The Life and Style of a Mother Runner with Scoliosis
Guesting on this week's edition of the marathon training log is the "Con" of #NatConathon, the one and only Connor! Week 3 of #NatConathon training is complete and fueling was this week's hot topic (in addition to the New Jersey summer temps!). This week's training called for long weekend runs of 4 miles on Saturday... Continue Reading →
We did something bad. Are you ready for it? We skipped our Saturday run. I know, I know it’s only the second week of marathon training, but it's ok, we’re just gonna shake it off. The situation was delicate, to say the least. We began week two with 3 hot and humid miles on Tuesday... Continue Reading →
Week 1 of marathon training is officially in the books! It started off with some easy mileage, heading toward a weekly goal of 15 miles, which we took in stride (this will be the first of many running puns...you've been warned) and successfully completed.

Our initial 2017 run plan included maybe 3 races. Then as the first... Continue Reading →
We came. We saw. We ran. (And did some wining and dining, of course) The 2017 Run Disney Wine and Dine races at Walt Disney World were truly a feast. Not only was this the first time we were running the Wine and Dine races (we did the two-course challenge), but it was also our... Continue Reading →
Before summer official leaves us and we say hello to fall (believe me, I am so ready for fall!), I've been reflecting back on this summer: what we did differently from last summer's training and how the particular challenge of the last few months have ultimately made me a smarter, stronger runner. My summer running... Continue Reading →
