When Chrissy and I registered and participated in this race last year, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It wasn't until after I committed to the event that I read online that this particular course is considered to be the most technical trail race in New England. It was probably best … Continue reading Seven Sisters, 2017

Celebrate Life – even in 5 degrees!
Yesterday was a day I was not looking forward to - the forecast for frigid weather, the loss of an hour, the long bus ride… I had a few moments when I even considered bailing on the half marathon I had committed to running, but I dug deep and found the motivation to get my … Continue reading Celebrate Life – even in 5 degrees!
Albany – it’s the most wonderful time of the year

It had been a wonderfully, full and satisfying three-day weekend and I felt well-prepared for what promises to be another overflowing with appointments, meetings and commitments week.

Palio in comparison
Sunday morning, despite an early and drizzly start, I headed up to Saratoga with one of the other Lunar Bit*hes and ran the second of three half marathons I had registered for as a personal challenge in honor of my upcoming milestone birthday.
