Lover of miles, marathons and making memories. Mommy of three, writer, runner, blogger, and running coach. Passionate about fitness and health.
I’ll take 365 “made up” holidays if they encourage people to run and be active. I love being spontaneous, but I’ve come to realize that I enjoy reading blogs/newsletters that arrive on a consistent basis. So with that thought in mind I’m adding a regular feature to this old blog. Every Wednesday I’ll be sharing 5 songs I’m running with that week!
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two months since I finished my 41st marathon, Boston Marathon. That sounds crazy when I write it out because I know that when I’m running the miles, I don’t mind if they pass quickly, yet at the same time I wish everything wasn’t over so fast. Almond Breeze Almondmilk is so versatile, so if you want it to be a little creamier you can add extra almondmilk, or completely replace the water and use all almondmilk instead!

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to improve or that I wouldn’t love to get some of my old speed back I no longer define myself by a time but that doesn’t mean times aren’t still cool and fun to chase, just that I don’t think they are the be all end all that as runners we often make them. I don’t have time to train in shoes I don’t like. The Under Armour HOVR Infinite are gender specific, meaning that the women’s shoe isn’t just the sized down version of the men’s shoe – it’s designed with a woman’s biomechanical needs in mind.
If you asked me to write a mile by mile recap of this years I couldn’t write a mile by mile recap of Reston Marathon or even Abbott World Marathon Majors Tokyo Marathon even though both of those races deeply meant something to me. I no longer write stories in my head during races and because of that, I can’t remember the miles the way I was able to in the past.
