Base Building
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to lose fitness! It's been just around one month since I ran a marathon and I feel a little doughy and slow. Believe it or not, that's exactly how I should feel right now. The build up to the New York City Marathon was a long one.

They say "fake it till you make it." And that's exactly what I'm doing right now. With six weeks to go until the marathon I'm feeling as though I might not be able to make it through to reach my goals but... I refuse to let go of all I've worked for the past nine months. I've hit a slump and I hope that pretending I'm as driven and excited now as I was in January will carry me through until I … [Read more...] about Faking It
